Sunrisers Hyderabad batter Nitish Kumar Reddy hopes his side can replicate RCB’s heroics from IPL 2024 to qualify for the playoffs. SRH managed to beat CSK in Chennai for the first time in the history of the tournament, handing the five-time champs a 5-wicket defeat. SRH have only won 3 out of the 9 matches they have played so far.
‘If RCB can, why can’t SRH?’: Reddy
Over the last week, both CSK and SRH coaches have cited RCB’s case from 2024 to opine on how the bottom-placed teams can resurrect their IPL 2025 campaign. Nitish joined the bandwagon on Friday after SRH’s win against CSK. In IPL 2024, RCB did the impossible by winning 7 out of 7 games and making it to the playoffs despite a poor start to their campaign.
“It is much important for us, it is a do-or-die for us. Last year the same situation RCB came up and won 7 in a row. Why not us this year,” Reddy said.
What happened in CSK vs SRH match?
Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Chennai Super Kings by 5 wickets to stay alive in the playoff race. Kamindu Mendis and Nitish Kumar Reddy stitched together a half-century stand for 6th wicket to chase down 155 after Ishan Kishan scored 44.
CSK were bowled out for 154 as Harshal Patel bagged 4/28. Dewald Brevis was the star for CSK with 25-ball 42. But Kamindu Mendis’s wonder catch dismissed him. Ayush Mhatre once again gave CSK a good start with 19-ball 30. However, as the other batters failed, CSK gave away that advantage.
Earlier, Pat Cummins won the toss and decided to bowl first at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. CSK dropped Rachin Ravindra for Dewald Brevis, making three changes to their Playing XI.
