IPL 2024 CSK vs SRH Match Highlights: Gaikwad's 98, Deshpande's 4 Star As Hyderabad Bottle Another 200+ Chase

CSK vs SRH: Bye bye! 🫡

Congratulations to Ruturaj Gaikwad, Tushar Deshpande and the entire CSK team for a massive victory. Meanwhile, also hardluck to SRH, but that's cricket. 

Nevertheless, do join us tomorrow for another IPL crackerjack, when Kolkata meet Delhi in Eden Gardens. Till then, it's Arjun Bhalla signing off on the behalf of my beloved OneCricket team.

CSK vs SRH Player of the Match: Ruturaj Gaikwad

There was a good toss between Ruturaj Gaikwad and Tushar Deshpande over who would win the Player of the Match award. But the CSK captain leapfrogged his pacer to win the award.

Gaikwad has won the Player of the Match for his 98 off 54 deliveries. 

Stat attack: This victory is also MS Dhoni's 150 victory in the IPL. 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: No fifer for Tushar Deshpande tonight!

Fizz takes the second of the over. Moeen Ali with the catch. SRH gets all-out at 134. Alas, Tushar Deshpande won't has his five-wicket haul tonight. Chennai Super Kings complete a clinical 78-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad, who are on a two-match losing streak. Interestingly, this is the first time SRH has got bowled out this season, and also the first time CSK has bowled out any opposition this year. 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Five for Daryl Mitchell, the fielder

Fizz to bowl the penultimate over. Tushar Deshpande might have had four wicket so far, but Daryl Mitchell has bagged five catches in the night. What a night the Kiwi is having, as a fielder!!! Shahbaz Ahmed departs on 7 off 5 balls.

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Can Tushar get his maiden IPL fifer?

Bhuvneshwar Kumar comes to the middle. Can the SRH seamer become Deshpande's fifth wicket? Will he get a five wicket haul? Btw, he currently has his best figures in IPL cricket - 4/27. He still has an over remaining. 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Fourth for Deshpande

Another one in the bucket hands of Mitchell as Deshpande gets his 4th of the night. In the slot for Cummins, but he fails to time it. He miscues it in the night sky towards long-on, where Daryl Mitchell takes another easy grab. 

Despande, who broke SRH's top-order with the new ball, comes for his second spell. Can he bag a five-wicket haul by cleaning up the Hyderabad tail. Anddddd, he has his fourth of the night!! Pattrick Cummins departs, Mitchell with another catch. 

Pat Cummins comes to the middle for a formality now. 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Samad falls, Shardul with a wicket

Shardul Thakur gets the reward in the form of Samad's wicket, after two chances went begging off his bowling earlier in the night. Samad throws the cherry in the air but mistimes it straight to Rizvi at long-off. SRH is crumbling away in the chase for the second time in a row.

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Pathirana has his man

After Aiden Markram, Pathirana has gotten rid of Klaasen. The Lankan pacer now has both the South Africans in his back pocket. Low full toss and Klaasen could not time it. He clears his front leg but fails to get underneath it. He hits it off the toe end and Mitchel takes another catch. Shahbaz Ahmed is the new man to the crease.

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Samad takes down Pathirana

Abdul Samad showcases his ray of strokes. He smashes a good length delivery into the stands over long-on. An effortless shot from the SRH finisher but it seems he has taken too long to unleash himself in Chennai. But, Klaasen loose his breathe from the other end. 

And we are back now for a three-minute halt. Just for a single ball as the umpire signals for timeout. With five overs to go in the chase, SRH needs 104 runs from here.

CSK vs SRH Live Score: The captain has got hit

Oh dear! Gaikwad is in pain. His right thumb is strapped, and he got hit around the same area while collecting the ball. The physio enters the field. We will have a pause in the play. 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Jadeja to bowl out

Just four singles off the last over as Jadeja ends his night with the ball with a figure of 1 for 22. Now, SRH need 107 runs in 36 balls. But with Klaasen in the middle anything can happen. Anything!

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Mahi drops a chance

Samad survives for the second time in the over. Shardul induces an outside edge, the batter goes for the drive. The ball flies towards Dhoni, who dives to his right and gets some part of the right glove on it.

