Pat Cummins does have a history with the Ahmedabad crowd at the Narendra Modi Stadium, given his comments in the past. On Friday, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) lauded the fans in the stands after losing to the home side Gujarat Titans (GT) by 38 runs in their 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) match.
“It is an amazing venue to play. They are so nice and loud,” Pat Cummins said at the end of the match.
Invited to bat, skipper Shubman Gill scored a 38-ball 76 before Jos Buttler slammed 64 off 37 deliveries for the Titans.
In reply, Abhishek Sharma (74) gave SRH a solid start but GT bowlers stopped the visitors at 186/6.

Cummins rued the Sunrisers’ performance with bat, ball and in the field.
When asked what went wrong for them, Cummins said: “Couple of things.”
“Our powerplay with the bat wasn’t too great. I was as guilty as anyone else. Probably let them get 20-30 extra runs. Maybe hang on to one or two catches. Again am guilty there. Chasing 200 looked a bit more realistic,” he said.
Asked about GT’s approach with the bat, Cummins replied: “They are class batters. They don’t do anything outlandish. If you bowl bad balls, they just put it away. We probably dished out too many bad balls. It is a really good wicket. Going for 140 in the last 14 overs was good on the bowling part. Sharma batted nicely. Nitish at the end. Left a little too much and too late for the batters.”

With the loss, SRH’s play-off prospects suffered significantly as GT inched closer to sealing a playoff spot by climbing up into second on the IPL 2025 points table.
“We can cling on to some hope. Big auction last year. The core of the group will be there for three years. So, lots to play for,” Cummins signed off.
