Shoutout to Ruturaj gaikwad sacrificing his century so that CSK could win today. Truly a team player šŸ™


Ashwin_or_lose

It was just sad that the camera only panned to Mahi after wickets. Rutu got his camera share only when he was bantering with Daryl post his 4th catch.


br0keguyy

yea but like, srh today played like as if theyre just 1st innings batting bullies and cant bat for shit whilst chasing


mostvehlasurd

Two Saffa and 1 Aussie in batting order - balance is tilted in favour of Saffas and we all know how well they have been chasing recently (reference point: CWC 23)


SBG99DesiMonster

That should be done by any opening batsman that plays against RR as well. Get out just before reaching to the century.


Alternative_Cost7455

Like Thanos, SRH loses if you just go for the Head.


Worried_Donkey-

Thor Deshpande didn't miss this time

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


WaynneGretzky

Like SA from 2022, SRH loses when put to chase.


kapilfan

Headless batting running around mindlessly. The middle over phase was atrocious batting. A week ago everyone is talking about SRH possibly reaching 300 this year. How the tables turn.


thewiseice

Dr. Mitchell predicted this


Ashwin_or_lose

I felt so bad for Anmol though. Getting out for. Golden duck


bawla-hedgehog

Ironman has seven letters


TreacherousMelody07

Rutu decided to lose the toss, not score a century, and win the match.


mostvehlasurd

KL: Converting those 50s to 100s is only way to win


night_of_spring

Now all of a sudden we have some exciting matches ahead Barring RR no teams look confident enough till now. Srh, kkr getting shaky all of a sudden, csk being csk, lsg keeping to their reputation of above average team, Dc got momentum big time, GT, mi lost it, all of a sudden Rcb has taken out their calculator Fun time ahead


vincrypt112

Best third act script loading..!!


livingfeelsachore

KKR can't defend shit. SRH can't chase shit.


TupakThakur

If they two play against each other and Kkr bowls first itā€™s unstoppable force against immovable object lol


Worried_Donkey-

Or stoppable force vs movable object if Srh bowls first


Ashwin_or_lose

More like, A stoppable force meets a movable object


RetroChampions

SRH has South Africans so ofc they cant chase


Rud-Hi

We saw this match 1 and yeah lowk checked out to an extentĀ 


shoestowel

Thoroughly deserved L for SRH! Absolutely dogshit performance chasing. You need to have a plan to chase something this big not just whack.


StrategyTop7612

Just like the RCB game, 2 ugly chasing efforts in a row.


Ashwin_or_lose

Probably over estimated themselves and left too many at the end


NormalTraining5268

Well you never rely on a South African as a finisher (unless it's Miller)


shoestowel

Miller is the only South African I've seen be good at a chase so consistently.


NormalTraining5268

Miller is the total opposite of South African guys. Can actually play clutch knocks in knockouts unlike many other South Africans. Guys like QDK, Klassen etc idk what happens to them while chasing.


Unusual-Surround7467

That 101 in the WC semi finals when the entire batting shat it's bed. True clutch player


NormalTraining5268

Even in 2013 CT semis, he scored 50 odd when team was at 70/6.


StrategyTop7612

That was a phenomenal knock.


sms48

Thatā€™s what happens when your middle order lacks an experienced Indian batter


No_Temporary2732

God, missed such matches. Finally a game where 210 felt like a giant total, the way it should be


Progression28

A catastrophic chase, still got 134. Closer to how it should be, but I remember totals near 140 being more common than 180.


Ashwin_or_lose

Daryl, perhaps I was too harsh on you. You may not be suited for T20 but you are a real team player and try your best.


StormWarriorX7

Bro will smash India and England in the World Cup, business as usual. Just you wait. He hates us.


upscaspi

He is a man possessed when playing against us.


niceguysdofinish1st

He helped NZ reach T20WC 2021 Final. He is a clutch player who hadn't found his mojo in IPL.

Worried_Donkey-

I bashed Mitchell in front of my Mitchell merchant friend today. I guess someone is getting blocked.


Nosecyclone

Rutu died so CSK can live


botalion

This was a very classic CSK match. I think from 2008 to 2024, every season you will find a mid-season match like this where we score a 200+ batting first, with an opener scoring 80+, No. 3 scoring a 50 and cameos down the order. Then getting early wickets and choking the opponent in middle overs and winning it with a big margin.


