The IPL 2025 43rd match on April 25, 2025, at Chepauk was a blockbuster! Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) shocked Chennai Super Kings (CSK) with a 5-wicket win, their first-ever at CSK’s home ground. MS Dhoni played his 400th T20 match, but SRH’s brilliance stole the spotlight. Here’s the full story!
Match Overview: SRH Ends Chepauk Curse
SRH won the toss and bowled first, restricting CSK to 154/10 in 19.5 overs. They chased 155 in 18.4 overs despite early losses, thanks to Kamindu Mendis and Harshal Patel. This victory lifted SRH’s hopes, while CSK’s 4th straight home loss hurt their campaign.
CSK’s Batting: Brevis Shines, Team Struggles
CSK’s innings started with Shaik Rasheed’s duck off Mohammed Shami’s first ball. Dewald Brevis (42 off 25) and Ayush Mhatre (30 off 19) fought hard, but wickets kept falling. MS Dhoni’s 7 off 9 disappointed fans, and Deepak Hooda’s 22 couldn’t save the day.
SRH’s Harshal Patel (4/28) was the wrecker-in-chief with his slower balls.
SRH’s Chase: Mendis Seals the Deal
SRH lost Abhishek Sharma early for a duck, but Ishan Kishan (44 off 34) kept them alive. At 106/5, Kamindu Mendis (32* off 22) and Nitish Reddy (19* off 14) finished the chase with 8 balls to spare, aided by dew.
