Pat Cummins' decision questioned
When Pat Cummins came for the toss in the final match, he looked quite confused. He said that he is not an expert in reading pitches. After winning the toss, Cummins decided to bat first, but from the first over of the match to the end of Hyderabad's innings, the decision did not go in his team's favor. This sequence continued again when Abhishek Sharma got out in the very first over. SRH batsmen forgot to play shots against Mitchell Starc and Vaibhav Arora. After this, Sunil Narine, Harshit Rana, Andre Russell also continuously tested the Hyderabad batsmen.
