Moody Compares Cummins' SRH Captaincy to MS Dhoni's Style

Chennai Super Kings and SunRisers Hyderabad got involved in an interesting IPL 2024 match that witnessed some superb flying from the latter as they ran away with the trophy after winning by 6 wickets. 

Absolutely no stopping the SRH batter from crashing the CSK bowlers, leaving the team already one step down from a back-to-back humiliation. While SRH managed to advance to the fifth position on the IPL 2024 points table after the defeat, CSK maintained their hold on the third spot. While other games from the bat and the ball were not unusual, an interesting event happened in the game.

Highlights Of SRH vs CSK Match:

However, on Friday Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins again proved his ability as captain:

• when he washed off Chennai Super Kings by six wickets in their IPL 2024 match. 
• The team of SRH got 166/4 after 18.1 overs and it was mainly due to a fifty from Aiden Markram who played 50 runs in 36 balls. 
• On the other side, 23-year-old Abhishek Sharma stood with Travis Head and made 37 runs off 12 deliveries.

Moody Statement:

Tom Moody was highly complimentary about Cummins and ascribed his captaincy abilities to MS Dhoni. "One aspect of Cummins that I adore is that he is a bit like MS Dhoni. He is prepared to go a step ahead of the maddening crowd and make a decision that most people don’t consider, but after such a decision you are left thinking 'Why didn’t I think of that?' Just like the Abhishek Sharma over. At the given instance it looked like an odd decision.

"Bhuvneshwar Kumar is maybe the finest new ball bowler in IPL history. When it comes to left-handers, you have an off-spinner. You would assume Markram would be the next one. There were plenty of alternative options available to him. However, he made that commitment, and it appeared that he had persuaded himself that it was the appropriate choice right away," he said.
