CSK vs SRH, IPL 2024 highlights: Tushar Deshpande stuns Hyderabad with career-best figures as Chennai thrash Sunrisers

CSK vs SRH IPL Live Score, Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: The Chepauk pitch has produced the greatest degree of turn (2.4 degrees) as compared (1.8 degrees) compared to the other pitches. There will be some assistance for the spinners and for those who can bowl slower deliveries. CSK and SRH are tipped to play a high-scoring match tonight. There might be significant dew later in the evening. 

"Slightly shorter on one side but it shouldn't make much of a difference. Down the ground, the shots need to be well timed. It looks a bit dry. Some aberrations here, traditionally teams that have batted first have succeeded but not this season. Spinners haven't had a significant part in this season either as has been the case previously. It looks very dry, there's a mosaic underlay and there isn't really a sheen that you have come to expect in this year's IPL. Same surface that was used in that game against GT where CSK scored over 200 runs," Anjum Chopra and Samuel Badree said in their pitch report.

"Umran is doing well. He is still young and is not that experienced. He had a great season with us when nobody knew him. When bowlers come in fresh to bowl at that pace, it is a challenge for the batters before they get used to it. That's what happened to him. He has to change his bowling and learn how to counter-attack them, and that's what he is learning and training with us. When he is ready, he will have his chances," Muralitharan said.
