Let’s take a look at some of the highlights from the match:

1. Shivam Dube continues to flex his muscles with brutal strokeplay

The southpaw walked in to bat after CSK openers failed to make the full use of the powerplay with the score on 54/1 after 7.1 overs. Dube wasted no time in getting set and unleashed his wrath on the bowlers right from the word go. The 30-year-old played a quick-fire knock of 45 (24) with the help of two fours and four sixes to push the run rate over 8.5.

2. Pat Cummins withdraws appeal for Obstructing the field against Ravindra Jadeja

The SRH captain withdrew the appeal for ‘obstructing the field’ against the CSK all-rounder who unknowingly got in line of the throw by Bhuvneshwar Kumar during the second last over of the first innings. Seeing Jadeja come obstruct the throw, on-field umpires thought of going upstairs, however, captain Cummins withheld the ‘spirit of the game’ by withdrawing the appeal.
