CSK thump Sunrisers Hyderabad in Chennai: 

Chennai Super Kings were at their formidable best in Sunday’s match as they posted 212/3 in their 20 overs, with skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad (98 off 54 balls) leading from the front and Daryl Mitchell returning to form with a half-century. Shivam Dube (39 off 20 balls) also played a gem of an innings at the end to take CSK past the 200-run mark.

On the bowling front, Tushar Deshpande was outstanding with the ball, taking 4 wickets for 27 runs in his 3 overs, while Mustafizur Rahman and Matheesha Pathirana took 2 wickets apiece. Such was the dominance of the CSK bowlers that none of the SRH batsmen, barring Aiden Markram (32 off 26 balls), managed to cross the 30-run mark as the Hyderabad-based franchise were all out in 18.5 overs.
