SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Pat Cummins received a heartwarming birthday surprise during the IPL 2024 clash against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. As Cummins fielded during the first innings, fans serenaded him with a rendition of the birthday song, joined by the DJ, capturing the moment of camaraderie.
The Australian cricketer, turned 31 on Wednesday, was visibly touched by the gesture from the stands, as his SRH teammates contributed to making the day even more special with a stellar performance on the field.
Cummins enjoyed a memorable outing in the SRH jersey, as his team secured a commanding 10-wicket victory against LSG. The bowling unit, led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s miserly spell of 4-0-12-1, restricted the visiting side to 165 runs in 20 overs.
It displayed absolute dominance in the chase as Travis Head (89*) and Abhishek Sharma (75*) unleashed a barrage of boundaries, propelling Sunrisers to victory with a remarkable 167/0 in just 9.4 overs. The win marked a significant milestone for Cummins and highlighted the team’s formidable prowess in the tournament.
