The Heathrow Express is quicker into central London than taking the Underground all the way, but does involve more changes.
OR take the London Underground from Heathrow to London King’s Cross. You will need a Piccadilly Line train going eastbound. From London King’s Cross, take the train to Cambridge.
Note that there are fewer trains on Sundays and buses may replace trains if there is scheduled engineering work. Check the rail timetables before travelling.
