Pat Cummins has been left scolding himself over his expensive bowling and a missed catch as his Sunrisers Hyderabad outfit slumped to the verge of elimination in the Indian Premier League.
The run-blasting outfit that reached the final in 2024 have been a pale imitation under Cummins' stewardship this year. Their comprehensive 38-run loss to Gujarat Titans in front of 90,000-plus fans in Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium means they're now reliant on other results to rescue their faintest of hopes.
Cummins, whose side have won just three of 10 matches, tried to put on a brave face after Friday's game, admitting their fate now being out of their hands was "unfortunate", but he was clinging on to some faint hope they could still make the final play-off quartet.
