Pat Cummins plays cricket alongside upcoming Telugu cinema heroine Jahnvi Kapoor. The actress, in turn, smashed the ball back, and it went on to hit one of the mobile phones in the crowd.
Pat Cummins, the Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper, was recently spotted at an event during the promotion of an upcoming Telugu film, 'Peddi,' which features renowned Bollywood actress Jahnvi Kapoor as the heroine of the film.
Overseas cricketers arriving in India and often being part of campaigns and being involved with Bollywood or Tollywood seems pretty common. Formerly, David Warner, the Australian opener, was also influenced by Tollywood's culture.

Skipper Cummins ignores Actress Jahnvi Kapoor during a viral event in Hyderabad.
During a recent viral event organised by New Balance, a brand known for several sports equipment, actress Jahnvi Kapoor and Sunrisers Hyderabad star cricketer Pat Cummins were spotted in a viral conversation.
During the chat, Janhvi was seen calling out Cummins in between his talk with others who were also part of the conversation. However, Cummins did not respond to Janhvi and instead ignored her in a moment that went acutely viral.
He soon, however, turned to the actress and responded later, but for that instant moment, it seemed that the world-famous cricketer did not bother looking at the actress.
