Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Finally broke their Jinx Chepauk by beating Chennai Super Kings (CSK) In their own backyard. SRH chose Bowl and immediately validated the decision while Mohammed Shami rejected Shaik Rasheed in the first ball of the match.
Twice in two IPL 2025 Games, he came across Ayush Mhatre, 17, (30 out of 19) to inject momentum into the CSK sleeves. Raviund Jadeja directed the CSK safe before his premature dismissal. Dewald Brevis (42 out of 25) had trouble at the start but finally played a blinder. None of the remaining CSK drummers managed to face a brilliant bowling alley in the conditions of Harshal Patel (4 for 28) and Pat Cummins (2 for 21). Jaydev Unadkat also joined Bowl CSK for only 154.
The pursuit of the SRH encountered similar problems that Khaleel Ahmed removed Abhishek Sharma with the second ball. Travis Head was unusually calm, while Ishan Kishan (44 out of 34) brought stability to the sleeves. CSK’s quisors, however, did not go down without fighting. Directed by Noor Ahmad (2 for 42), CSK struck at regular intervals and maintained the racing rate through the medium letters. But Kamindu Mendis (32 * off 22) and Nitish Kumar Reddy held up hard at the end and assured that CSK slipped to their fourth consecutive home defeat.
Here are the most important figures in the game:
1 – Ayush Mhatre and Shaik Rasheed are the very first opening pair in the history of IPL, the two openers being under 21.
5 – Shaik Rasheed has become the fifth CSK striker and the first since 2015, to be rejected on the first ball of an IPL match. Patethiv Patel (2008), Subramaniam Badrinath (2009), Srikkanth Anirudha (2011) and Dwayne Smith (2015) are the others.
3 – Mohammed Shami is only the third SRH launcher to remove a counter from the first ball from an IPL match. The other two are Jagadeesan Suchith in 2022 and Bhuvnehwar Kumar in 2023.
1 – Mohammed Shami became the first bowler to remove a counter from the first ball in an IPL match four times in his career. No other launcher did it three times, while Dirk Nannes, Lasith Malingu, Trent Boult, Umesh Yadav and Bhuvnehwar Kumar reached it twice.
3 – This match was the third instance of CSK in the process of overthrowing in an IPL game in Chepauk. In each of the two previous cases, Mi was the bowling team. The CSK was rejected for 112 in 2012 and 109 in 2019 before that.
1 – This match scored the first time that SRH beat the CSK at the Ma Chidambaram stadium in Chennai in an IPL match.
4 – Four is the most joint number of matches that CSK lost at home in a single IPL season. CSK also lost four games in Chepauk in 2008 and 2012. By the way, they finished finalists during these two seasons.
