Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins delivered a devastating opening spell, dismantling the Delhi Capitals' top order in dramatic fashion. In what has been their most dismal start of IPL 2025 so far, Axar Patel’s side found themselves reeling at 29 for five within the first seven overs.

Cummins set the tone immediately, striking with the very first delivery of the match and continuing his dominance by removing both openers, Karun Nair and Faf du Plessis, as well as No. 3 batter Abhishek Porel. The Australian pacer has been exceptional with the new ball, conceding just 12 runs in his first three overs while accounting for three critical wickets.
