The Australian cricket captain paid tribute to wife Becky on Valentine's Day.

Pat Cummins is the toast of social media after a sarcastic response to a fan's comment about his wife Becky. The Australian cricket captain took to social media on Wednesday to pay tribute to his wife on Valentine's Day.

Cummins posted two photos of Becky, including one of the couple holding surfboards. He wrote in the caption: “Super-mum, wife, my valentine and apparently a pro-surfer too. Happy Valentine’s Becky Cummins."

The post was met with a flood of comments from fans, with one bizarrely reading: "I am Indian I love you your wife (sic)." Cummins then responded to the comment: "I'll pass it onto her!"

Cummins' reply had followers in a frenzy, with one person writing: "That's a savage reply." Another person commented, "I love his simplicity", while a third sarcastically wrote: "What a gentleman he is."

Pat Cummins' phenomenal year as Australian cricket captain.

Pat and Becky tied the knot in 2022 and welcomed son Albie together the year before. Becky has been a constant support by her husband's side as he ascended to the Australian captaincy and enjoyed a brilliant year in 2023.

Cummins helped Australia retain the Ashes on English soil in July, before they won the World Test Championship in the final against India not long after. He then captained the side to glory at the ODI World Cup in November, with the Aussies once again beating India in the decider.

As well as a stellar year with the ball, Cummins produced a number of crucial knocks with the bat in 2023. He combined with Nathan Lyon to steer Australia to victory in the second Ashes Test while eight wickets down, and hung around when Glenn Maxwell blasted a match-winning and record-breaking double century against Afghanistan at the World Cup.

"Then one day, a few weeks after we started dating, she walked past a KFC in the city, and on the front was me wearing a bucket hat." She reckons she did a double take and was like, 'Hang on, that's Pat'."
