Highlights, Tata IPL 2022 SRH vs CSK, Full Cricket Score: CSK hand SRH 13-run loss in high-scoring contest

Some areas for CSK to ponder upon going into their next assignment

Chennai get a win but they know they could have done a lot better with all three bat, ball, field. Not being harsh but some definite areas to improve on. Conway, Gaikwad set it up well and MC finished with four to close it out in time.

After 20 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 189/6 ( Nicholas Pooran (W) 64 , Marco Jansen 0)

Choudhary bowls the final over. Pooran starts off with a six and a four to bring up his half-century in just 29 deliveries. Pooran continues to produce the fireworks as he smacks back-to-back sixes in the fourth and fifth deliveries, and can only collect a single off the final delivery, finishing unbeaten on 64.

CSK make a winning comeback upon MS Dhoni’s return as leader as they hand SRH a 13-run loss to collect their third win of the season!

FOUR! Pooran steers a full delivery from Choudhary over backward point to complete a 29-ball half-century, even if it will likely go in vain in the end. SRH 175/6; need 28 off 4

After 19 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 165/6 ( Nicholas Pooran (W) 41 , Marco Jansen 0)

What should’ve been a quiet over for Pretorius instead turns out to be a big one with Pooran dropped twice off his bowling — at deep square leg and long off in the first and third balls. The West Indian rubs salt on Pretorius’ wounds by collecting a couple of boundaries in the over. CSK decide to go upstairs after an LBW shout is turned down in the final delivery, and end up wasting it as the ball is found to be missing leg. 12 off the over. SRH need 38 off 6.

After 18 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 153/6 ( Nicholas Pooran (W) 31 , Marco Jansen 0)

Mukesh Choudhary’s on a hat-trick at the start of this over. Ends up conceding a four in the hat-trick ball though as Singh goes for a lofted drive over mid off. Choudhary gets his third wicket in the fourth delivery as Singh is caught-behind for 15. He goes for the review, but to no avail as UltraEdge confirms the nick. Sundar gets off the mark right away with a brace, before he becomes Choudhary’s fourth victim of the evening as he gets his off stump rattled after missing a scoop. Six runs and two wickets off Choudhary’s third, and a victory is pretty much out of Sunrisers’ grasp now, with 50 left to be scored in 2 overs.

OUT! Choudhary has a four-fer now, as Washington Sundar misses completely while looking to scoop the ball towards fine leg, getting his off stump rattled in the end. What an evening this has turned out to be for the young bowler! SRH 151/6

Sundar b Choudhary 2(2)

OUT! Choudhary gets his third wicket as Shashank Singh is caught-behind for 15 off a short-of-length delivery. Singh goes for the review right away, and ends up burning it with UltraEdge confirming a nick. SRH 151/5

Singh c Dhoni b Choudhary 15(14)

After 17 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 147/4 ( Nicholas Pooran (W) 31 , Shashank Singh 11)

SIX! Struck from the toe end of the bat, but Pooran somehow manages to get enough power on the shot for the ball to sail over the long on fence off Pretorius. The South African all-rounder keeps it tidy in the remaining deliveries, conceding four singles and a brace. 12 off the over. SRH need 56 off 18. They need a massive over from hereon if they are to stay in the hunt.

After 16 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 135/4 ( Nicholas Pooran (W) 23 , Shashank Singh 7)

Excellent over from Theekshana, with just four singles coming off it, as the required rate for the Sunrisers, who need 68 off 24, shoots up to 17. The Sri Lankan signs off with 4-0-27-0, as the umpire points towards his watch to signal the second timeout of the innings.

After 15 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 131/4 ( Nicholas Pooran (W) 21 , Shashank Singh 5)

Pretorius strikes gold in this over as he traps Williamson LBW, with the SRH skipper falling just three short of what would’ve been a well-deserved half-century. Shashank Singh joins Pooran at the centre. Six runs and a wicket from Pretorius’ 2nd, with SRH needing 72 more to win off 30.

