The infectious ‘Karinkaliyalle’ reel trend has found a new participant in none other than the Sunrisers Hyderabad captain himself, Pat Cummins. Following his team’s nail-biting one-run victory over the formidable Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2024, Cummins couldn’t resist adding his twist to the viral sensation.
After the match, Cummins was feeling happy and playful. He copied a scene from a famous movie called ‘Aavesham,’ which is well-known because of actor Fahadh Faasil. But Cummins didn’t just copy the scene exactly. He added in the exciting story of how the match went.
The match, which saw Sunrisers Hyderabad setting a target of 202 runs for the Rajasthan Royals, witnessed early setbacks for the Royals with the dismissals of Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson. Yet, a remarkable 134-run partnership between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag breathed new life into the innings, reviving hopes for the inaugural champions.
However, as the game approached its climax, late wickets and disciplined death bowling from the Sunrisers tightened the screws, ultimately leading to a thrilling one-run victory for the Hyderabad-based franchise.
Cummins’ playful rendition of the ‘Karinkaliyalle’ reel, intertwined with a recap of the match’s twists and turns, encapsulated the spirit of celebration and camaraderie that defines the IPL. As the trend continues to captivate audiences both on and off the field, Cummins’ participation adds another memorable chapter to its ever-growing saga.
