CSK vs SRH: Pat Cummins Reaches 200-Wicket Milestone

Pat Cummins (PC: IPL/BCCI)

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Pat Cummins took his 200th wicket in T20 cricket against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) during the 63rd match of IPL 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. He became the 131st bowler in history to achieve the milestone in the 20-over format.

After winning the toss and electing to bat first, CSK openers Sanju Samson and Ruturaj Gaikwad provided an impressive start. Cummins struck in the third over, dismissing Samson for 27 to deliver the first breakthrough. Cummins found the outside edge as Samson attempted a shot through the covers, and Ishan Kishan safely collected the catch behind the stumps.

Young batter Kartik Sharma, who scored 32 runs, was dismissed after completely misjudging a wide short ball and slicing it straight into the hands of the sweeper-cover fielder.

The milestone wicket came a few overs later when Cummins deceived CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. He induced the CSK skipper into playing a pull shot, resulting in a simple edge for the fielder to catch.

This prized scalp marked Cummins’s 200th wicket in T20 cricket. The double strike triggered a dramatic collapse for the Super Kings, reducing them from a comfortable position to a struggling 100/4 by the middle of the 12th over.

Across his overall T20 career, Cummins has maintained a bowling average of 27.21 and has registered three four-wicket hauls. A significant portion of his success has come in the IPL, where he has claimed 87 wickets in 78 matches.

Cummins finished his four-over spell with figures of 3/28, emerging as SRH’s best bowler of the season.

Consistent Nicholas Pooran can be world’s top T20 batter

Nicholas Pooran’s carnage against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Image: IPL He has always had a calmness about him. A very West Indian relaxed kind of mindset and demeanour. And having seen adversity, he knows that one needs to celebrate and value the good that comes your way. The urge to keep getting better, and be the best version of oneself, is what defines the new Nicholas Pooran. That’s what came through in the candid conversations we had on the IPL and his own approach to batting. Not overawed by the 21-crore price tag or the weight of expectations, Pooran is simply going about his job. He knows he can hit the ball miles and is keeping it simple. Go and do what you do best for hours and hours at practice, and in doing so, help your team Lucknow Super Giants] demolish opponents. “The best part about this franchise is they have never put me under pressure,” he told me. “When you are paid a lot of money, there is always pressure. Not so much from outside but from within. You know you ne...

Turning the clock back by 0.12 seconds

MS Dhoni with a stumping dismissal against MI in the IPL 2025 in Chennai (PC: BCCI) The moment of the Chennai Super Kings-Mumbai Indians match lasted less than half a second. It was the 11 th over of the MI innings. Suryakumar Yadav was bringing the batting side back in the game. Noor Ahmad beat him on a forward charge, the ball spun away, and the right-hander’s hind leg got off the ground before he planted it back. That was all MS Dhoni needed to brush the bails off. At a packed MA Chidambaram Stadium decked in yellow and chanting his name, that was the only occasion when Dhoni was in ‘action’. It showed that at 43, his reflexes have not slackened and he has got sharper in plotting dismissals. This one was replayed on TV again and again during the match and commentators couldn’t help but keep talking about it. He had conceded four byes on the leg side in the same over. But this was the Dhoni who elevated stumping to another level. When it comes to waiting for batters to err wit...

From scoring ton in Patna to taking on bouncers like a ‘bullet’ in Perth – Nitish’s story of perseverance

Image
Nitish Kumar Reddy during the 1st innings of the Perth Test (PC: Debasis Sen) “Grateful, an innings to remember.” Nitish Reddy had posted the aforesaid statement on his Instagram account after cracking his maiden first-class hundred, against Bihar, in Patna. It wasn’t just about Nitish scoring an unbeaten 159 for Andhra. It was also about the way he scored those runs. He essayed a few crunchy drives off Veer Pratap Singh and also showcased his range of shots against Ashutosh Aman, the left-arm spinner, by playing with the turn and also against the turn. This hundred from Nitish came just before the 2024 IPL season, where he accumulated 303 runs. Once again, it wasn’t just about Nitish accruing 303 runs as he accumulated them with a touch of class. Soon, the Indian think-tank drafted the all-rounder into the limited-overs set-up. Although he missed the Zimbabwe series because of a hernia problem, it was crystal clear that the coaching staff had a vision – to pick him for the tour o...
