Failed to take wickets
Chasing down the target of 180 runs, CSK openers Shane Watson and Ambati Rayudu put a brilliant 134-run partnership for the opening wicket which set the game for the hosts. The in-form SRH bowlers failed to take wickets in that innings and that obviously punished them.
Apart from Sandeep Sharma (1/36), none of SRH bowlers opened their wicket columns. The ineffective bowling efforts helped CSK to win the game easily as Ambati Rayudu guided the team to a victory with an unbeaten century knock.
