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
Stanlake to bowl the last over. So, Bhuvneshwar won't finish his quota