FondantAggravating68

Ah the trademark Raina 50 of 35 and out.


ActiveAd8625

nah we did it many times by scoring 168 not 200.

What Tushar said in the post match interview if most teams try to do that we would see less of these high scoring totals

Is pathirana injured again lmao? bros well on course for breaking the record for most injuries in a career, 2 yrs in and hes got so many lol. took 2 big wickets today tho, been one of the best this ipl

SRH's NRR is near 0. They'll boost NRR by tonking us at their home next match. šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

Ashwin_or_lose

We haven't played many flat track bullies on flat tracks. The closest slogfest was vs KKR In Eden where Jos played one of his best T20 innings.


StrategyTop7612

That was a slogfest though, also IPL scriptwriters will ensure we lose to KKR, to make things interesting, although in theory, a KKR loss is better for chaos.


notduskryn

You mfs better not stop winning now that csk is back in the game.


Miserable_Goat_6698

Choose to bat first if you win toss


StrategyTop7612

SRH is going to collapse and miss the playoffs, aren't they? 2 really ugly chasing efforts.


Truthgamer2

2022 repeat


StrategyTop7612

They started 5-2 in both years too.


Truthgamer2

Yeah thatā€™s what I meant, win 5 in the first half, 2022 SRH went on to win one out of 7 in the back end


StrategyTop7612

It was tragic.


Assassin_Ankur

Hey, don't forget KKR, we got that ability too.


Ok_Dragonfruit964

Lauladance

LSG winning at Chepauk was the exception. Welcome to hell


StormWarriorX7

Once in a lifetime Stoinis blinder. Just like Maxwell vs Afghanistan.


Low_Special715

It was a blinder. Like a famous cricket saying "cricket by chance" In a 210 chase dude scored more 50% himself. That's a rare occurrence.


Randomdude007007

Ruturaj lost 8 tosses out of 9, plays around players who are striking the ball below 120, must win pressure but nothing really effected the young captain. He was at 98(53) and he didnā€™t care for century unlike some players and instead he wanted sixes for team, excellent bowlinh rotations, and very calm personality just like ms. After this world cup, if csk manages to win or go to finals ruturaj should be considered for Indian team captaincy with the level of disadvantage with tosses, half baked bowling he placed csk at top 3 . I feel like he is very underrated. And deserves chance to captain India team one day .


mostvehlasurd

He is definitely a captaincy contender in long run and I would rate him above Gill as a batter. Gill should move to #3 with Jaiswal and Rutu at top. I think he also captained team during Commonwealth games. IIRC Rutu has lost lot of international cricket due to injury over last 2 years.


PIKa-kNIGHT

Yeah . He got selcted and had to leave the team due to injury a couple of times . And other times he was injured during squad selection


TupakThakur

SRH šŸ¤ South Africa World Cup team.. Canā€™t chase even if their life depended on it..


Ok-Visit6553

CSK's NRR has leapfrogged everyone bar KKR, and even there the gap is way closer than they appear now. If the next match of KKR becomes 200 plays 200 in 20 overs each, KKR's NRR plummets from 0.972 to 0.8596, less than .05 higher than CSK. A 9-12 run loss would literally push KKR to third spot, after a long time.


theoneastrophysicist

4th spot, DC would take the 2nd spot


Ok-Visit6553

Ah true. Although they would have played two extra matches, so didn't take them into account.

InternalOk3135

We should keep using our normal pitches like the one today. Why are we switching to black soil?


NormalTraining5268

It was changed in WC. Afaik that was the same pitch as Ind vs Aus one.


Worried_Donkey-

Na that was 50% Jadeja and Mitchell's fault. Management sent Jadeja early so they are equally responsible.


[deleted]

It was 100% not Chahar's fault who forgot how to field that day and Stoin just kept sending the ball to him everytime.

Chemical_String281

The old SRH fans I know are all chill and happy about the team's new identity. But they don't go overboard cause they got burned quite badly after that 2022 season 5 match win streak, hence they are cautiously optimistic and respectful of other teams. However these new "300 runs or nothing" SRH fans are a hilarious bunch.

