Following their five-wicket victory against Chennai Super Kings on Friday, the Sunrisers Hyderabad squad is off to the Maldives for a little getaway.

Sunrisers' triumph also broke their winless record over Chennai Super Kings in Chepauk. Sunrisers Hyderabad's next match is against Gujarat Titans on May 2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Sunrisers, last year's runners-up, are now in ninth place after three wins in nine matches. To qualify for the playoffs, the Pat Cummins-led team cannot afford any stumbles and must win their next five games in a row.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad social media team shared a 35-second video of the players enjoying their break in the Maldives.

Sunrisers Hyderabad coach Daniel Vettori stated that working around their batting lineup and getting the matchups perfect with Kamindu Mendis in the mix helped the club beat Chennai Super Kings.

"That's why the likes of Kamindu came into the team. That's why there was the shuffle in the batting order, putting Heinrich Klaasen up and Nitish Kumar Reddy down, to give us a more balanced approach, particularly in a chase," he said.

"The initial plan revolved around left-right-hand combinations, partly to counter Noor Ahmad and Ravindra Jadeja and how good they are through those middle stages. A lot of the logic behind picking him (Mendis) was specific to this ground. We knew what sort of surface we'd encounter, and having a batsman who can play all types of spin, be aggressive, and hit a multitude of shots was the starting point," he added.
