BGT 2024 | Twitter lights up as Cummins delivers for SRH with a lifeline to his teammate Reddy
Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood had India reeling, reducing them to 47/4 in 23 overs. The Indian top order faltered, with Yashasvi Jaiswal, Devdutt Padikkal, Virat Kohli, and Dhruv Jurel failing to contribute significantly. KL Rahul provided a brief glimmer of hope with his 26 off 74, but he fell to a controversial decision. By the time Washington Sundar was dismissed for just four off 15 balls, India was struggling at 59/6. However, Nitish Kumar Reddy had fortune on his side when Cummins opted against taking a DRS call, allowing him to stay at the crease.
On the final ball of the 37th over, Starc delivered a sharp, short ball aimed at Reddy’s body. Attempting to evade it, Reddy tried to guide the ball over the keeper but instead gloved it to Alex Carey. The Australians appealed passionately, with Carey convinced there was glove contact. After deliberating, Cummins chose not to review, and Starc concluded his over. Replays later confirmed the ball had indeed kissed Reddy’s glove, leaving the Aussies visibly frustrated. Twitter erupted, highlighting Nitish’s lucky escape and questioning Cummins’ missed opportunity on the debutant’s crucial lifeline.
A gift from Cummins

Serious all rounder
Very good
Nitish Kumar Reddy picking a very good length to bring out that reverse-sweep. Slightly shorter and the bounce here would always leave him vulnerable to a top edge
