]]> Even as CSK captain MS Dhoni set a record by becoming the most capped player in IPL with 194 appearances, his team lost to Hyderabad in the October 2 match in Dubai plunging it to the bottom of the points tally. It was CSK’s third successive defeat this season.

Chennai lost Shane Watson (1) early; Faf du Plessis (22) then gave hope but was run out soon. CSK slumped to 42/4 when Ambati Rayudu (8) and Kedar Jadhav (3) left in quick succession. It was left to the captain to save his ship. The 72-run fifth-wicket partnership between Ravindra Jadeja (50 off 35) and Dhoni (47 off 36) renewed hope of a CSK and Dhoni magic. However, Jadeja’s exit extinguished the prospect of a last-minute win. CSK wound up at 157/5 in the face of SRH’s top-notch bowling especially from Afghan Rashid Khan (4-0-12-0).

Early in the match, the David Warner-led Sunrisers won the toss and decided to bat. Youngsters Priyam Garg (51 not out off 26 balls), Abhishek Sharma (31 off 24 balls) clinched the match for the team. SRH collected 53 runs in the last four overs to reach 164/5 in 20 overs.

Garg, a former U-19 captain, scored his maiden IPL half century and was crowned Player of the Match.

Finally, Sunrisers Hyderabad had their first win in the T20 IPL season in the UAE. SRH won by 15 runs in the match in Abu Dhabi against Delhi Capitals, which ironically had its first loss this season.

Tabletoppers DC, which won the toss, had elected to bowl. Jonny Bairstow (53), David Warner (45) and Kane Williamson (41) put in good displays with the bat for SRH while debutant Abdul Samad (12 not out) opened his batting account in the IPL. Kagiso Rabada and Amit Mishra took two wickets each for DC.

After SRH set a target of 162, DC could only cobble up 147 in 20 overs. Wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant’s batting prowess (28 off 27) came too late for DC. SRH deserved the win as they were better in both bowling and batting departments.

For Sunrisers, Rashid Khan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar shone with the ball. Rashid won the Player of the Match for his brilliant 3/14 while Kumar bagged 2/25.

For SRH skipper David Warner, leading an IPL side for the 50th time, the day turned lucky.
