The century went in vain as SRH beat RR by 5 wickets, but Cummins did not hold back in acknowledging the teenager's efforts with the bat.

"You've got to be right on the money as a bowler. Because if you're not, it's going a long way. He's impressive.

Sooryvanshi's knock saw RR get to a score of 228/6. The target of 229 wasn't enough as SRH chased it down riding on the back of fiery half-centuries from Abhishek Sharma (57 in 29 balls) and Ishan Kishan (74 in 31 balls).
