In a thrilling Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 encounter that went down to the wire, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) scraped past Rajasthan Royals (RR) by a whisker, clinching a one-run victory at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday.

Cummins exalts Bhuvneshwar after electrifying last-ball win vs RR

The star of the night, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, was right on the money, delivering a last-ball thriller to dismiss Rovman Powell lbw, leaving SRH fans on the edge of their seats.

Following the match, SRH captain Pat Cummins took to Instagram to heap praise on Bhuvneshwar.


Sharing a picture with the swing bowler, Cummins wrote, "Love playing alongside this bloke! Brilliant fight back with bat and ball to chalk up a brilliant win @sunrisershyd."


Coming to the SRH vs RR clash, after opting to bat, SRH found their heroes in Travis Head and all-rounder Nitish Reddy, who set the stage with a dynamic 96-run partnership after a couple of quick wickets.

Head’s 44-ball 58, Nitish’s explosive 76 not out off 42 balls, filled with eight sixes, and Heinrich Klaasen's quickfire 42 not out propelled SRH to a formidable 201/3.

Rajasthan Royals' chase was no less dramatic, with young guns Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag turning the tide with a 133-run stand, after early setbacks from Bhuvneshwar's lethal swing bowling in the very first over where he dismissed Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson for ducks.

Despite their valiant efforts and a late charge by Powell, Bhuvneshwar’s final over heroics sealed the deal for Hyderabad, earning him the 'Player of the Match' for his stellar 3/41.
