Chennai Super Kings registered their season’s fourth win after an emphatic seven-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 21.
SRH, batting first, failed to read spin and put 134/7 on the board after 20 overs. MS Dhoni, for the 2nd consecutive game, was brilliant behind the wickets, as the 41-year-old produced three dismissals in the match against SRH.
