The CSK innings had a point when Bhuvneshwar Kumar attempted to throw to the stumps, but Ravindra Jadeja blocked him.
SunRisers Hyderabad exhibited outstanding batting in their IPL 2024 encounter against the Chennai Super Kings, easily winning by six wickets. The CSK spinners were unable to halt the SRH batsmen’s relentless pounding, and the team suffered their second straight defeat. Following the defeat, SRH surged to the fifth spot in the IPL 2024 standings, while CSK held steady at the top. The game had an intriguing occurrence in addition to the customary competition between the ball and bat.Ravindra Jadeja blocked Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s toss that was headed for the stumps during a point in the CSK innings’ 19th over.
Heinrich Klaasen of SRH seems to be hinting that he might be blocking the field as well. However, SRH captain Pat Cummins pulled the appeal.
Mohammad Kaif, a former star of the Indian cricket team, offered an intriguing perspective on the event.
“I have two inquiries for Pat Cummins on the withdrawal of the field appeal against Jadeja. Was it a calculated decision to keep Dhoni inside and let a faltering Jadeja man the crease? If Virat Kohli had been in the World T20, would he have acted in the same way?” Muhammad Kaif shared a post on X
In reference to the game, Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated the reigning champions by six wickets on Friday after the Chennai Super Kings mishandled their batting position during their batting innings. Abhishek Sharma, an IPL tornado, struck with 37 off 12 balls.
With just 37 runs scored in the final five overs, the SRH bowlers shown extreme discipline in holding CSK to 165 for 5 in 20 overs.
While CSK managed just 37 off their last five deliveries, youthful southpaw Abhishek, who is enjoying himself immensely in the competition, too managed 37 off just 12 deliveries, including four sixes, to set the stage for his victory.
Then, as SRH amassed the runs in just 18.1 overs, Aiden Markram led a run chase with a 36-ball fifty.
Abhishek hit a dazed Mukesh Chaudhary, who was playing in his debut game, for 27 runs before his 60-run partnership with opener Travis Head (31 off 24 balls) for the second wicket in seven overs. That was the end of the contest as CSK lost their next two away games while SRH had now won both of their home games. First up, CSK had a chance, but Moeen Ali dropped Head off Deepak Chahar’s second delivery.
Once Mustafizur Rahaman was forced to withdraw due to a one-match break to apply for a US visa, Abhishek, then 23 years old, unleashed mayhem by hitting two fours and three sixes off Mukesh. In his single over as a player, Mukesh was all over the place in his first competitive game in sixteen months. When Mustafizue returns, he will once more warm the benches.
Abhishek did not let up, hitting “IPL specialist” Chahar for a boundary and a six in the third over. However, his fireworks came to a stop when a diving Jadeja claimed his lofted ball.
