CSK vs SRH 2025 Match Report
It was a topsy-turvy ride for CSK after being put in to bat by SRH, and the chaos began right from the first delivery as Rasheed fell for a golden duck. A surprise move saw Sam Curran walk in at No. 3, but the gamble flopped. Ayush Mhatre tried to inject momentum early with a few aggressive strokes, but it was debutant Dewald Brevis who stole the spotlight, launching a blistering assault, smashing four sixes in no time, including a brutal over against Kamindu Mendis.
Just when he looked unstoppable, Mendis had his revenge with a jaw-dropping catch to end Brevis’s fiery cameo. CSK’s middle order crumbled, with Dube and Dhoni offering little resistance. An impact sub was called upon—Kamboj—but wickets kept tumbling, thanks to Harshal Patel’s ruthless four-wicket haul, well backed by Unadkat and Cummins.
Amid the wreckage, Deepak Hooda's late flourish gave CSK a fighting total just over 150. The surface offered grip and turn, with spinners getting a fair share of the spotlight as well, setting the stage for an intriguing chase.
Defending a modest total on a tacky surface that offered assistance to spinners, CSK's bowlers lost the plot with a flurry of extras, letting SRH off the leash. Though the visitors didn't get off to a flying start, Ishan Kishan anchored the chase with grit.
The ever-involved Kamindu Mendis followed up his all-round brilliance—spinning a tidy spell and pulling off a sensational catch to dismiss a rampaging Brevis—with a composed batting cameo. As the pressure eased, Nitish Reddy sealed the deal with a confident flourish, SRH coasting home with over an over to spare. That breathtaking catch by Mendis to halt Brevis was arguably the turning point, snatching momentum CSK never reclaimed.
From 114/4 to a disappointing 154 all out, CSK’s innings unraveled at the wrong time, leaving their playoff hopes dangling by a thread and demanding nothing short of a miracle to revive their campaign.
