Australian skipper Pat Cummins experienced an adorable interruption during the post-match press conference after Australia’s six-wicket victory over India in the fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
His young son, Albie, stole the spotlight by walking through the gate and calling out “dada,” a moment that quickly won hearts on social media. Despite the unexpected interruption, Cummins handled the situation with the same calm demeanor he shows on the field. In a heartwarming gesture, he acknowledged Albie’s presence before continuing with the press conference, a moment that has endeared him further to fans online. During the conference, Cummins praised debutant Beau Webster, whose all-round performance was instrumental in Australia’s victory. “Beau was huge this Test,” said Cummins. “He’s one of those quintessential all-rounders who contributes in every facet of the game. That’s what he does for Tasmania, and he showed that here. He bowled beautifully, took some great catches, and played two crucial innings. He was always involved in the game and couldn’t have asked for a better debut. I think he was right there with Scotty (Scott Boland) for Player of the Match.” Webster, making his debut, played a vital role in rescuing Australia’s first innings with a composed 57. Before his impressive knock, he displayed sharp fielding skills, grabbing two key catches at third slip. His performance left a strong impression, cementing his place as a rising star in Australian cricket.