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Samad takes down Shardul Thakur

Shardul Thakur has been greeted with a cracking boundary. And the SRH finisher had his heart in the mouth for a moment as he drove the ball uppishly towards mid-off, but it fell short of Moeen Ali standing there. 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Klaasen says hold my helmet

Klaasen says he can't hold it for that long. Smashes a monstrous biggie off Ravindra Jadeja. Gets the ball in his arc, just beneath him and the spin-basher makes room and tonks it over long-off. Jadeja has been attacked for the first time in the evening.  Still just 9 runs off the over. Shardul Thakur comes to bowl the 13th over. 

Abdul Samad comes to the middle, joins Heinrich Klaasen. With 127 needed off the last nine overs, can Sunrisers Hyderabad pull off the unthinkable? 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Pathirana hits bullseye

Pace. Accuracy. Consistency. Pathirana is too good for Aiden Markram, who gets his middle stump for a toss. The Sri Lankan seamer deliveries a toe-crushing yorker on the middle stump line. Markram gets late on the shot and misses, crashes the stumps. CSK has been brilliant in this game.

Btw, Matheesha Pathirana is introduced into the attack, with SRH needing 128 off 9.2 overs. And he deliveries...

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Evergreen Thala

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Markram has to go?

A run-out check at the striker's end. Replays confirm that Markram is well inside the crease despite MSD trying to run him out with a back flip.

Heinrich Klaasen comes to the middle in SRH's 213-run chase.

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Dhoni-Jadeja removes Nitish Kumar

Jadeja gets Nitish Kumar Reddy on a nothing delivery. Jadeja drops it short, Nitish Kumar Reddy goes for the pull, but mistimes, ends up getting a top-edge. MS Dhoni, from behind the end, keeps his eyes on the ball and makes no mistake.  

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Jadeja's first over ends in a brink

A quick over from Jadeja comes to an end. Just six runs off the over. SRH need 154 runs in 78 balls. Shardul Thakur to bowl the next one.

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Hyderbad need some stitching

After Deshpande's attack, SRH has got Aiden Markram and Nitish Kumar Reddy in the middle. They are 52-3 after six overs in a chase of 213 runs, they need some rejuvenation from this duo but runs have to come on a rapid pace. 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: SRH's ship sink deeper... Sharma's gone!

If you are one of those who have questioned Tushar Deshpande then you need to witness this. The CSK pacer breathing fire in Chennai. Short of a length ball, Abhishek Sharma takes the bait and slashes hard but it flies straight to Mitchell at deep point who takes his second catch of the night to complete the dismissal. SRH is three down and Deshpande Has All 3 Wickets!!

CSK vs SRH Live Score: No hat-trick for Tushar Deshpande

Markram denies Despande's hat-trick. The CSK man bowls a hard length delivery around off-stump. Hits Markram awkwardly on his blade as he gets a leading edge towards covers for a single. But CSK's on top.!

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Markram with back-to-back fours

Back-to-back boundaries for Markram and he is off to an aggressive start! First he punches through cover point to open his account with a boundary, and then slashes hard at it and gets the ball to fly over the short third region and go bouncing away into the ropes.

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Despande has 2-in-2

Anmolpreet Singh subsitutes T Natarajan! And, a GOLDEN DUCK FOR THE IMPACT PLAYER. Tushar Deshpande will be on a hat-trick in the next over. Anmolpreet goes for a clip across the line but gets a big leading edge to lob up in the air and fall into Moeen's safe hands at cover. SRH is two down.

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Despande deliveries, Head handled!

Consecutive failures for Head while chasing! Deshpande is pumped up and so is the crowd, who understand the importance of the Australian's dismissal. Head miscues his shot over covers as it falls at deep cover point, where Mitchell has come to take a good catch and send Head back to the dugout. Maiden blood drawn by Tushar Deshpande!!

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Head And SRH Are Underway In Typical Crazy Fashion!

Head sees the room on the very first ball and slaps it in the gap between point and cover-point for a boundary. Ominous Signs For CSK!

CSK vs SRH Live Score: We Are Back For The Run-Chase!

The dynamic duo of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head are in the middle and Deepak Chahar too is ready with the new ball. Let's go....

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Dube with finishing touch

Dube with a sixer on the penultimate delivery of the innings. Low full-toss, angling in between middle and leg, Dube swings it high and over deep mid-wicket for half-a-dozen runs. And they end with a single as CSK sum up 212/3.

