It was dull at the start and then dull in the middle but mostly fans were on their edge of the seats in death overs. After Ambati Rayudu’s Baahubali innings and Suresh Raina’s half-century the match had a lot in store for the fans. Three quick wickets for Deepak Chahar and everyone started writing Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) off. Skipper Kane Williamson carried his team on the back and with the help of fireworks from Yusuf Pathan they got close. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) almost would have got a heart attack in the last over as Rashid Khan gave them a scare but it turned out to be an entertainer in the end.
Here are the live social updates of SRH vs CSK –
19:35 IST Unfortunately that did not happen. CSK beat SRH by 4 runs.
Can Rashid do a DK here????

18:07 IST CSK are performing well. Deepak Chahar has taken two early wickets but this guy is hellbent on trolling them.
LOL Chahar copying Bravo’s dance. It was like Murali Vijay copying Griezmann’s dance in a test match against Sri Lanka. As horrible as Fufa jee’s Nagin dance. #SRHvCSK

Still feel SRH should have batted first having won the toss. Anything over 150 will make things difficult for them #SRHvCSK

15:58 IST SRH fans right now as Alex Hales gets ignored and Billy Stanlake makes it into the team.

15:41 IST This guy is seriously pissed for selecting Faf du Plessis for injured Imran Tahir. This guy wanted a bowler. What’s David Willey doing in the team guys? Get him in.
CSK Picks Faf for Tahir!!!
Bizaare selection considering A batsman is replacing A bowler.
With SRH Facing chahar , Thakur & Karn later on__They’ll fancy their Chances of winning this while chasing.

15:35 IST Playing XIs:
SRH: Wriddhiman Saha(w), Kane Williamson(c), Yusuf Pathan, Manish Pandey, Deepak Hooda, Shakib Al Hasan, Ricky Bhui, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rashid Khan, Billy Stanlake, Siddarth Kaul
CSK: Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Suresh Raina, Faf du Plessis, MS Dhoni(w/c), Sam Billings, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Deepak Chahar, Karn Sharma, Shardul Thakur
15:30 IST Kane Williamson wins the toss and elects to bowl first.
On the other hand, SRH physios must be trying hard to get Shikhar Dhawan fit before the match. In-form opening batsman Dhawan might get replaced by English opener Alex Hales if he does not get fit before the game. Hales is former SRH skipper David Warner’s replacement SRH team and expectations will be high if he joins the squad.
Both skippers MS Dhoni and Kane Williamson will be looking for a big win as it will take them to the top of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 points table.
