Chennai Super Kings took the top spot on the Indian Premier League table once more after Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis helped the team win by seven wickets over Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2021 on Wednesday. Hyderabad had set a target of 172 runs but for Chennai, it was a piece of cake, Gaikwad scored 75 off 44 and Plessis scored 56 of 38 to help the team to the fifth back-to-back win.
Rashid Khan though stirred a little trouble by taking down Gaikwad and later Moeen Ali as well as du Plessis to end with 3-36 but Chennai still had a stronghold over the match. Warner and Pandey worked together to post 106 for Hyderabad later Williamson and Jadhav powered Hyderabad to finish strong with 171 for 3.
