Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins has achieved a milestone that no other captain has managed in the 18-year history of the Indian Premier League. Cummins is leading by example, bolstering SRH’s bowling with his own impressive performance against Delhi Capitals.
A Historic Feat
In the current IPL season, Cummins has made history by becoming the first captain to take three wickets in the powerplay. He achieved this by dismissing Delhi’s batsmen on the first ball of each of his three overs. No other captain in IPL history has accomplished this feat.
SRH is struggling this season, having lost seven of their 10 matches, with only three wins under their belt. They have six points so far. With four matches remaining, including the one against Delhi, SRH can still manage to get 14 points if they win all their remaining games.
However, based on the current IPL standings, 14 points might not be enough to secure a playoff spot. Four teams have already surpassed or equaled this mark. Cummins’ exceptional performance is a bright spot for SRH, but the team’s overall performance has been disappointing.
SRH’s Chances
SRH’s playoff hopes are dwindling, but they still have a chance to make a late surge. Winning all their remaining matches would put them on 14 points, but it remains to be seen if that’s enough to make the cut. The team’s performance will be closely watched in the remaining matches.
