It was a cliffhanger of a contest between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings in Hyderabad as Chennai finally prevailed a nail-biting last over by Dwyane Bravo.
The match went right down to the last ball with CSK prevailing by 5 runs. MS Dhoni had faith in his death over specialist as Bravo brought out his best limiting Rashid Khan scoring just 14 from that over.
The match saw a very slow start from batters from both teams. While it was Ambati Rayudu (79) and Suresh Raina's (54) which helped them finish strongly on 182.
For SRH, skipper Kane Williamson scored a brilliant 84 coupled with Yusuf Pathan's powerful 45 despite of an ailing back took the game as deep as possible which saw a grandstand finish.
Twitter was buzzing as it witnessed a close encounter and was knowledgeable enough to cheer both the teams for dishing out a sporting contest.
Here is how Twitter reacted to the contest.
MS Gony, Mohit Sharma and now Deepak Chahar , @ChennaiIPL continue producing lesser known Indian seamers who make a name for themselves and make a big impact. Kudos to the scouting team #SRHvCSK

Dhoni has always backed swing bowlers. Transformed some of them into International bowlers too. Deepak Chahar is in right hands. Wish him well. #SRHvCSK #IPL

Another Nail Biting finish in the IPL. #CSK lucky to be on the winning side with the kind of deliveries they bowled in the final overs. Also goes on to show how catches can win you matches. Williamson was looking dangerous out there in the middle. #SRHvCSK
