PRANAV MEHTA
It’s an encounter between the top of the table and bottom of the table teams. Sunrisers Hyderabad take on the Chennai Super kings. And it’s almost essential for SRH to immediately start their engine.
Amidst the difficult times in India, due to the massive spike in Covid cases, IPL has worked a great deal as a calming agent. IPL has been India’s favourite festival for the past many years. And when you talk about a festival, you can’t miss MSD, who is nothing less than a cricket god to the Indian fans. Irrespective of his jersey colour, he has been the talk of the town, when he walks in to the ground, and this IPL is no different.
Highlights
DC chased down SRH s eight-run target on the last ball of the Super Over
This win gave DC their fourth win in five games in IPL 2021
Sunrisers Hyderabad s (SRH) inept middle-order show foiled their splendid bowling effort as they slumped to yet another in Indian Premier League (IPL), losing Sunday s contest against Delhi Capitals (DC) via Super Over, here. SRH spinners Rashid Khan and Jagadeesha Suchith s tight spells had restricted the DC to 159 for four despite a quick 81-run stand between openers Prithvi Shaw (53) and Shikhar Dhawan (28). However, SRH s over-reliance on their top-order batsmen meant that once skipper David Warner (6) and Jonny Bairstow (38) were dismissed, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson was left to anchor the sinking ship.

Incredible Premier League! @IPL What a dramatic Sunday night. Feel for #KaneWilliamson, his masterclass goin in vain. Well done @DelhiCapitals executed their plans well at the pressure situation @RishabhPant17 .#DCvsSRH#IPL2021 Reema Malhotra (@ReemaMalhotra8) April 25, 2021
Good on Sunrisers using the IPL platform to popularize 4 vs 11 cricket matches Static 357 (@Static a357) April 25, 2021
Minor thing. Before #IPL2021, BCCI decided to give the short run check to the third umpire.
Punjab had made an official complaint last year after a tied game vs DC saw them denied a run. Maybe played a role in this rule change.
this teaches us that staying outside home even an inch right now can cause a lot of damage to you. #SRHvDCpic.twitter.com/OQ7uRkauYZ Neeche Se Topper (@NeecheSeTopper) April 25, 2021
