The Rajiv Gandhi Stadium crowd made skipper Pat Cummins' birthday extra special by singing 'Happy Birthday Pat Cummins' during the game. In between an over during the match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Cummins received a surprise from the fans which definitely might have made his day.
Apart from that, his teammates also gave him a surprise by chasing down a target of 166 runs in 9.4 overs with 10 wickets to spare. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma played a brilliant knock and now SRH has moved to the third position of the points table. It was a special win for the Orange Army as it came on their captain's birthday.

SRH's performance in this year's IPL has been fantastic thanks to the opening pair of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head. Both players have attacked the bowlers from the first ball and never allowed the bowlers to dominate them in any way. It was a good season for them and if they manage to continue their current form, they might win the trophy as well.
'The boys have had a fantastic season...' - Skipper Pat Cummins praises SRH
Skipper Pat Cummins talks highly about his team's performance after winning the game against LSG. They chased a massive score of 166 runs within 10 overs thanks to Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma. Moreover, the bowlers did a great job in dismissing the team to just 165 runs.
"I think the scores have gone up, and when the wickets are good, it is tough to come up with answers against batters when they get going. The boys have had a fantastic season, but to win this with less than 10 overs played is unreal," said Pat Cummins in the post-match presentation.
