Cummins recently found himself in the middle of a storm when he was widely quoted as saying: "My brave and bold prediction, I would say think that Virat Kohli is not going to have a hundred and we are going to bring them down here."

Clarifying his comments, Pacer said his comments were misunderstood since he just wished the Indian did not mark a century during India's tour, which includes three Twenty20 Internationals, four tests and three international one day, starting with the first T20I on November 21st.

"I was almost trying to do the opposite of how they were perceived, I was trying to make it a huge compliment and to say that my big wish list for the summer was that It was not worth a hundred, "says Cummins. cricket.com.au.

"He is obviously so important to the team and is such a drummer, so he is not going to help us win, but I did not mean that it's not good because that I could not hold him in high esteem, "he added.

Cummins pointed out that his team will give his one hundred percent to prevent the Indian captain from registering a three-digit mark.

"There is a good chance that he will score us a hundred times against us and we will do everything in our power to try to stop this.

"It was just a game. It was a fairly casual interview to say that I would love that it does not score points, as I'd like that to be n & # 39; Any international player does not score points against us, "he clarified.

Cummins then compared Kohli, 29, with former Australian skipper Steve Smith: "Kohli is a pbadionate player and I'm sure he does not need extra motivation to go out there and put everything into what he does. "

"He looks like Steve Smith for us, he really embarks on the competition and is trying to find a way to launch the bowlers, they seem to use it as a way to make the most of them- same and I think that also feeds on other players in the team.

"The captain and the best drummer is still the favorite wicket and I'm sure it will not be different this summer," he added.
