SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) skipper Pat Cummins took a dig at his Australian teammate Marnus Labuschagne after SRH posted the highest team total of 287/3 in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. SRH, who had battered Mumbai Indians (MI) for 277/3 a few days ago, improved their own record by 10 runs on April 15 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
After the match, Cummins posted a photo of himself along with Travis Head, who scored a belligerent 102 off 41 balls, on the social media platform Instagram. Cummins wrote in the caption: 'This guy (in reference to Head)' and mentioned the runs scored by SRH to which Labuschagne responded with 'wow.'
Cummins then went brutal with his next comment and wrote in reply to Labuschagne: "Marnus, you'd clear the fence here at Bangalore." Notably, Labuschagne is not known for hitting many sixes while batting.
Cummins also expressed a bit of surprise at SRH bettering their record of highest IPL total by a team within days and said after the match: "Against Mumbai a few weeks ago I thought it won't happen again, but it has happened again."

As for RCB, they started off with a blaze as Virat Kohli and Fafdu Plessis scored 80 runs in 6.1 overs before Mayank Markande clean-bowled Kohli with a googly. RCB always needed something special to win the game but once Kohli departed, the chase derailed.
They were soon 122/5 at midway when Karthik and Mahipal Lomror took over. The duo added 59 runs in 25 balls to give RCB a sniff but the target was too much to handle. RCB, despite posting thehighest total in a chase, fell short by 25 runsafter scoring 262/7.
With the win, SRH now have eight points from four victories in eight games and currently sit at fourth place on the 10-team table.