OUT! Big blow to the Sunrisers’ hopes as Kane Williamson is trapped leg-before by Pretorius, falling just three short of his half-century! Looks to slog the ball over the midwicket region, but misses the ball completely in the end and is struck on the hip right in front of off and middle. Decides to review it, and ends up burning it as the ball is shown to be hitting the middle of middle. SRH 126/4

Williamson LBW Pretorius 47(37)

After 14 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 125/3 ( Kane Williamson (C) 47 , Nicholas Pooran (W) 20)

Theekshana into his third over. SIX! Pooran reverse sweeps the ball into the stands beyond the backward point fence in the second delivery of this over! That could be a solid contender for the shot of the day. Williamson, meanwhile, inches closer to his half-century, and is batting on 47 at the end of the over. SRH need 78 more to win off 36.

After 13 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 113/3 ( Kane Williamson (C) 45 , Nicholas Pooran (W) 10)

Dwaine Pretorius introduced now in Jadeja’s place. SIX! Williamson charges down the track and goes for a one-handed slog over cow corner in the third delivery. 11 off the over with a single coming off each delivery besides the one that fetches KW the maximum. SRH need 90 off 42.

After 12 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 102/3 ( Kane Williamson (C) 36 , Nicholas Pooran (W) 8)

Theekshana replaces Santner, and bowls out a tidy second over as just five runs are collected by the Sunrisers, including a brace to Williamson in the second delivery. The required rate has gone past 12 now with SRH needing 101 off 48.

After 11 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 97/3 ( Kane Williamson (C) 32 , Nicholas Pooran (W) 8)

SIX! Pooran rocks back and pulls the ball over the midwicket fence at the start of Jadeja’s third over. The left-arm spinner though, keeps things tidy for the remainder of the over, conceding just two singles off the remaining five deliveries. SRH need 106 off 54.

After 10 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 89/3 ( Kane Williamson (C) 31 , Nicholas Pooran (W) 1)

Just when the pressure was starting to build on the Sunrisers with the lack of boundaries, Markram smacks consecutive sixes off Santner to break the shackles, smashing both over the bowler’s head. Tries to make it three in a row, but ends up offering Jadeja a sitter at deep midwicket after a mishit. Nicholas Pooran is the new man in and he gets off the mark right away with a single. 14 runs and a wicket from the over. SRH need another 114 to win off 60 with seven wickets in hand.

OUT! Markram had collected a six off each of the last two deliveries, and was perhaps looking to complete a hat-trick of maximums when he went for a wild slog off Santner’s bowling. Hardly times the shot, and ends up offering Jadeja the easiest of catches at deep midwicket. SRH 88/3

Markram c Jadeja b Santner 17(10)

After 9 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 75/2 ( Kane Williamson (C) 30 , Aiden Markram 5)

Another dismissal scare for Williamson off Jadeja’s bowling, this time the SRH skipper chipping the ball in the bowler’s direction though the ball falls well short of Jaddu. Excellent over from the left-arm spinner with just three coming off it.

After 8 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 72/2 ( Kane Williamson (C) 28 , Aiden Markram 4)

Santner brought back in place of Choudhary, who was on a hat-trick at the end of the sixth over. 10 from the over, including a boundary to Williamson in the third ball. SRH need another 131 off 72 at the end of this over. New batter Aiden Markram, meanwhile, is off to a steady start and is batting on 4 off as many deliveries.

After 7 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 62/2 ( Kane Williamson (C) 20 , Aiden Markram 2)

Ravindra Jadeja introduced on the other side of the timeout. Big opportunity goes missing in the second delivery as Dhoni puts down a chance after an outside edge off Williamson’s blade. Four singles collected from the over.

After 6 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 58/2 ( Kane Williamson (C) 18 , )

Choudhary had dropped Sharma on 20 earlier, but more than makes up for it by removing the opener as well as Tripathi off successive balls in the final over of the powerplay. Six runs and two wickets from the over, with SRH reaching 58/2 at the time of the umpire signalling the first timeout of the innings.

