Dinesh Karthik's wicket during the ongoing match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi Stadium added a twist to the proceedings. Karthik, who had shown promise in his brief stint at the crease, fell prey to Pat Cummins' bowling prowess.

In the 18th over, facing Cummins, Dinesh Karthik's timing eluded him as he attempted a pull shot on a short delivery outside off stump. Unfortunately, he mistimed it, sending the ball skyward towards the leg side. Abdul Samad, stationed at deep square leg, made no mistake in grabbing the offering, securing an important wicket for SRH.

Cummins, the Australian pacer, showcased his skill with a well-executed slower delivery, catching Karthik off guard. This wicket was crucial for SRH as they aimed to restrict RCB's total. It was a night of mixed fortunes for Cummins, who had a relatively expensive spell, but his contribution in breaking partnerships was invaluable.

For Karthik, it was a missed opportunity to capitalize on the momentum. Despite his brief innings of 11 runs off 6 balls, he couldn't make a substantial impact. Nevertheless, his ability to rotate the strike was evident during his stay at the crease.

As the innings concluded, RCB set a challenging target of 207 runs for SRH to chase down.
