The Indian Premier League 2024’s 46th match took place in Chennai’s storied M.A. Chidambaram Stadium between the Chennai Super Kings and the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Today, the visitors won the toss and chose to field first in an attempt to take full advantage of the dew factor in the second innings.
Sunrisers Hyderabad made a big move when they decided to leave Mayank Markande out of their playing XI and include an extra batter. Even though they had lost their previous two games, the hosts continued to play with the same squad.
After six overs, Chennai Super Kings’s powerplay is 50/1.
Ajinkya Rahane and Ruturaj Gaikwad were responsible for starting the franchise’s operations. In the third over of his quiet innings, the former found the fielder in the deep. They finished the powerplay with 50 runs on the scoreboard, though, thanks to the skipper’s continued run of play.

Mitchell misplayed his shot off the whole toss, ending his explosive innings just after the strategic break. As expected, the fireworks started when Shivam Dube joined Gaikwad at the crease. The two finished their fifty-run partnership in just 23 balls. In the last over, Natarjan took a wicket, preventing Gaikwad from reaching his hundred. When the last over came along, MS Dhoni came out to bat but was unable to land the key blows, as the team finished at 212.