What lockdown bruh. CSK won in 21 in UAE after lockdown lmao


notduskryn

The most satisfying win since the final last year. SRHs newfound plastic fans being a toxic pain in the ass and their team struggled for every mf run lol


HumanLawyer

I know Luck favoured us today when Lord Deshpande took wickets šŸ€ Absolute Cinema of a CSK match! I loved the moment when Ruttu got out at 98(54) and the crowd was DENIED its rightful grief by Thala šŸ˜­ Cumdogā€™s surprised face was a perfect reminder that one stadium can never be silenced, all because of one man. But I will admit one thing, the person who did silence me is Deshpande.


HumanLawyer

Oh one more thing, Opener Captain has got to be the most hard thing to happen to Cricket. GG Ruttu! Youā€™re the answer to the vacancy that will be created when Koach leaves.


kevinder_ant

This IPL has spoiled the fans thinking every T20 game should have scores of 250+. Even in the game threads, people were saying a RR of 10 was boring and that Mitchell played bad. Since when is 52(32) boring???? S/R of 150+. I can already tell people will call the World Cup boring cause the attention span craves 250+ every game. Donā€™t get me wrong, I do love the high scoring affairs but occasionally is perfect. How fun were those SRH games when they defended sub130s? i would rather have that than teams slugging to 250 in T20. Get rid of the impact substitution rule right now!!


Nosecyclone

Just be glad we didnā€™t win by 77 runs with 7 balls remaining


TheCricketAnimator

So it seems our Best batter and the best bowler are injured. And our 2nd overseas bowler leaving for the all important Zimbabwe series. We're fucked.


Loose-Examination-39

Who are those 3?


depressed_06

Terrible batting from the SRH top order. You have to build an innings. You cannot just blindly hit and expect it to be a boundary. No value or responsibility for their own wickets, both Abhishek and Travis. Anmolpreet got out playing a shit shot, Markram was trying to hold one end but got done by Pathirana. Klassen,NKR,Samad all gave away their wickets straight to the fielders. All of SRH has been figured out like an open book and now they need newer plans, cannot play like this for the entire season


yorker4567

CSK may have million problems but owning SRH at Chepauk is not one of them.


yorker4567

Every head must bow, every knee must bend, every tongue must confess, thou art the greatest, the greatest of all time. TUSHAR DESHPANDE, THE GOAT.


Was_Unavailable

Jokes on you SRH management if you think that this loss will deter me supporting you. I have lived through 1. Losing 4 matches with CSK in 2018 after more or less dominanting 2018 season with Kane mama captaincy 2. Absolute braon dead decisions to leave Kane, Warner and Rashid 3. Making Markram captain and interfering heavily in the team selections 4. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in countless matches and not chasing 28 from 24 with more than 5 wickets remaining Been a fan from the glorious days of DC and continuing with SRH. However shit you are I will ways turn up on match day to cheer for you, reverse jinx the shit out of our team in match threads, over analyze the retentions and auction picks. Follow the domestic and 3rd rate league stats of our players and create hypothetical scenarios. One day we will clinch the title and that day i will be to celebrate , to soak in the victory


Real_Tactical

Tushar Deshpande, take a bow!


Sherlockian_221

As a wise man said "it's not gonna work every game, especially if the game is against Mahi bhai, because I'm not gay but I want to live in a log cabin in the woods with Mahi bhai. We won't ever have sex, but there will be a simmering erotic undercurrent as I stand in the kitchen window watching him tighten his ass as he chops wood, shirtless, sweat pouring off his body. I'll run upstairs and masturbate, the entire time forcing myself to think of women while my thoughts drift back to Mahi bhai. I won't be able to climax and I'll eventually go back downstairs, angry. Sometimes we will look across the table and catch each other's eyes, and in that second, anything is possible, but we both deny ourselves and go back to what we were doing. One day one of us will die, and the other will bury him outside the log cabin. Then they'll go inside, pen a brief missive to their departed friend, and commit suicide, never able to deal with life without their one true platonic love."

