I honestly think he is that good that we will be talking about him in a few years as being just behind Sir Don Bradman as the greatest Australian cricketer,&#8221; opined Vaughan.<br \/>Cummins had a remarkable year, leading Australia to significant victories, including retaining the Ashes, winning the ICC World Test Championship, and securing Australia&#8217;s sixth <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/icc-cricket-world-cup-2019\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" target=\"\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ICC Cricket World Cup<\/a>. <br \/>His noteworthy performances with both the ball and bat were pivotal to Australia&#8217;s success, culminating in a historic win over Pakistan in the Boxing Day Test, where he also claimed a ten-wicket haul.<br \/>The <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" target=\"\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IPL<\/a> auctions in Dubai recently witnessed Cummins become the most expensive player momentarily, securing a Rs 20.50 crore deal with Sunrisers Hyderabad. <br \/>With 59 wickets in 24 matches in 2023, Cummins showcased his all-round abilities and leadership skills, solidifying his standout status in international cricket.<br \/><span class=\"strong\">(With inputs from ANI)<\/span><\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ?
