Setting the stage for themselves, CSK made an extremely competitive batting line-up, gathering their home pitch with an impressive figure of 212 runs. The terrific opener, Ruturaj Gaikwad, put in a marvelous display, scoring 98 runs from 54 shots that saw CSK rush to a good start.
Notwithstanding a couple of balls short of a half-century (that his contribution in setting the tone of a commanding innings can come second to none), showing such excellent performance, Ruturaj Gaikwad was promoted to second place on the IPL Orange Cap standings that are obtained by each player who accumulated the most runs during the whole season at a great average of 63 runs per game alongside a terrific strike rate of 149.

Accompanied by Ruturaj Gaikwad’s contribution, Daryl Michell was an inseparable element that not only helped Chennai’s score but also improved its innings, as he put together a composed 52 runs off just 32 balls, including 7 boundaries and 1 six. Besides, the same cavalier stroke of Shivam Dube with the bat came out, who put up a handy 39 off 20 runs, which assisted CSK to keep adding towards their eventual total.

SRH’s Disappointing Chase

Facing Sunrisers Hyderabad with a gigantic 213-run target, the team had a steep uphill climb as they started. The best pair of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head have been the vital cogwheel in SRH’s gamble to create a solid foundation at the top of their order. Besides, they dreamed of beginning with flying colors, but the downfall was more sudden after the destructive second over by Tushar Deshpande.

Towards the end of the innings, SRH failed to seize the initiative, with Aiden Markram providing the only relief to the total in the form of thirty runs. Though their effort failed, they crumbled and got evicted shamelessly from the game with a very low score of 134 runs. Besides, this victory over the Gujarat Titans puts Super King in a group of two teams that have suffered recent losses after the defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their previous game.
Chennai Super Kings not only played an impeccable game but also the never-ending dedication of Ruturaj Gaikwad led them to the top, for sure, against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Thereby, CSK have sailed past being merely hopeful to become a legitimate contender in the IPL via their convincing win, solidifying their overall dominant position in the IPL.