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Enters THALA

Anbuden departs erupted as THALA MS DHONI enters his den. And, the crowd witnessed what they wanted to. MSD starts off his innings with a boundary. 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: HEARTBREAK FOR GAIKWAD 💔 💔

No century for Ruturaj Gaikwad! He departs on 98. Nattu denies Gaikwad a back-to-back hundreds. The CSK captain seems heart-broken as he missed on a well-deserved century. But gets a massive reception with MS Dhoni walking down the stairs to bat next. 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Run-out chance goes begging, Kavya Maran gets frustrated

Uh-oh, that's a poor throw from the fielder at cover point, wide of Undakat at the bowler's end and he cannot back it up, Ruturaj gets an extra run in his quest for a century. Even the SRH owner Kavya Maran could hold her emotions as he shouts in agony.

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Cummins been taken to cleaners!!!

SIX-WIDE-FOUR. How can't you not take Shivam Dube to the T20 World Cup? Taking on the SRH captain with his sheer pace. The southpaw slaps it over Cummins' head for a maximum. Dube swings it to the left of long-on for a boundary this time. 16 runs off the over, CSK making onroads to get to 220 runs at least. 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Dube isn't dubious at all!

17 runs off it. Nattu goes the journey. Two huge sixers in the over. Pure power from the power-hitter. First, Dube clears the front leg, swings it high and over the mentioned position for half-a-dozen runs. And the lofts a fuller ball over deep extra cover for another gigantic one. 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Back-to-back fours for Rutu

Skipper vs skipper, and the CSK captain wins it. Consecutive boundaries to close out the over. Cummins first misses a yorker and Rutu pounces onto to it with a late dab, then he gets a shorter one which gets pulled away for a boundary. 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: 150's up for Chennai!

150 is now up for the home side. A perfect platform for the middle order to unleash the beast mode with Thala, Jadeja and Moeen Ali yet to open. 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Gaikwad belts Bhuvi

Six, Four And Many More To Follow!! Ruturaj Gaikwad is making the ball disappear to all parts. The CSK skipper pulls it over deep square leg for a maximum. Bhuvi bowls a fuller one, and Gaikwad presents the full face of the bat, lofts it over the bowler's head for a boundary. 14 runs off the 15th over, CSK is just two runs shy of 150. 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Gaikwad denies to kneel

Gaikwad continues the carnage at the other end. He shuffles across, gets inside its line and helps it on its way, pulling it over fine leg. 11 runs and Mitchell's wicket off the over. Gaikwad is at 68* after 39 balls.

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Mitchell departs after 50

End of a fine knock by Mitchell! He asks the umpires if they're checking for the waist height no-ball. They deny and the batter has to walk back. High full toss angling into the stumps. Mitchell is deep in the crease and whacks it across the line, mistiming the slog towards deep mid-wicket, Nitish Kumar Reddy takes a good catch. Unadkat breaks the 107-run stand.

CSK vs SRH Live Score: 200 on the cards for Chennai?

We are back. The Gaikwad-Mitchell stand is already over 100-run mark, with CSK at 125 after 13 overs. With nine wickets in hand and seven overs to go, Chennai would look to go well beyond 200. And, I have cursed CSK here. Mitchell's gone!

Strategic timeout taken!

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Darling Daryl's 'Daring 50

Fifty off just 23 balls!!! The Kiwi scoops the Australian Pat Cummins over to third man for a boundary to get to 49 and then tapped towards deep square leg for a single. A grand 50 as he pumps his chest. He has played the perfect foil to his skipper and CSK look on course for a big total here!

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Chennai stop looking to stop

Shahbaz getting the hammering now. Mitchell tonks two boundaries off his first two deliveries. Sweeps a bad ball down to fine leg but going down the ground. In his typical fashion, goes to the pitch of the ball and drills a boundary over Ahmed. 14 runs off the over in the end. 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: 100 up for Chennai

Cummins brought back Natarajan to the attack and the BlackCaps batter smashes a boundary off the left-armer. Mitchell hops and doesn't try to play it along the ground. Just uses the pace and bounce of Nattu to deliberately cut it over backward point for a boundary. 100 up for the home team!

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Unadkat's back, Mitchell goes downtown

Drilled downtown, Daryl Mitchell is showing his class. In the hitting arc of the Kiwi, who goes past the bowler. He gets onto the front foot and smacks it straight past Unadkat for a cracking boundary. The bowler makes a great comeback after that. Just 10 runs off it. 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: 50 for Rutu Gaikwad

CSK captain leads the charge from the very front. A 27-ball fifty for Ruturaj Gaikwad!!! He pulls away Pat Cummins for an authoritative biggie into the stands off deep mid wicket. The AnbuDen roars as the skipper brings up a sizzling half-century!

