In the sole encounter during the 2023 season between Chennai and Hyderabad, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) emerged victorious against the Sunsiers Hyderbad (SRH) with an all-round performance. 

Ravindra Jadeja showcased exceptional bowling skills, while Devon Conway anchored the innings with steady batting. 

CSK secured a convincing win at home by defeating SRH by 7 wickets. Ravindra Jadeja's outstanding contribution earned him the well-deserved Man of the Match.

In the match at Chepauk, CSK won the toss and opted to field first, allowing Aiden Markram's SRH to bat first. However, the sluggish Chennai track posed challenges for SRH's batters right from the outset. 

Despite a solid performance by opener Abhishek Sharma, Harry Brook struggled to capitalize on the powerplay overs. Rahul Tripathi who came at 3 also faced difficulties in accelerating his innings. 

The Chennai bowlers capitalized on their knowledge of the conditions, delivering an exceptional performance that prevented SRH's batters from finding their rhythm and playing their natural game.

 Disappointingly for SRH, key players Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen too failed, leading to a restricted total of just 134/7 for SRH.


CSK vs SRH: Game changer Jaddu

Ravindra Jadeja emerged as the game-changer for CSK, claiming three crucial wickets that broke the backbone of SRH's batting lineup. 

Supported by Maheesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana, and Akash Singh, Jadeja orchestrated a formidable bowling attack, consistently taking wickets and bowling tight overs.

Chasing of 135, CSK's opening duo, Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad, dominated with an 87-run partnership. Gaikwad scored 35 runs while Conway's unbeaten 87 off 57 balls ensured CSK's comfortable 7 wicket victory.
