After the match, SRH player Jaydev Unadkat talked about their plan. He said being unpredictable in bowling is important. Unadkat also mentioned how they adjusted to the pitch conditions which helped them win.

“I think from what we have seen so far both the wickets where the slow balls were sticking into the pitch and It’s about adapting to the conditions. I think the conditions were suitable for those sorts of deliveries… as a bowler, you have got to be unpredictable in terms of lines and pace,” he said after the match.

SRH holds the hand of strategic decision

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) made a strategic decision to bowl first after winning the toss. Despite Chennai Super Kings (CSK) getting off to a strong start with their batting, SRH managed to turn the tide by taking some crucial wickets. This restricted CSK to a total of 165/5 runs, a commendable effort considering the initial momentum CSK had gained.

When it was SRH’s turn to bat, they started their innings confidently, thanks to a solid partnership between Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma.

Additionally, Aiden Markram’s brilliant innings further bolstered SRH’s position, ensuring they chased down the target comfortably and secured the victory with ease.

The partnership is on point

This crucial win has propelled Sunrisers Hyderabad to the fifth position in the IPL 2024 rankings. With two wins out of four matches played so far, SRH is steadily climbing up the ladder. On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings remains in the third position, primarily due to their superior run rate despite facing defeat in this particular match.

“In the bowling we felt it’s a bit slow wicket. We knew if we take the powerplay on, we can go with the flow after that. We had a chance to prepare well before this IPL. Big scores do matter (individual scores), but I went with the flow today. Special thanks to Yuvi paaji, Brian Lara and my dad for this,” Abhishek said.
