IPL 2024 | Dynamite top-order decimate CSK as Orange Army rules in Hyderabad
[ad_1]
Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and decided to bowl first against Chennai Super Kings in Hyderabad. Amidst enthusiastic cheers from the crowd during the toss, Ruturaj Gaikwad partnered with Rachin Ravindra to open the batting. However, their partnership didn’t flourish as Ravindra fell to Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the fifth over. Gaikwad and Ajinkya Rahane steadied the innings guiding CSK to 48/1 by the end of the powerplay. Despite their promising partnership, Shahbaz Ahmad dismissed the Chennai skipper in the eighth over. Nonetheless, Shivam Dube and Rahane stabilized Chennai’s batting, pushing the score to 84/2 in 10 overs. Dube’s aggressive play came to an end when Cummins dismissed him at 120/3 in the 14th over. A well-set Rahane was dismissed in the 15th over but a resilient partnership between Ravindra Jadeja and Daryl Mitchell helped CSK post a competitive 165/5 in 20 overs.
The Sunrisers began strongly with Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma reaching 35/0 in two overs that included a 27-run over from Mukesh Chaudhary. However, Deepak Chahar ended their partnership by dismissing Sharma in the third over after a quick cameo of 37 off 11 deliveries. Head and Aiden Markram then built a solid foundation, taking the Sunrisers to 78/1 by the end of the powerplay and 101/1 after nine overs. However, Maheesh Theekshana induced the much-needed breakthrough by outsmarting Head for 31 runs off 24 balls. Markram, on the other hand, managed a resilient half-century off 35 balls but departed in the 14th over. While Moeen Ali dismissed Shahbaz Ahmad in the 16th over with 143/4 on board, the equation was easy for the hosts. With 22 needed off 22 balls, it was just a matter of moment and eventually, the Sunrisers clinched victory by six wickets, with Nitish Reddy finishing the game with a six and 11 balls to spare.
IPL really starts IPLing when you are actually scared before your team’s games. Didn’t think CSK would put me in this situation so early.

Respect
No matter the form, condition or situation CSK will become peak of it’s own self when it’s time to save the n.r.r. Gotta respect the hustle.

Rutu is the guy
This loss is on Rutu
Awful batting in pp when the opposition is cooking 15 rr he was going run a ball threw his wicket when it was time to accelerate, sent Jaddu in 13th over
He needs to feel the heat of being a CSK cap, his real test begins now, Mentality test. All the best🫡 pic.twitter.com/42njRxSCMG— Yash (@CSKYash_) April 5, 2024
Serious situation
CSK lost to DC & SRH. They will in all probability lost to KKR.
MI next face DC & RCB who are both in bottom two. If they win both, I’m sure CSK will be under pressure in IPL’s El Clasico. #MIvCSK— Sameer Allana (@HitmanCricket) April 5, 2024
One last tweet of the day!
Mitchell is not required just like Stokes. Moeen in place of him. Fizz and Pathirana coming back. With Rachin, Jaddu, Moeen all three are very good spinners.. CSK needed small changes..!!— 𝑻𝑯𝑨𝑳𝑨 (@Vidyadhar_R) April 5, 2024
Smashed
Big difference!
