SRH Picked Up Their Maiden Win Over Chennai Super Kings

The IPL 2024 runners-up have encountered a dull run this season so far. Despite the presence of a fiery batting lineup, they struggled to hit the ground running.

The win against CSK also happened to be SRH's maiden win over the five-time IPL champions. Led by Harshal Patel's four-wicket haul, the SRH bowlers did their best to restrict MS Dhoni's side to a modest 154. Ishan Kishan's quickfire 44 set up the stage for a tricky chase and Kamindu Mendis stayed till the end to ensure the team left the Chepauk stadium with two points.

They would hope the win against SRH would help them in overturning their fortunes. They can still mathematically qualify for the playoffs. They need to win their remaining games and will also need some other results go in to their favour.
