Chennai Super Kings produced a solid performance with both bat and ball to outclass Sunrisers Hyderabad by 78 runs in IPL 2024 on April 28. With this win, CSK have firmly established themselves in the race to make it to the playoffs. For Sunrisers Hyderabad, this is a second consecutive loss and fourth overall and now, it seems that the wheels are slowly starting to fall off from what has been a fine campaign so far. CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, whose century in the last match came in a losing cause, might have fallen short of the three-figure mark by two runs but his effort was instrumental in the home's sides victory. Having lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad earlier this season, Chennai Super Kings would have wanted to make a statement and they surely did the same. IPL 2024 Points Table Updated With Net Run Rate.

Gaikwad and Daryl Mitchell shepherded CSK's innings after the two joined forces in the third over when Ajinkya Rahane was dismissed with the scoreboard reading 19/1. A 107-run partnership between these two players resurrected the innings and formed the foundation for a Shivam Dube onslaught. Mitchell was dismissed for 52 and he was replaced by the left-hander, who once again played some fine shots en route to a 20-ball 39 with one four and four sixes. For SRH, Jaydev Unadkat, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan took one wicket each. Viral Moments From CSK vs SRH IPL 2024 Match: MS Dhoni’s Thunderous Entry, Wife Sakshi Singh Rawat’s Reaction to First-Ball Four Other Highlights From Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Match.

Sunrisers Hyderabad would have been slightly happy as they did not let Chennai Super Kings go on and get a massive score. Batting has been their strength this season, and it was exactly what failed on the night. Travis Head (13), Abhishek Sharma (15) and Anmolpreet Singh (0) were the casualties for Sunrisers. The visitors' innings never gained any impetus in their innings further as they were restricted to 134 all out. CSK vs SRH IPL 2024 Turning Point of the Match: Did Tushar Deshpande’s Three-Wicket Burst in the Powerplay Make the Difference?.
