In the 46th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League, which took place on Sunday at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, the Chennai Super Kings defeated high-flying Sunrisers Hyderabad by 78 runs, making their winning return. Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad hit a dynamite knock of 98 off 54, including ten fours and three sixes. Shivam Dube and Daryl Mitchell each scored 52 runs, bringing CSK’s total to 212/3 after 20 overs.
Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, SRH’s dangerous openers, failed to dominate the CSK bowlers in pursuit of the total, losing their wickets for low scores of (13) and (15, respectively). Aiden Markram exhibited some boldness, breaking 32 off 26, yet Pathirana outwitted him. Heinrich Klassen, a batter for South Africa, has been extremely dangerous this season, but he has also failed to maintain his explosive form.
Pat Cummins’ side lost to their second continuous loss of the time, intensifying the issues for themselves. In recent games, the top SRH batters have not been able to hit, which has put their chances of making the playoffs in some ways in doubt.
