Chennai Super Kings have returned to the top of the IPL standings once again with a six wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad at home on Tuesday night.

Put into bat by CSK, Sunrisers lost their in-form opener Jonny Bairstow in the second over itself. However, Manish Pandey stepped up for the team after coming into bat at number 3, and along with David Warner smashed the bowlers all around the park.

Warner (57 off 45) and Pandey (83 off 49) helped powered Hyderabad post a competitive 175/3.

Chasing 176, CSK got off to a rather dull start. They lost Faf Du Plessis early and the run rate too, wasn’t very encouraging. Suresh Raina (38 off 24) came in at number 3 and infused much needed momentum into the chase. Shane Watson played a gem of an innings, making 96 off 53.

The equation came down to CSK needing 9 off the last over. Jadhav smashed the first ball for a six and CSK eventually chased down the target with a ball to spare.
