It was a forgettable night for the Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2024 as they suffered their second consecutive defeat, this time against SunRisers Hyderabad. Apart from Shivam Dube, none of the CSK batsmen who batted first were available. They could only manage 165/5 in 20 overs. In Reply, SRH got off to a good start with strong batting from Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head. In fact, they defeated the fastest 50 team in IPL history in 3.3 overs.

SRH chased the target in 18.1 overs for the loss of only 4 wickets. In the fifth over of SRH’s innings, CSK pacer Deepak Chahar seemed to be trying to run out Aiden Markram at the non-striker’s end. He stopped before the delivery but Markram did not leave his crease.

Social media users did not make this decision.

Deepak Chahal was distracted by the possibility of a non-striker taking the lead. The CSK bowling unit looked terrible, conceding the fastest 50 balls in this year’s IPL.

This could be a huge NRR headwind for CSK

People should believe Pat Cummins on the black soil wicket and Travis… pic.twitter.com/ed3PEgS9tH

Talking about the match, Chennai Super Kings made a mistake in their batting innings and then got hit by a tornado named Abhishek Sharma who gave Hyderabad 37 off 12 balls Sunrisers Hyderabad eased past the defending champions by six wickets in an IPL match on Friday.

The SRH bowlers were very disciplined while restricting CSK to 165 runs in 5 overs of 20 while scoring just 37 runs in the last 5 overs.

If 37 runs in the last five games was a poor showing for CSK, young left-hander Abhishek also scored 37 runs in a brilliant game but only from 12 deliveries, including 4 sixes The ball laid the foundation. Aiden Markram then completed a run chase with a 36-ball 50 as SRH completed the run in just 18.1 overs.

After Abhishek dismissed a listless Mukesh Chaudhary for 27, he joined opener Travis Head (31 off 24 balls) in seven overs The victory was achieved by 60 runs on the second wicket. The match ended as a one-on-one affair with CSK having lost both of their away games while SRH have now won both of their home games. CSK had a chance first but Moeen Ali bowled Hyder off the second delivery bowled by Deepak Chahar.

Thereafter, there was chaos as 23-year-old Abhishek hit two fours and three sixes off Mukesh. Mukesh was forced into the squad in the absence of Mustafizur Rahaman, who had taken a break to return home and submit his US visa application. Mukesh, playing his first competitive match in 16 months, impressed in his only outing and will again warm up the bench in the next game when Mustafizou returns.
