Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) batsman Aiden Markram says they plan to beat Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 6 wickets in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium During the game, take more offense when hitting the ball. The former SRH captain scored 50 runs from 36 balls at a strike rate of 138.89. He hit 4 quarterbacks and an over-the-top boundary at the crease. SRH climbed to fifth place with 4 points with 2 wins and 2 losses in four games. With the same win-loss ratio, CSK is in third place with 4 points due to a better run rate.

In his post-match speech, Markram said that a six-wicket win against the Chennai-based team was not equivalent to their victory over Mumbai Indians (MI).

The Proteas batsman added that he doesn’t want to be reminded of his hard knocks in the future.

“It’s not bad, not the same as the game against Mumbai because the ball is getting softer and older and it’s not easy and we saw that in the bowling. When we bat, we want to be in front Ten overs and then action from there. Not too much to be honest, I don’t want to overthink it, just look at the ball and bat. I think when you get into tricky wickets you still have to give importance to the batsmen. On good wickets you can play freely and that’s where the impact player rule comes in,” Markram said.

Looking back at the match, SRH won the toss and elected to bowl first. Rachin Ravindra (12) and captain Ruturaj Gaikwad (26 off 21 balls, including three fours and a six) were out early, reducing CSK to 54/2 in 7.1 overs.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1/28), T Natarajan (1/39), Skipper Cummins (1/29) and Jaydev Unadkat (1/29) were among the wickets for SRH.

In the run-chase, Travis Head (31 off 24 balls with three fours and one six) and Abhishek Sharma (37 off 12 balls with three fours) ball and 4 sixes) started very well, taking SRH to 106 in 9.4 overs.
