IPL 2021: WATCH- Faf du Plessis flies near the boundary and takes an amazing catch
David Warner won the toss and decided to bat first. SRH somehow managed 171/3 in 20 overs despite half-centuries from David Warner (57) and Manish Pandey (61) and their 106-run partnership. It was only due to Kane Williamson’s 26* in 10 balls and Kedar Jadhav’s 12* in 4 balls, they managed to get to that total.
Lungi Ngidi picked two wickets for CSK.
In reply, the CSK openers Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad attacked the bowlers and added 129 runs in 13 overs. Ruturaj made 75 in 44 balls with 12 fours and Faf made 56 with 6 fours and 1 six. Moeen Ali made 15, while Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja finished the match in the 19th over with 7 wickets in hand.
With this win, CSK went back to the top of the IPL 2021 points table and SRH continue to hold the wooden spoon at the 8th spot.
The cricket fraternity was praiseful of the CSK’s clinical chase and emphatic win and lauded the team on Twitter.