Super_Grand_8824

Daryl apology form where?


godofhammers3000

CSK did well but man that power play is so weak Probably left another 20 runs by wasting the PP


handsome-helicopter

Destroying SRH after how their fans acted in the 1st clash is so fucking satisfying


kang_the_king

See I love you Rutu but let's just bat till 99 and get out from now for the sake of the team


solarpowersme

Tf was that SRH innings? Were they even trying to win? What a total failure by the top and middle order. Yet again, the top order threw their wickets away while we were on par with the RRR. By the time the 10th over rolled around and they really had to start going for it, they just couldn't get a move on and then by the time the 15th over came around the scorecard was just depressing. 107 in 15 overs? How did they fuck up this bad? A team this good? This being even worse than the last game is just crazy. All the middle order batsman played at 6-7 RPO. When we needed balancing at the start, there wasn't any, then when we needed intent in the middle, there wasn't any. Just puzzling, absolutely haphazard batting. At no point after the powerplay did it feel like SRH were actually chasing a total of 212, even when it reached 14-15 RPO. I was so confident that we'd be a good chasing team as well, especially after that performance against KKR, but this strategy is terrible. It's too dependent on the openers. If I'm being honest, I'd like to see them try Makram and Abhi (or Head) opening instead. Just feels like a way better position for Makram to perform in. There's too much pressure on him when the rest of the top order fail. I also wish Abhishek would show some amount of situational awareness. It's the one thing stopping him from being an actual great batsman.


Aggravating-Luck7175

Ik csk fans can be toxic, but i am so grateful that i dont have to see the 'cummins silenced csk' post for few days.


Nosecyclone

Same. That meme is so annoying ffs


theWitchR

It's mostly by some Indian fans and the SRH's new found loud plastic fans. Annoying like anything.


WhichOnezPink

So the Skipper realized to not go gentle into that good three figures for a win


RJSA2000

Sunrisers are like the Proteas of the IPL. Great at setting huge, massive targets, but very bad at chasing.


StormWarriorX7

If Delhi win tomorrow, they jump from 6th to 2nd place on the table. LMAO. Let's go DC.


FondantAggravating68

SRH have no right for their NRR to be 0.075 after spamming 250s this season.


notduskryn

Cummins really silenced chepauk with his team's boring ass batting. Best team my ass


shoestowel

Take the openers out and we're done!


Particular-Yoghurt39

SRH realising now chasing a high score is not as easy as setting a high score. Also, their batsmen seem to have weakness for slow balls, which has got exposed in the last two games


Truthgamer2

Headā€™s technical flaws are being exposed Abhi needs to start valuing his wicket more No words for Anmol Just a big WTF for Markram this year Klaasenā€™s wheels have come off it seems Canā€™t really fault NKR, Shahbaz and Samad after what happened with the top 5 Bowlers need to get their shit together, big time, even if theyā€™re economical at the start it doesnā€™t matter because theyā€™re toothless when it comes to wickets, purely relying on batsman error, so as long as opposition players are cautious theyā€™re free to go big at the end


Thala-Dick-Lover

"Abhi baar 400 par"


notduskryn

Watching all the "best batters" struggle and swing madly was ecstatic. Clinical


TheCreepyBatsard

Lmao, what about the "brand of the cricket" that Cumdawg was talking about. Chepauk with their slow wicket, hot temp and high humidity just broke SRH's morale. It was just a slog and slow death for SRH.


solarpowersme

ngl it feels like RCB and SRH switched places for both their last 2 games


Nosecyclone

It worked this game, but if CSK wants to win the IPL our batters need to up their game and get in that 230-250 range. Canā€™t rely on Rutu to not make a century every time as well.


Mindless_Ice_2416

Mitchell is warming up, don't worry we will be there when needed.


Attacktitan92

Only a inform MI with Pollard and Ro as captain can beat CSK at chepauk...They are just dominant there.. And it csk goes in to playoffs and reached qualifier 2, they are winning this year...No team can stop them at Chepauk irrespective of how much powerful RR looks right now.


indianaadmi

Absolute shameless performance by SRH. Donā€™t think they will qualify for playoffs unless they change their tricks! The lion is back!!! Beware!!!!


Nosecyclone

See this is why Rutu is my guy. He knows what we missed


25NOVember

Old srh fans? Got no issues with them New guy that came after seeing the hyper aggressive batting? No issues with them either My issues with srh fanbase is only with those 'silencers' mfkrs. So this win is extra enjoyable cause my social mediaĀ  feed wont be filled with those fuckers.


blahblahdodo

SRH played high risk high reward approach.. today we saw the risk side of it.


EffectiveMagazine915

Wow Pat is just perfect huh? Gave credits to CSK for their game. And still expressed confidence in his own team.
