Cummins also marshalled his resources expertly, which left the hosts to get 29 in the final over bowled by Jaydev Unadkat. It should have been a done deal but three dropped catches, two of them parried for sixes, injected some jeopardy in th...

SRH vs PBKS, What caught our Eye: Bhuvneshwar plots perfect Shikhar slay, Cummins has Bairstow’s no. & Unadkat’s last gasp stutter yielding 3 sixes, 3 wides

[ad_1] For a side that is flying high, Hyderabad’s issues with the ball in death overs persist. Apart from Pat Cummins, Hyderabad have Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan — two death overs specialists. But so far this season, they have looked a pale shadow of what they used to be. With Kumar struggling to execute his yorkers and Natarajan coming back from an injury, their efficacy has wavered at the death. Those yorkers which he used to land perfectly in the blockhole have deserted Kumar. As a result, Hyderabad have had to bank on Jaydev Unadkat to do the tough job. So far he has blown hot and cold at the death. And with 28 to defend off the final over chasing 183, he gave Hyderabad a nervy ending, conceding 26 runs including 3 sixes and 3 wides.
