After winning the IPL 2024 toss and opting to bowl first, Pat Cummins limited the Chennai Super Kings to 165/5 in their 20 overs. With 45 runs, Shivam Dube was the highest-scoring member of CSK. The returning winners benefited greatly from the contributions of Ajinkya Rahane (35) and Ravindra Jadeja (31).
Every bowler save for Mayank Markande and Abhishek Sharma claimed a wicket. The home team’s most economical bowler was Bhuvneshwar Kumar, an experienced Indian player who bowled four overs and claimed a wicket for 28 runs.
51 runs in 3.3 overs for Sunrisers Hyderabad
Abhishek Sharma batted with aggression right away, hitting Mukesh Chaudhary for 27 runs in his opening over. Before succumbing to Deepak Chahar, the youthful opener was out for 37 off 12 balls. In IPL 2024, the team that reached the fifty fastest was the one that did so in 3.3 overs.
Overs 0.1 to 6 (Mandatory -78/1) is the powerplay and first strategic timeout.
The loss of Abhishek Sharma didn’t affect SRH’s scoring pace. Aiden Markram and Travis Head delivered some powerful hits that put the CSK bowlers on the defensive.
