5.40pm CSK were 41 for 2 in nine overs. In the next 11 overs, they amassed 141 for 1. After blocking the bowlers in the Powerplay, CSK found momentum with Rayudu's 27-ball fifty. In his last 16 balls, he smashed 48 runs. Raina brought up a fifty of his own and Dhoni provided the finishing touches. Dhawan-less Sunrisers need 183. Akshay will take care of the chase. Ciao.

Michael Hussey, CSK batting coach: Great comeback. Rayudu, in particular, changed the momentum. It [182] is probably just about par. I wasn't saying anything at the time-out. I thought Hyderabad bowled upfront. Rayudu took responsibility, and the pitch might skip on bit more as the sun goes down.

The highest score chased at this venue in the last three seasons was 148 in the previous encounter between SRH and MI earlier this season

Jayaraman : "This reminds me of the match between CSK n KXIP when Vathaty scored that hundred. CSK were two down very early, before Vijay n Badri rescued them. CSK were later blown away from Valthaty. As a CSK fan, hope no one from SRH does a Valthaty today " --- Valthaty, thanks for reminding the name

Kaul to Rayudu, 1 run, OUT, What a horrible mix-up between the wickets. Farcical running. But Rayudu and Raina laugh it off. Rayudu raises his bat and walks off. This was short and wide outside off, flat-batted away to wide long-off, where Pandey, one of India's best fielders, fumbles. Rayudu senses an opportunity for an extra run. Raina also (seemingly) calls for the second. Pandey throws the ball to Kaul, who fumbles too. He then runs after the ball, tags it to Williamson, who takes the bails off to catch Rayudu short at the non-striker's end. Rayudu can't undo his steps in time
