Despite lightning lights, in particular Dewald Brevis (42 OFF 25) and Ayush Mhatre (30 out of 19), CSK continued to lose counters at regular intervals.
Coming to continue a total of 155, SRH crossed the finish brand with eight bullets to lose, fueled by a stable 44 of Ishan Kishan and a late Kamindu Mandis (32 steps outside 18).
Heinrich Klaanse cut with seven, while Travis Head (19) provided a brief spark at the top.
Although CSK quisters, in particular Noor Ahmad (2/22) and Ravira will Jadeja (1/16), kept things tight, SRH managed to make the prosecution a late momentum.
It was a sweetness night for the fans of Chennai, because their Dhoni icon reached a historic stage, but the team weakened under pressure, defeated by the assault of the relentless rhythm of SRH led by Harshal Patel.
