Bhuvi In the first half of IPL 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad, who poured out a flood of runs with destructive batting, scared the opposing teams.
However, Sunrisers lost consecutive matches at the hands of RCB and CSK. The fans of the other teams who breathed a sigh of relief, trolled the Orange Army saying that Sunrisers had come into form. They made fun of it as vintage sunrises. But in the match against Rajasthan, the bowlers of Sunrisers performed brilliantly. Reminded me of vintage Sunrisers.
Sunrisers Hyderabad recorded a thrilling victory against Rajasthan Royals by one run in the IPL 2024. Rajasthan needed 13 runs to win in the last over. Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled brilliantly. Bhuvi LBWed Rovman Powell with a full toss off the last ball when Rajasthan needed two runs to win. With this, Sunrisers got a memorable victory.
Before this match, the fans of the other teams trolled Sunrisers, who had lost at the hands of RCB and Chennai in two consecutive matches. They made fun of saying that Sunrisers have come into form. Remembering the weak batting of Sunrisers in previous seasons. But Sunrisers’ bowling department in the match against Rajasthan really reminded me of the vintage Sunrisers. Bowling brilliantly in mid-overs and death overs.. Sunrisers’ bowling department, which has a history of keeping low targets, dominated Rajasthan in the last three overs.
Batting first in this match, Sunrisers scored 201 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 20 overs. Bhuvi hit Rajasthan with a target of 202 runs in the first over. Bhuvneshwar, who dismissed Jos Buttler on the second ball, bowled Sanju Samson in the fifth ball of that over. Rajasthan took a bit of a step back as two of their in-form players were ducked out. But with Yashaswi Jaishwal (67 off 40 balls) and Ryan Parag (77 off 49 balls) showing their strength, the Royals made 135 runs in 13.2 overs.
But the Sunrisers bowlers took the wickets of Jaishwal and Parag at the crucial time and brought the team back into the race. In the last three overs, Rajasthan needed 27 runs to win.. Nataraj, Cummins, and Bhuvneshwar bowled brilliantly. Nuttoo gave a six in the first ball of the 18th over… then bowled two dot balls and added Hetmeyer (13) in the fourth ball. Nataraj took a crucial wicket after giving away seven runs in that over.
Captain Cummins, who came to bowl in the 19th over, dismissed Dhruv Jurel on the first ball. Cummins bowled the next four balls with variation and conceded just one run. But as Powell hit a six off the last ball, Rajasthan needed 13 runs to win in the last over.
Due to the slow over rate, Sunrisers had to keep only four fielders outside the 30-yard circle in the last over. However, Bhuvneshwar Kumar who bowled brilliantly gave victory to Sunrisers.
Besides taking wickets in the first over in this match, Bhuvneshwar Kumar who defended 13 runs in the last over brought to mind vintage Bhuvi. Netizens are showering praises on Bhuvi who became the player of the match after seven years. Dinda Academy, which trolls bowlers who give more runs, posted a funny post on social media saying ‘Frad Bhuvi saved 13 runs against Rajasthan in the last over’. Netizens are also reacting with fun.
One replied that Bhuvi had been suspended from our academy again.. but the other trolled saying Vintage Sunrisers is back.. Bhuvi took it seriously.. He posted that he showed what Vintage Sunrisers can do.
