Ben Cutting might be a forgotten name for Indian fans, however, he was a crucial factor in why Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) won their only IPL title in 2016. He played a pivotal role in SRH’s huge win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their home ground in Bengaluru in the final clash.

Since the start of the IPL 2025 season, the Chennai Super Kings have been setting the standard for trolling their opponents, therefore, everyone has been aiming for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Although RCB has treated their trolls fairly, their protracted IPL title drought has always made them a favored target for opposing teams, players, and supporters.

Shivam Dube, an all-rounder for CSK, most recently made fun of the RCB supporters by displaying five stars on his jersey, signifying the team's tournament triumph.

Ben Cutting, a former all-rounder for Sunrisers Hyderabad, was instrumental in RCB's devastating eight-run loss in the IPL 2016 final at Bengaluru's crowded M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.

To silence the entire stadium and assist Sunrisers Hyderabad in winning their first championship, the Australian all-rounder delivered one of the most remarkable knocks in IPL history. However, after their devastating loss to the SRH in 2016, RCB has not advanced to the IPL finals.

Ben Cutting shared an old clip from the IPL 2016 final, taking RCB fans on a journey down memory lane. A fan-made video of the former SRH all-rounder's game-winning performance versus RCB in that unforgettable final was shared on Instagram.

Cutting was instrumental in Sunrisers Hyderabad winning their first-ever IPL trophy in the 2016 final. He helped SRH reach 208/7 by smashing a scorching 39* runs off of just 15 balls. David Warner, the captain, had earlier scored an incredible 69 runs off 38 balls.

He later took two vital wickets with the ball: first, he removed the dangerous Chris Gayle (76), who appeared to be leading RCB to victory, and secondly, he removed the highly effective KL Rahul (11), which ruined RCB's chances of chasing down the score at home.

Cutting was named Man of the Match for his outstanding performance in the final. For RCB supporters, his most recent message evoked those bittersweet memories of how close they were to winning the championship that season and how they are still chasing that moment of glory.

Cutting shared a reel on his Instagram story that directly poked fun at RCB and its fans.

The reel had a text saying, "RCB—We finally won our first IPL trophy. Meanwhile, Ben Cutting—hold my beer." It was a reminder of the 2016 IPL final, where Cutting’s brilliant performance crushed RCB’s dream of winning their first title.

Ben Cutting shared the post on his Instagram and said in the caption, "Keep getting tagged in these edits, one of the great career highlights. Thank you."
