Sanvir Singh received applause from reigning World Cup-winning captain Pat Cummins on Sunday when Sunrisers Hyderabad were up against Punjab Kings in Match 69 of IPL 2024 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

The incident happened when T Natarajan bowled a slow delivery to hard-hitting Ashutosh Sharma during the 19th over of Punjab's innings. Placed at short cover, Sanvir back-paddled quickly and completed a catch with a reverse-cup technique while his body was up in the air.

It was a kind of Australian mentality from Sanvir, as players from Cummins' homeland never give up whenever they attempt a catch.

For SRH, T Natarajan returned figures of 2/33, while Vijayakanth Viyaskanth and Pat Cummins were the other wicket-takers. Nitish Reddy, meanwhile, was the most expensive bowler, conceding 54 runs off his three overs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was also remained wicketless, as he gave up 36 runs off his four overs.
