Cutting displayed his magnificent big-hitting skills against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final of the 2016 Indian Premier League. His unbeaten 39 off just 15 balls allowed Sunrisers Hyderabad to post a huge 208/7 and his big-hitting left Royal Challengers Bangalore shell-shocked.
Coming into bat after the fall of Yuvraj Singh, Cutting got going with a six and a four off Shane Watson in the 18th over of SRH's chase. However, it was in the final over that he unleashed his brutality. He started off by slicing a low full toss past deep backward point for a boundary and it only got worse for Watson.
The bowler bowled a full toss and Cutting launched it out of the stadium for a big 117-meter six. On the third ball, he flat-batted a pull shot to deep mid wicket and he signed off the innings in style with a straight six over long off to help SRH end on 208/7
