Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is known for his always cool temperament and accurate decision-making on the field. Dhoni does not seem to panic even in difficult times and due to this specialty, under his captaincy, the Indian team has been the world champion and the Chennai Super Kings team has been the IPL champion. For this reason, the world named him 'Captain Cool'. However, Dhoni's former teammate and former India great opener Virender Sehwag believes that the time has come to hand over the title of 'Mr. Cool' to a new player. Sehwag has given this achievement to Australian captain Pat Cummins. Under the captaincy of Cummins, Australia defeated England by two wickets in the first Ashes Test played at Edgbaston.

In this match, Cummins not only shone with the ball, but in Australia's fourth innings, he shared an unbeaten 55-run partnership with Nathan Lyon to win the match. At one point, Australia's score was 209 for seven wickets and a total of 282 runs were to be scored for victory. After this, Cummins first partnered with wicket-keeper batsman Alex Carey and then Nath Lyon. Thanks to this, the Australian won a historic victory. Cummins played an unbeaten inning of 44 runs in 73 balls. In his innings, he also hit two consecutive sixes off Joe Root.

Sehwag tweeted and praised both Cummins's bowling and batting. Also called him the new Mr. Cool. This match was also described as one of the greatest Test matches of all time. Sehwag wrote – what a test match it was. One of the best Test matches I have seen in recent times. Test cricket is the best cricket. It was a courageous decision by England to declare on the first day, especially considering the weather. However, Khawaja batted brilliantly in both innings and Pat Cummins is the new 'Mr Cool' in Test cricket. What a brilliant innings he played under pressure and his partnership with Lyon was one to be remembered for a long time.
Talking about the first Ashes Test, England, batting first, declared the first innings by scoring 393 runs for eight wickets. After this, the Australian team was reduced to 386 runs in their first innings. England's second innings ended with 273 runs. In such a situation, Australia got a target of 282 runs, which it achieved by losing eight wickets on the fifth day. Usman Khawaja was adjudged Player of the Match. Now the second Test between the two teams will be played at Lord's Cricket Ground on 28 June.