OUT! Two-in-two for Mukesh Choudhary as he gets rid of Rahul Tripathi right after removing a set Abhishek Sharma. Tripathi departs for a golden duck after steering the ball straight into Simarjeet’s hands at short third man. SRH 58/2

Tripathi c Singh b Choudhary 0(1)

OUT! Mukesh Choudhary breaks the opening stand in the final over of powerplay as Abhishek Sharma fails to clear long on while looking for another big hit, with Dwaine Pretorius collecting a fine catch in the deep. SRH 58/1

Sharma c Pretorius b Choudhary 39(24)

After 5 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 52/0 ( Abhishek Sharma 34 , Kane Williamson (C) 17)

Maheesh Theekshana introduced in the fifth over. Single off each of the first three deliveries before Abhishek collects a brace off the fourth to bring up the fifty opening stand inside five overs. Abhishek then collects a single to rotate the strike. Six from the over, a good one from CSK’s perspective.

The fifty partnership comes up between Abhishek Sharma and Kane Williamson inside five overs, the former bringing up the milestone with a brace off Maheesh Theekshana in the fourth delivery of the fifth over. SRH 51/0

After 4 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 46/0 ( Abhishek Sharma 30 , Kane Williamson (C) 15)

Simarjeet continues. FOUR! Abhishek leans back and opens the face of his bat to send the ball flying over short third man in the third delivery. Abhishek then collects another boundary, this time nicking the ball past the keeper in the last ball. 10 off the over. SRH are going at over 11-an-over at the moment.

After 3 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 36/0 ( Abhishek Sharma 21 , Kane Williamson (C) 14)

CSK turn to spin in the third over, with Mitchell Santner replacing Choudhary, but the runs continue to flow for SRH. Abhishek collects a four in the second ball with a sweep towards fine leg before collecting the second six of the innings with a lofted drive over extra cover. What’s worse, Choudhary puts down a dolly at extra cover in the fifth ball as Abhishek gets a reprieve on 20.

After 2 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 24/0 ( Abhishek Sharma 10 , Kane Williamson (C) 13)

Simarjeet Singh, making his IPL debut today, is off to a rough start in the league as he concedes 14 off his first over. SRH skipper Williamson tees off in this over, collecting a four off the second ball before pulling the ball over the midwicket fence for a six in the free hit after Simarjeet oversteps in the fourth delivery. SRH are off to a quick start themselves, collecting 24 in the first two overs.

After 1 over,Sunrisers Hyderabad 10/0 ( Abhishek Sharma 9 , Kane Williamson (C) 1)

Choudhary keeps things tight in the first four deliveries of the first over, with just two coming off it, before getting smacked for back-to-back fours by Sharma — a lofted straight drive followed by a confident pull over midwicket. 10 from the first over.

Skipper Kane Williamson walks out to commence SRH’s chase of the mammoth 203-run target in Abhishek Sharma’s company. Mukesh Choudhary to bowl the first over for the Super Kings.

A new milestone achieved by the Super Kings today!

CSK (22) surpasses RCB for having most number of 200 or more score in the history of the IPL.

After 20 overs,Chennai Super Kings 202/2 ( Devon Conway 85 , Ravindra Jadeja 1)

Nattu bowls the final over. Conway collects a single off the first ball before Dhoni holes out to Malik at short fine to depart for 8 in the second. Jadeja walks in at No 4 and gets off the mark right away with a single. Conway then brings up the 200 for the Super Kings with back-to-back fours, before collecting a single off the last delivery. Conway remains unbeaten on 85 off 55 balls as CSK post a commanding 202/2 after being asked to bat by SRH.

