Watch: 'Stunned' Sam Curran absolutely angry after Harshal Patel palms over Jaydev Unadkat's shot for a six

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) recovered from a disastrous start to post a competitive total of 182/9 in their ongoing game against Punjab Kings at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Chandigarh.

Asked to bat first, SRH were in all sorts of trouble after losing the wickets of Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Aiden Markram inside the powerplay. In the fourth over, Arshdeep Singh dismissed Head for 21 before sending back Markram for a duck. In the very next over, Sam Curran dismissed Sharma for 16 to leave SRH reeling at 39 for 3.

The likes of Heinrich Klaasen and Rahul Tripathi failed to get going as well and SRH found themselves reeling at 100 for 5 in the 14th over. With most of the big names back in the hut and less than six overs remaining, not many were expecting SRH to post a 180-plus total.

However, Nitish Reddy came up with a brilliant knock to power his team to the big total. He slammed 64 runs off just 37 balls with the help of four fours and five sixes. Abdul Samad also played a crucial cameo of 25 runs from just 12 balls.

Sam Curran in disbelief:

On the very last ball of SRH's innings, Sam Curran's reaction to a blunder by Harshal Patel pretty much summed up PBKS' display with the ball towards the end. Just like PBKS had the opportunity to restrict SRH to a modest total and they failed to do so, Harshal also had the opportunity to prevent a six but he squandered the chance.

Sam Curran bowled a short-of-length delivery and Jaydev Unadkat hit it towards long-on. The ball was over Harshal's head but was well within his reach. He got both of his hands on the ball but failed to catch it and ended up palming it over the boundary ropes for a six. Sam Curran was in absolute disbelief after Harshal's effort and his reaction said it all.
