Sun Risers Smashed Super Kings.
The 14th match of IPL 2020 ended with SRH winning the game against Chennai Super Kings pushing them down the points table after their third subsequent defeat in this season.
The match was a close competition between the team,SRH batting first.They built a moderate and swift run chase of 164 on the loss of five wickets. Young Indian batsman Priyam Garg shone brightly in the game and hammered a quick astonishing 51 off 26 balls and made an amazing duo with Abhishek Sharma (31). SRH gathered 53 runs in last 4 overs to make it sound like a tough fight. Chennai was struggling hard to pull up the slipping victory from their hands. Being third defeat in a row, this awfully turned out to be worst start for Chennai.
MS Dhoni dragged the team to the finish line but strive to touch the end. The carpet was laid by fans for Dhoni to quench the thirst of boundaries but probably it wasn't his day. Being fifth down, he smashed a decent 47 off 36 balls. Unfortunately CSK fell short of 7 runs The spinner Rashid Khan bounded CSK with his clever deliveries giving a hard time to Chennai. The bowling was praiseworthy on Sun Riser's end as Bhuvneshwar, T Natarajan and Khaleel maintained the pressure over Kings.
A slow start and quick fall of three unexpected wickets of Faf Du Plessis (22), Shane Watson (1) and Amabati Rayudu (8) actually pulled CSK depriving them of celebration. Fans were quite dejected with the defeat but still showered love and wishes for Captain MS Dhoni and expect his undaunted comeback. Trust is beyond slight digressions.
When asked from Dhoni he reacted in this way "I was not able to middle a lot of balls. Was trying to hit it too hard. Looking at the boundary lines it was happening to me subconsciously. Normally, you would want to time it. Tried to get as much as time as possible. At this level, we need to draw a line and say these catches cannot be dropped. It is very important to be at your best. There are plenty of positives in this game and we will try to come back better."