OUT! Dhoni flicks a full delivery going down leg straight into the hands of the fielding standing at short fine. Departs after making a 7-ball 8. CSK 192/2

Dhoni c Malik b Natarajan 8(7)

After 19 overs,Chennai Super Kings 191/1 ( Devon Conway 75 , MS Dhoni (C) (W) 8)

Umran bowls out the penultimate over. Keeps things tidy till the fifth delivery, conceding four runs with Dhoni struggling to time the ball despite swinging his blade around. He finally connects in the last delivery, slapping the ball over extra cover for a four. One more over to go.

CSK’s highest opening stand ever!

After 18 overs,Chennai Super Kings 183/1 ( Devon Conway 74 , MS Dhoni (C) (W) 1)

Natarajan returns, with two overs left in his kitty. Gaikwad collects a brace and a single off the first two deliveries, before Conway launches the ball over long off in the third to collect his fourth six. Gaikwad, attempting to bring up the three-figure mark with a boundary, steers the ball straight into Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s hands at backward point to depart for 99 in the penultimate delivery as Natarajan breaks the marathon opening stand. MS Dhoni walks out at No 3 today, and gets off the mark right away with a single.

OUT! Ruturaj Gaikwad misses out on his first century this season by just one run! Slaps a short, wide delivery from Natarajan straight into the hands of backward point. The marathon partnership has finally been broken in the death overs. CSK 182/1

Gaikwad c Kumar b Natarajan 99(57)

After 17 overs,Chennai Super Kings 172/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 96 , Devon Conway 67)

Bhuvneshwar bowls out his final over, keeping things tidy by not conceding a single boundary. Gaikwad and Conway are forced to rotate the strike between themselves through the ones and twos. Just six from the over, with Bhuvi signing off with 0/22 from his quota.

After 16 overs,Chennai Super Kings 166/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 94 , Devon Conway 63)

Natarajan returns in the 16th, with Shashank taken off after just one over. Gaikwad collects a boundary off the first ball, and walks down the track for a pull towards the midwicket fence three balls later, collecting his sixth four in the process that also takes him into the 90s. Survives a run-out scare in the fifth delivery while pushing for a risky second. Natarajan fires a wide down the leg side in the final delivery. Another brace to Gaikwad in the last delivery. 13 from the over. The partnership’s worth 166 at the moment, the highest opening stand this season.

After 15 overs,Chennai Super Kings 153/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 83 , Devon Conway 62)

Conway gets a thick top-edge off a short ball from Jansen, the ball sailing over the long stop fence for a maximum and bringing up a 39-ball half-century for Conway. The New Zealander then collects a four and a six off consecutive deliveries later in the over to pile more misery on the left-arm seamer. Biggest over of the game so far with 20 coming off Jansen’s final over of the evening. Chennai, meanwhile, have crossed the 150-mark in the 15th over, and are looking set for 200-plus tonight.

SIX! It’s Devon Conway’s turn to bring up his half-century now! Gets a thick top-edge off a short ball from Jansen that flies over the keeper’s head and sails over the long stop fence. Brings up the milestone in just 39 deliveries, collecting five fours and two sixes along the way. CSK 139/0

After 14 overs,Chennai Super Kings 133/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 82 , Devon Conway 44)

Shashank Singh introduced in place of Umran Malik. Conway moves into the 40s with a firm cut behind point in the second delivery, collecting his fifth four in the process. Four singles and a brace collected in the over in addition to the boundary, with 10 coming from the over.

After 13 overs,Chennai Super Kings 123/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 78 , Devon Conway 38)

Bhuvneshwar returns with the Sunrisers now desperate to break the partnership. Relatively tidy over for the Sunrisers with Bhuvi conceding six off this third, including a couple of doubles to Conway. Umpire signals timeout at the end of this over.

70 runs have been scored in the last five overs. The SRH bowlers, especially Umran Malik, look clueless at the moment against an on-song Gaikwad and Conway. They desperately need a breakthrough at this stage.

