New Delhi: Australian all-rounder Ben Cutting was brilliant with bat and ball during the opening encounter as the defending champions started the title defense with 35-run win against Royal Challengers Bangalore.



Cutting hit Watson for 2 sixes in the expensive last over, guiding Hyderabad to 207 runs.



He then produced a tremendous throw to run Kedar Jadhav out, nailing the stumps from the deep in the outfield as the Indian batsman attempted a second run.



Jadhav was looking brilliant as he managed to stitch 56-run stand in just 31 deliveries with Travis Head and this piece of work from Cutting proved to be the turning point.