Gaikwad brings up his 50 with a six (x.com)

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Madness unleashed vs Cummins

Pat Cummins, the SRH captain, comes to the attack. And Daryl Mitchell tells him who the real boss is. Shows the sticker of his blade as he times a maximum over Cummin's head. The Kiwi nails the lofted off-drive over long-off for a maximum of 80 m. Holds his shape after a proper execution of the classy stroke!

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Physio is out!

Gaikwad's hurt. The CSK skipper was struck on his right hand. He hit the ball in the gap towards deep point, but the throw from the fielder hit Gaikwad. He is down in pain and Mitchell has a look at him before the CSK physio sprints into the middle.

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Thala's prep for the game!

Do you know Thala prepped for this SRH game? He was carefully playing football with with CSK's young-guns. Would the Chennai see another vintage MSD classic tonight? But, right now it is Ruturaj Gaikwad, who is making the Hyderabad bowlers pay.

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Now, Bhuvi gets the bashing

Hattricks of fours against Bhuvi. Mitchell starts the show with a shaky four, and then Gaikwad takes the attack to a different level. Times two back to back boundaries through the offside. Bhuvneshwar Kumar goes for 15 in his third over. CSK are finding their feet now in the innings. T Natarajan is into the attack.

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Gaikwad pours his class...

Cummins brings in his left-arm spinner. Wily Shahbaz Ahmed comes to the attack after catching Rahane at deep mid. Bowls first three deliveries well, but the CSK captain goes after him. He cuts him to deep point for a four before cover driving for another one. 11 runs off Shahbaz's first over. 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Rahane done & dusted

Rahane perishes trying to tonk Bhuvi. The pressure was building on the Mumbaikar and the experienced pacer makes an inroad. The CSK opener looks to up the scoring rate with a big heave, but he ends up mistiming it high in the air, and it falls safely into the hands at deep mid-wicket. CSK lose its first, Daryl Mitchell comes to bat.

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Rahane breaks his shackles

Bhuvi gets the hammering!  It's Rahane's turn to pick up a boundary! The veteran batter comes down the track and whips it over fine leg to add 4 runs to his tally. Oh, did I write too early? Bhuvi bird doesn't let Rahane chirp too long!

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Nitish Reddy compliments Bhuvi

Just 8 runs off the over. Nitish Reddy compliments Bhuvneshwar Kumar from the other end. But bowls a loosener on the last delivery. Gaikwad gets a shorter one into his body, he pulls it over mid-wicket and sends the ball crashing into the ropes to register the first boundary of this game!

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Tidy as usual from Bhuvi

Bhuvneshwar Kumar starts off with a brilliant over. Bowls a tidy over as he gets swing with the new ball. Just 4 runs off the first over as Rahane-Gaikwad still finding their feet in Chennai. Nitish Kumar Reddy will bowl from the other end. 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Game time in Chennai!

It's time!!! The two umpires are heading onto the fielders, followed by the players. Rahane-Gaikwad stride out, so does Pat Cummins' Orange Army. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to bowl first up. 

Readers, are you ready for another cracker of a game?? We are!! 

Arjun: Ruturaj Gaikwad will open the batting with Ajinkya Rahane in a while. CSK's top-order hasn't been firing of late, and that has to change. Against a team like SRH, Chennai would need something over 200-210 runs, if they want to beat them like RCB did in the last game. Anything below than that won't be save against Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen & co.

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Playing XIs

Sunrisers Hyderabad Playing XI: Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Pat Cummins (c), Jaydev Unadkat, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan

SRH has won the toss and they will bowl first in Chennai. 

CSK vs SRH Live Score: Pitch Report

We have seen a few aberrations this season, in terms of the scores and strike rates of the batters and the economy rate has been scoring. We see traditionally success favours the team batting first, but not this season. 3 times the teams chasing have won and when you come to Chepauk, you expect spinners to play a key role but not this season, only 9 wickets for them so far.

This pitch produces the greatest degree of turn here, 2.4 compared to 1.8 on other surfaces here, that will be of some assistance the spinners and the slower balls but there are still runs on offer. Think CSK will add one more spinner but the real conundrum is what will you do at the toss.

Arjun: RCB's batting is hammering GT left, right and centre as Will Jacks and Virat Kohli are making a mockery of the bowling in the 201-run chase. For the contest, RCB is at 190/1 in 15.4 overs, needing just 7 runs to win. And they have won!!! Will Jacks slams a jaw-dropping century as RCB rules at Ahmedabad.