After 12 overs,Chennai Super Kings 117/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 77 , Devon Conway 33)

Malik into his third over. Conway gets into the act now, bringing out a lovely lofted drive over extra cover in the second delivery. Gaikwad makes things even worse for the Jammu pacer with a four and a six off consecutive deliveries later in the over — the six coming off an effortless lofted drive over long off. 17 from the over. Malik’s conceded 40 in the three overs he’s bowled so far.

After 11 overs,Chennai Super Kings 100/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 66 , Devon Conway 29)

A single off each of the first two deliveries before Gaikwad smashes consecutive sixes off Markram, the ball sailing over long on on both occasions. Gaikwad follows the two sixes up with a single to bring up the century stand with Conway. 15 from the over, with Markram having conceded 36 from the three overs he’s bowled so far. SRH in serious trouble at the moment.

The century partnership comes up between Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway — CSK’s first century opening stand this season. Smashes Aiden Markram for consecutive sixes before collecting a single to bring up the milestone in the 11th over.

After 10 overs,Chennai Super Kings 85/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 52 , Devon Conway 28)

Conway collects a single off the first delivery before Gaikwad collects back-to-back boundaries off the next two balls to bring up his second half-century of the season. 11 off the over, with a single and a wide following the fours, as CSK reach 85/0 at the halfway stage.

FOUR! Ruturaj Gaikwad brings up his second half-century of the season, taking just 33 deliveries to get to the milestone this time. Gets a thick top-edge off a thunderbolt of a delivery from Malik measuring 154 clicks, the ball flying over the keeper’s head and running all the way to the long stop fence. CSK 83/0

After 9 overs,Chennai Super Kings 74/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 43 , Devon Conway 27)

Markram continues on the other side of the timeout. Gaikwad starts off with a single off the first delivery before Conway collects his third boundary with a sweep off a full delivery darted down leg. The Kiwi batter then decides to charge down the pitch and launch the ball over the bowler’s head, collecting his first maximum of the evening in the process. Single off each of the next three deliveries, with 14 coming from the over. Partnership now worth 74.

After 8 overs,Chennai Super Kings 60/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 41 , Devon Conway 15)

Time for the Umran Malik show! And Gaikwad decides to welcome him into the attack by charging down the track and lofting him over mid on — though not timing it quite well and collecting a brace. He then collects a four and a six off consecutive balls — slapping a short, wide ball over cover followed by a well-timed hoick over long on. Gaikwad keeps the strike with a single off the last delivery. 13 off Malik’s first over. Umpire signals timeout at the end of the over.

FOUR! Gaikwad slaps a short, wide delivery from Malik over cover to bring up the fifty-opening stand — CSK’s first this season — with Conway! CSK 53/0

After 7 overs,Chennai Super Kings 47/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 28 , Devon Conway 15)

Spin introduced after the powerplay with Aiden Markram replacing Natarajan. Conway brings out the sweep in the second delivery, guiding the ball towards the vacant long leg region to collect his second boundary of the evening. Three singles collected in the over in addition to the four.

After 6 overs,Chennai Super Kings 40/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 26 , Devon Conway 10)

SIX! A near-replay of Gaikwad’s six off Jansen in the second over, the ball once again sailing over the fine leg fence off a well-timed hook. The six brings up 1,000 runs in the IPL for the young opener, who is playing at his home ground today. Single off each of the next three deliveries followed a couple of dots. CSK collect 40 in the powerplay without losing a wicket.

After 5 overs,Chennai Super Kings 31/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 18 , Devon Conway 9)

First bowling change of the evening, with T Natarajan replacing Bhuvneshwar. Eight off the left-arm seamer’s first over, including a boundary in the penultimate ball of the over courtesy a Gaikwad pull in front of square. The 31-run stand is now CSK’s highest this season for the first wicket.

