But the real stars of the match were skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, who fell just two runs short of his second IPL century with a blistering 98 off 54 balls, and Daryl Mitchell, who notched up a brilliant half-century with 52 runs off 32 balls. Their stellar performances helped the five-time champions CSK post a formidable total of 212 for 3.

Despite a valiant effort from SRH's Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, and T Natarajan, who each managed to take a wicket, it was not enough to stop the relentless onslaught from CSK.
