Warner, who played his last Test match against Pakistan in Sydney in January has offered to come out of retirement to help the side if need be but Cummins indicated that the team has moved on.
It has also been learnt that Cummins will continue as skipper of the franchise after the Australian guided the side to the final against Kolkata Knight Riders, earlier this year.
Cummins is currently early in a two-month stretch without bowling having been left out of the limited-overs tour of the UK.
Irrespective of the final outcome, it was a season to remember for SRH. After all they managed to answer all critics with a redefined approach that was initially defined by their choice to go bold during the IPL 2024 auction, and later on the ground by their all-or-nothing brand of cricket
Both Gambhir and Cummins have been handed over the reins of their respective sides ahead of this season after both teams endured mid-table finishes over the past few seasons.
Sunrisers’ ultra aggressive approach saw them qualify for the playoffs with 15 points from 13 games, giving them a privilege which can give them two shots at making the final.
Due to the match being called off without a ball being bowled, both SRH and GT now share a point each.
The Pat Cummins-led outfit will also gun for a top-two finish, considering they have another game at hand and also boasts of a healthy net run-rate of +0.406.
CSK’s batting has so far revolved around skipper Gaikwad, whose second IPL century, the other day, came in a losing cause, and the in-form Shivam Dube, who once again impressed with yet another fifty.