After 4 overs,Chennai Super Kings 23/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 12 , Devon Conway 8)

Jansen continues. Starts off with a couple of dots before a leg-bye is added in the third delivery. Gaikwad pulls towards the deep midwicket region in the fourth ball, getting enough time to come back for a third as Sundar fumbles while collecting the ball in front of the boundary rope. Single to Conway in the fifth followed by a dot.

After 3 overs,Chennai Super Kings 18/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 9 , Devon Conway 7)

Single collected off each of the second and third deliveries. Couple of leg byes added to the Chennai total in the fourth ball after the knuckle delivery from Bhuvneshwar brushes off Conway’s thigh pad. Conway then collects the first four of the evening with an authoritative pull through the midwicket region. He keeps the strike with a single off the last delivery.

After 2 overs,Chennai Super Kings 9/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 8 , Devon Conway 1)

SIX! Ruturaj Gaikwad collects the first maximum of the evening with a well-timed hook behind square after Marco Jansen decides to dig one short at him in the third delivery of the second over. Six off the over.

After 1 over,Chennai Super Kings 3/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 2 , Devon Conway 1)

Bhuvi starts off with the ball in hand and he’s getting some swing right away. Tidy start for the veteran Indian seamer with just three coming off the first over.

Change in CSK’s batting lineup today with Devon Conway walking out to open the innings alongside Ruturaj Gaikwad. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to open the bowling for the Sunrisers.

SRH: Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson (c), Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Shashank Singh, Washington Sundar, Marco Jansen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik, T Natarajan

CSK: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Robin Uthappa, Ambati Rayudu, Devon Conway, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (c/wk), Mitchell Santner, Simarjeet Singh, Dwaine Pretorius, Mukesh Choudhary, Maheesh Theekshana

MS Dhoni: I said last time also, you’ll definitely see me in a yellow jersey. Whether it’s this yellow jersey or some other yellow jersey. We’ve been identifying where we went wrong and what we can work on. We’ve dropped quite a few catches, and we’ve bowled a few big overs. Those are the areas we want to work on. Couple of changes. Bravo is not fit and Shivam also out. Devon Conway and Simarjeet Singh are in.

Kane Williamson: We’ve been chasing a lot, and something we’ve done and done pretty well. We’ll try and make good use of the conditions with the ball early on. It was a close game. Today’s another opportunity for us as a team. We’ve seen a lot of good signs throughout. Same team.

TOSS: Sunrisers Hyderabad win the toss, and skipper Kane Williamson opts to field

DC vs LSG

Delhi Capitals are left needing 76 to win off 42 balls with five wickets in hand, with Mohsin Khan getting the vital wicket of Rishabh Pant in the last delivery of the 13th over. Lucknow Super Giants had earlier posted a commanding 195/3 thanks primarily to the efforts of skipper KL Rahul (77) and Deepak Hooda (52).

ICYMI

Ravindra Jadeja raised many an eyebrow on Saturday by stepping down as Chennai Super Kings captain after just eight games in charge.

MS Dhoni, who has captained the ‘Yellow Army’ since the tournament’s inception in 2008 and has led them to four titles, returns as the leader and is tasked with getting the struggling Super Kings back to winning ways as they hang by a thread with just four points from eight outings.

Umran Malik will be the man to watch out for in the second game of the Sunday double-header. The J&K quick almost single-handedly won Sunrisers Hyderabad the game against Gujarat Titans with a haul of 5/25, with Gujarat ultimately pulling off a thrilling win thanks to some late fireworks from Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan. Malik though, will hope to get more support from the rest of the attack.

Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, will hope to start on a new leaf on Sunday with MS Dhoni returning as their leader following Ravindra Jadeja’s decision to step down as the captain after eight games in charge — in which his side lost six, including an eight-wicket loss at the hands of the ‘Orange Army’.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Match 46 of the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL), with Sunrisers Hyderabad taking on Chennai Super Kings at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. SRH had earlier in the season started off with back-to-back losses before collecting their first points with an eight-wicket win over CSK, who are currently facing an early exit from the playoffs race with six losses from eight games.
