#Sharjah: On Thursday, Chennai Super Kings played against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the fight to reach the playoffs. Yellow jersey holders simply blew up the orange brigade in the field of Sharjah. Rituraj Gaikwad and South African duo Play C put together a 75-run partnership to chase Sunrisers’ 135 runs. That’s half the job done. Rituraj went back to 45. He explained that he is one of the best batting talents in India at the moment.
One of the best spinners in the world sent Rashid Khan out of the boundary with effortless skill. Moin Ali was bowled by Rashid Khan for 17. Suresh Raina, however, was a complete failure. LBW for 2 off Holder. Du Plessy went back to 41 off Holder in the same over. Dhoni and Rayudu suddenly made it difficult to score runs.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Siddharth Kaul created pressure in the Chennai camp. 16 runs were required in the last two overs. Rayudu eased the tension in the Chennai camp by hitting Bhuvneshwar for an over boundary. Dhoni hits a boundary. After that, there was no doubt about Chennai’s victory. Bhuvneshwar’s over got 13 runs. 3 runs were required in the last over. But Siddharth Kaul bowled brilliantly.
No one could have thought that this match could build up to the last ball. However, with two balls remaining, Mahendra Singh Dhoni hit a boundary and Chennai won the match by 6 wickets. Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad met each other 15 times in the IPL. CSK won all 11. Sunrisers in four. Chennai won again today.
Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Chennai Super Kings by 7 runs in the first match of IPL in Dubai last year, Chennai won the return match by 20 runs. Chennai Super Kings beat Sunrisers by 7 wickets in the first match of the current IPL. The way Bravo, Hazelwood, Jadejara bowled in the first innings, it would have been unusual if Sunrisers won this match. It didn’t happen.
