IPL 2025: Mendis-Reddy Hold Nerves As SRH Defeat CSK For Maiden Win At Chepauk
Chennai Super King: Despite stumbling in their chase as they fell to 106/5, Kamindu Mendis (32*) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (19*) helped Sunrisers Hyderabad register a gritty five-wicket victory over Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here on Friday. With the win, SRH jumped past Rajasthan Royals in the points table to reach seventh place in the table, whereas Chennai Super Kings stand virtually eliminated, having won only two of their nine games.
In their chase of 155, SRH were handed an early blow as Abhishek Sharma (0) was sent back to the pavilion on the second ball of the innings by Shardul Thakur. Travis Head (19) once again struggled to get going in his natural aggressive self before being bowled over by Anshul Kamboj. Heinrich Klassen further added to their troubles when he tried to launch one over long-on but could only find Deepak Hooda in the deep.
Ishan Kishan (44) remained strong from the other end and was joined by Aniket Verma for a crucial 36-run stand. The duo took on the bowling attack, which included two sixes by the latter, whilst Kishan kept chipping away at the total.
