Star Sports captioned the video on social media.Grace's culinary adventure follows in the footsteps of SRH captain Pat Cummins, who recently enjoyed a Hyderabadi biryani feast with his family at the Southern Mirchi restaurant.On Thursday, SRH secured a spot in the IPL 2024 playoffs after their match against the Gujarat Titans was washed out. The team joined the Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals in the playoffs, while the fourth and final spot remains up for grabs.Currently, three teams – Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) – are in contention for the final playoff berth. LSG's Net Run Rate (NRR) makes it an uphill battle for them, but they still have a slim chance of qualifying.To do so, LSG must defeat the Mumbai Indians by a significant margin in their final game on Friday, boosting their NRR above +0.400. Additionally, they must hope that RCB defeats CSK by a narrow margin, keeping both teams' NRRs below LSG's.
