Pat Cummins was the only Australian to shine on what was a tough day for some of his countrymen in the Indian Premier League on Saturday.
Cummins wasn't exactly instrumental in the Delhi Daredevils win over Kings XI Punjab but he did take 2-23 in an economical four overs, that saw him claim the scalp of the dangerous Eoin Morgan for 23.

Cummins, the only Australian in the Delhi line-up, claimed bragging rights over Glenn Maxwell, who fell for a second-ball duck to the bowling of Amit Mishra.
Cummins also did some late innings damage with the bat, smashing 12 not out off six deliveries to help the Daredevils to a total of 6-188.
England's Sam Billings (55) hit his second IPL half century and New Zealand left-hander Corey Anderson's brisk 39 off 22 balls also helped lay the platform for the Daredevils.
The early-innings losses of Manan Vohra, Hashim Amla and Wriddhiman Saha set Kings XI back to 3-31 before Morgan and David Miller tried to steady the ship.
No.7 batsman Axar Patel top-scored with 44 before Morris clean bowled the left- hander off the last ball.
In the day's other match the Kolkata Knight Riders went top of the table with a 17-run victory over defending champions Sunrisers Hyderabad.
David Warner's side were put on the back foot early as Knight Riders' first drop Robin Uthappa blasted 68 off 39 balls until he was eventually caught out off the bowling of Ben Cutting.
That wicket mattered little though, as his third-wicket partnership with Manish Pandey yielded 77 runs before Uthappa fell.
Kolkata went on the finish their innings at 6-172.
Cutting's wicket was really the only bright spot for any of the three Australians in the Hyderabad team.
Cutting was otherwise dispatched to all parts of the ground, taking 1-41 off his four overs, while Moises Henriques was taken for 0-26 off two overs.
They didn't fare much better with the bat. Warner made 26 off 30 balls, Henriques had 13 from 10 when he was caught and bowled by Chris Woakes and Cutting could only manage 15 from 10 in a quick lower-order cameo.
Hyderabad simply couldn't keep pace in their chase and ultimately fell 17 runs short with a 20-over total of 6-155.
