Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Pat Cummins had equalled legend Anil Kumble's record and became the second skipper with the second-highest wickets in a single season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). 

The Australian speedster has scalped 17 wickets in the ongoing cash-rich league. 

Pat Cummins Equals Anil Kumble's Record 

Pat Cummins equalled Kumble's record of 2010 season with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). In the match against RR, Cummins bagged one wicket and removed Tom Kohler-Cadmore, the RR batter, in the IPL 2024 Qualifier 2 match and achieved the landmark.

Shane Warne still holds the record of most wickets in an IPL season as a captain. The Australian picked up 19 wickets in the 2008 season with the Rajasthan-based franchise.

Earlier in the match, between SRH and RR , Sanju Samson won the toss and decided to field first. Heinrich Klaasen and Rahul Tripathi were the standout batters in the first inning and played a knock which helped the Sunrisers put 175/9 on the scoreboard. 

Travis Head also played a crucial role in opening for the Hyderabad-based franchise.

Trent Boult and Avesh Khan led the Rajasthan bowling attack as the pacers picked up three wickets each in their respective spells.

In the run chase, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel tried their best but failed to chase the target. The Royals stumbled to a 36-run defeat, failing to add runs against the SRH bowlers.

Shahbaz Ahmed led the SRH bowling attack picking up 3 wickets in his four-over spell, while Abhishek Sharma bagged two wickets in his four-over spell.

Sunrisers will face KKR in the final of the ongoing edition at Chepauk on May 26, 2024.
