Shahbaz is back into the attack. Cut away to deep backward point, has Ruturaj. They’’ll get two. There’s a break as Gaikwad appears to be in some sort of discomfort. He is okay to continue though. FOUR! The ball beats two diving fielders to speed away to the fence. The timing was impeccable.

CSK 4/0 in 1 over
Bhuvneshwar Kumar with the new ball. Ajinkya Rahane tucks the ball away towards leg side and takes a double on the first ball. Away swing and beats Rahane’s outside edge. Just three runs in five balls so far. Four runs off the over.

Pitch report
Pitch looks a bit dry. It is the same surface that was used in GT game earlier this season where CSK scored 200. Despite some assistance available for spinners, there are still runs on the board. There might be dew later in the evening, says Anjum Chopra and Samuel Badree.
RCB has just pulled off a record chase against GT!

A fortnight ago, Chennai Super Kings’s campaign was on the right course after beating Mumbai Indians convincingly with four wins out of six. However, defeats in its last two matches have meant the defending champion has been pushed into a corner where it can’t afford further missteps. It is in this situation Ruturaj Gaikwad’s men take on a destructive Sunrisers Hyderabad at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.
Though CSK has the best record at home, it will be the team facing the heat. Despite scoring 210 against Lucknow Super Giants in their previous game, the former failed to defend the target, as the medium pacers struggled in dewy conditions.
Like CSK, SRH also lost its previous encounter—against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Though the famed top-order had a rare off-day, the Men in Orange have enough firepower to pose a serious threat against a misfiring CSK bowling attack.
After the loss to LSG, CSK coach Stephen Fleming said that the pitch at Chepauk had not played to his side’s strength of spin and wished for a surface that gripped and offered turn. So all eyes will be on the 22-yard strip and whether the home side can get a pitch similar to the one used in the game against Kolkata Knight Riders.
A slow track could hold the key to stopping Sunrisers’ belligerent batting line-up, which has posted three totals over 250. The game against RCB showed a potential chink in the armour of the SRH batters when three of the four fell to the slower bowlers, and it is something the hosts will want to exploit.
Good afternoon! Stay tuned for live updates from Chepauk
Welcome to the live coverage of the Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL 2024 match set to be played at the M.A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai at 7:30pm today.
