In a heartwarming and humorous moment after Sunrisers Hyderabad’s recent win over Lucknow Super Giants, skipper Pat Cummins stole the spotlight with a playful gesture towards his Australian teammate Mitchell Marsh. As the team boarded the bus post-match, Cummins was spotted carrying a cardboard cutout of Marsh, flashing a broad grin and declaring with enthusiasm, “My Man!”
The video, shared by SRH on their official ‘X’ handle, instantly went viral, winning the hearts of fans for its camaraderie and lightheartedness. This light moment came at the end of a bittersweet night for both teams. While Sunrisers Hyderabad had already been eliminated from IPL 2025 earlier in the season, their victory over Lucknow also meant the end of LSG’s playoff hopes.
