CSK seemed to have heard Sakshi’s request as they wrapped up the game efficiently.

In the match, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad came close to scoring a second consecutive century as he notched 98 off 54 balls. His performance, combined with Daryl Mitchell’s crucial 52 off 32 balls and Shivam Dube’s quickfire 39 off 20 balls, helped propel CSK to a total of 212 for three.

Dhoni faced two balls and scored five runs, including a boundary off the first ball. In response, SRH struggled to find momentum in their innings. Tushar Deshpande led CSK’s bowling attack, taking three wickets with the new ball, while the middle-overs bowlers continued to apply pressure. SRH were ultimately all out for 134 in 18.5 overs.
