Riding on Shikhar Dhawan (79 runs off 49 balls) and skipper Kane Williamson’s fifty, SRH scored 179 runs for 4 wickets in their allotted 20 over in the 46th match of the 11th season of Indian Premier League (IPL) between MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings and SunRisers Hyderabad at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune, on Sunday.
After winning the toss, MS Dhoni invited Kane Williamson’s side to bat and somehow was successful in executing their plan as SRH opener Alex Hales (2 runs off 9 balls) departed early.
Following Alex departure, skipper Kane Williamson joined Shikhar Dhawan at the crease and added 123 runs for the second wicket.

However, Dwayne Bravo brought Chennai back into the game by sending Shikhar Dhawan back to the stands and soon Williamson (51 runs off 39 balls) followed.
With back-to-back wickets in two balls, SRH was on the back foot when Manish Pandey and Deepak Hooda took the charge of Hyderabad’s innings in the 17th over. And taking advantage of the pressure, Shardul Thakur send Manish Pandey back to the stands at the score of five runs.
Meanwhile, Deepak Hooda scored 21 runs 11 balls with a strike rate of 190.91.
From CSK camp, Shardul Thakur bagged two wickets. Dwayne Bravo and Deepak Chahar took one wicket each.
