CSK vs SRH IPL Live Score, Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad was named the Player of the Match for his match-winning knock against SRH. The CSK opener smashed 54 off 98 balls as CSK posted 212-3 in 20 overs. “Never know what par score is. That was one area - not getting wickets in powerplay. That's the only way it can put the opposition on the back foot. Deshpande is bowling really well. His hard work is paying off. Special mention to Jaddu as well. In these wet conditions to go for 22 runs, that was the match-turning spell. I'm not vocal. Can't tell seniors in the dressing room what to do. You have to take the back seat and let them do their job,” Gaikwad said after the match. 

CSK vs SRH IPL Live Score, Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Pacer Tushar Deshpande sparked a top-order collapse in the powerplay.

Deshpande recorded his career-best figures in CSK's 78-run win over SRH at Chepauk. 

“When we came to bowl, the only plan was to have patience against SRH who are quite aggressive in the powerplay and that paid dividends for us. Bowling that length in the powerplay is crucial, even if I get hit, I always challenge the batter to hit that length again and it worked for me today. The ground was soaking wet, it swung for a couple of balls and then it did not. It was a bit sticky and I thought we used the pitch well. We had a specific plan - even if they hit a good ball, we will focus on our plans and not get carried away by them,” Deshpande said after the match. 

CSK vs SRH IPL Live Score, Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Chennai Super Kings recorded their 50th win at Chepauk.

They batted well to get to 210 but with thought we were in with a chance with our batting lineup, the pitch was playing well too. We’re pretty happy with how the batting lineup is going. Everyone in that lineup has performed and won us a game at some point in the tournament. It’s definitely dewy now but it was the same in the first innings as well. We’ll bounce back quickly,” Cummins said after the match.

We're going with one extra batter, Markande misses out. We've looked to bowl first, maybe dew comes into it later in the evening," Cummins said after winning the toss.

CSK vs SRH IPL Live Score, Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: The Chepauk pitch has produced the greatest degree of turn (2.4 degrees) as compared (1.8 degrees) compared to the other pitches.

There might be significant dew later in the evening. 

"Slightly shorter on one side but it shouldn't make much of a difference. Down the ground, the shots need to be well timed. It looks a bit dry. Some aberrations here, traditionally teams that have batted first have succeeded but not this season. Spinners haven't had a significant part in this season either as has been the case previously. It looks very dry, there's a mosaic underlay and there isn't really a sheen that you have come to expect in this year's IPL. Same surface that was used in that game against GT where CSK scored over 200 runs," Anjum Chopra and Samuel Badree said in their pitch report.

CSK vs SRH IPL Live Score, Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Chennai Super Kings batting coach Michael Hussey said that the dew has been challenging for the bowlers at the Chepauk. With CSK having quality spinners in their lineup, Hussey admitted that the conditions have also been friendly for the bowlers. “The other night, the spinners found it very difficult to hold the ball, and they couldn’t get spin on it. The ball was skidding nicely onto the bat, which made it really challenging,” Hussey said. “But again, there is no excuse it is pretty much the same for both teams, and we have to deal with it as best as we can,” he added.

CSK vs SRH IPL Live Score, Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Chennai Super Kings batting coach Michael Hussey credited Ravindra Jadeja for adapting to his new role of being CSK's No.4 batter in the IPL. The former CSK skipper has enjoyed mixed success in his new role. "He is playing a different role (batting at number four). He has been coming in very late in the last few years. He has done a good job so far at adapting to the situation and playing accordingly," Hussey said. "He is in a good frame of mind, hitting the ball well in the nets, and there is no concern. He played a quick innings in Lucknow, and his strength is being able to work the ball around the gaps, use his pace and run between the wickets, picking the right time to attack the right bowlers."

CSK vs SRH IPL Live Score, Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Legendary Sri Lankan cricketer Muttiah Muralitharan was asked about the recent non-selection of premier pacer Umran Malik. The strategic coach of the SRH opined that Umran has to change his bowling to get back in the mix. The spin-bowling icon also said that Umran still lacks experience. 

"Umran is doing well. He is still young and is not that experienced. He had a great season with us when nobody knew him. When bowlers come in fresh to bowl at that pace, it is a challenge for the batters before they get used to it. That's what happened to him. He has to change his bowling and learn how to counter-attack them, and that's what he is learning and training with us. When he is ready, he will have his chances," Muralitharan said.
