Pat Cummins once again displayed his incredible versatility on the cricket field during the Sunrisers Hyderabad versus Punjab Kings clash at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh. Leading the Sunrisers Hyderabad side, Cummins showcased his fielding prowess with a remarkable catch to dismiss the formidable Sam Curran.

As Punjab Kings struggled at 20 for 3, Curran, alongside Sikandar Raza, aimed to stabilize the innings. However, Cummins intervened in the 10th over, shattering their partnership and leaving Punjab Kings reeling at 58 for 4. Curran attempted a lofted shot off T Natarajan’s delivery, seemingly aiming for a boundary over mid-off.

As of the latest update, Punjab Kings stood at 75 for 4 in the 12th over, requiring 108 more runs for their third victory of the season.
