Shikhar Dhawan stands second in the list with 2518 runs while Kane Williamson comes in at third with 1163. With Dhawan now plying his trade for Delhi Capitals, Warner is now the undisputed run-machine of Hyderabad.

Sunrisers Hyderabad bowled a nagging line and length to restrict Chennai Super Kings to 132 for five.

Leading the side in the absence of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who was rested for the game because of back spasm, Suresh Raina opted to bat after the coin landed in his favour. But the decision did not work wonders for the visitors as the Sunrisers bowlers produced a disciplined effort to pick up five wickets for 22 runs.
