Sunrisers Hyderabad won against Chennai Super Kings by 5 wickets on Friday in an IPL 2025 match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. This victory marked a special moment for Pat Cummins, making him the first captain to lead SRH to a win over CSK at this venue.
This season, CSK faced a few surprising losses, including this one to SRH, which is their first ever in Chennai against them. After this win, SRH has three victories under their belt and is now sitting in 8th place on the points table with 6 points from nine matches. If they can win their remaining games by a good margin, they could still have a shot at making the playoffs.
Kamindu Mendis from Sri Lanka and Indian bowler Harshal Patel were key players in making this win happen. Harshal took 4 wickets for 28 runs in his four overs, while Mendis scored 32 runs off 22 balls and grabbed a wicket for 26 runs in three overs. He also made a fantastic catch of Dewald Brevis, who was the top scorer for CSK on his IPL debut.
For CSK, Ishan Kishan contributed with 44 runs off 34 balls, but other key players like Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, and Heinrich Klaasen didn’t score much. Abhishek went out for a duck, Head made 19 with four boundaries, and Jadeja dismissed Klaasen for just 7 runs.
