   c Ruturaj Gaikwad b Akash Singh 4.2 Akash Singh to Harry Brook, OUT! TAKEN! Akash Singh draws first blood! Harry Brook goes back to the hut now. Singh serves this full and around off, Harry Brook looks to cut it away, but is a bit late and ends up slicing it in the air towards wide backward point where Ruturaj Gaikwad takes a sharp catch diving forward. Hyderabad lose their first wicket! 35/1
   Abhishek Sharma	34	26	3	1	130.77
   c Ajinkya Rahane b Ravindra Jadeja 9.2 Ravindra Jadeja to Abhishek Sharma, OUT! CAUGHT! Ravindra Jadeja finds the breakthrough his team was looking for and also, he gets rid of the set-batter in Abhishek Sharma. It is a bit short, on middle. Abhishek Sharma goes for the pull shot but does not time it at all. One might say he holed out to a nothing shot here. Nevertheless, he has had a great impact being pushed up the order. It is Ajinkya Rahane who takes a sharp catch at long on diving forward. 71/2
   Rahul Tripathi	21	21	1	1	100.00
   c Akash Singh b Ravindra Jadeja 11.2 Ravindra Jadeja to Rahul Tripathi, OUT! TAKEN! Ravindra Jadeja strikes again! Rahul Tripathi's struggling knock comes to end. This is tossed up, full and around off, grips and turns away a bit, Rahul Tripathi goes down and tries to sweep it away, but only manages to get a top edge due to the turn and bounce as the ball flies in the air towards short fine leg where Akash Singh runs to his left and pouches it safely. Hyderabad three down now! 84/3
   Aiden Markram (C)	12	12	1	0	100.00
   c MS Dhoni b Maheesh Theekshana 12.5 Maheesh Theekshana to Aiden Markram, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Maheesh Theekshana gets a wicket now, and it is huge one of Aiden Markram. He bowls this quicker, short and around off, skids through too, Aiden Markram makes room and tries to cut it away, but only manages to get an outside edge and MS Dhoni takes a sharp catch behind the stumps. Hyderabad are losing their way a bit here as they are four down now. 90/4
   Heinrich Klaasen (Wk)	17	16	1	0	106.25
   c Ruturaj Gaikwad b Matheesha Pathirana 17.3 Matheesha Pathirana to Heinrich Klaasen, OUT! CAUGHT! Matheesha Pathirana picks the big wicket of Heinrich Klaasen and Hyderabad now are in all sorts of trouble here. They have no recognised batter left to have a go in the death overs. Matheesha Pathirana strikes at a crucial juncture of this match. It is full and on off. Heinrich Klaasen throws the kitchen sink at it but only to find Ruturaj Gaikwad at extra cover, who takes a solid catch diving forward. 116/6
   Mayank Agarwal	2	4	0	0	50.00
   st MS Dhoni b Ravindra Jadeja 13.5 Ravindra Jadeja to Mayank Agarwal, OUT! STUMPED! Ravindra Jadeja gets his third wicket now! He darts this one full and around off seeing the batter advance, Mayank Agarwal tries to throw his bat at it, but is late and misses it and MS Dhoni does the rest behind the stumps. This is really clever from Jadeja and he won't be bothered about that catch now as he has got his man. Hyderabad lose half their side now! 95/5
   Marco Jansen	17	22	1	0	77.27
   not out
   Washington Sundar	9	6	1	0	150.00
   run out (MS Dhoni) 19.6 Matheesha Pathirana to Marco Jansen, OUT! RUN OUT! MS Dhoni on the money! It is fuller, on middle and leg, shaping in. Jansen fails to connect. It sneaks past his blade and past the leg pole as well. MS Dhoni is ready with his gloves off. Washington Sundar is early into his run-up but Dhoni is just too quick. He scores a direct-hit at the striker's end and Washington Sundar is well shot. The same is confirmed by the third umpire. Hyderabad end their innings at 134/7. 134/7

   run out (Umran Malik) 10.6 Umran Malik to Devon Conway, OUT! RUN OUT! A very unlucky dismissal for Ruturaj Gaikwad! Umran Malik serves this full and on middle, Devon Conway drives it well down the pitch where Umran Malik goes down and manages to get a hand to it as the ball goes and hits the stumps at the bowler's end with Gaikwad out of the crease. He never had a chance to get back, and Conway has his hands on his head in disappointment. Hyderabad finally gets a breakthrough and Ruturaj Gaikwad goes back after playing a decent knock. 87/1

The dot ball pressure has certainly done the trick for him. It is floated and full, on off. Ajinkya Rahane uses his feet and tries to flick it away. All he manages to get is a thick outside edge. Aiden Markram juggles the ball a couple of times before grabbing it at first slip.  110/2

He bowls the googly now, on middle, turning in sharply, Ambati Rayudu looks to drive, but fails to pick it as the ball goes through the huge gap between bat and ball and shatter the stumps. Chennai three down now! 122/3

12:00 amRight then, that's it from the coverage of this game. The Indian T20 League 2023 action continues on 22nd April. It is time for another double-header coming your way. In the first match, Lucknow will go up against Gujarat. This match will start at 3.30 pm IST (10 am GMT), followed by a match between Mumbai and Punjab at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but as you all know, you can join us early for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!

12:01 amRavindra Jadeja wins the Player of the Match award for his exceptional spell with the ball. He starts by saying that looking at the Chennai wicket always excites him. Adds that he always tries to attack the stumps. Mentions that Dhoni will continue to do stumping behind the sticks. He is a world-class player and believes that he can continue for a long time. Mentions that it is always an amazing feeling to play in front of the Chennai crowd. Hopes that every match at this venue is jam-packed.

12:02 amMS Dhoni, the victorious skipper is in for a chat. He says this is the last phase of his career and he just wants to enjoy it. Adds that the fans have waited long to get back here and they haven't played in Chennai a lot and it is nice to see them. Tells that he is not getting a lot of batting but he is not complaining as the team is doing really well. Praises Matheesha Pathirana and says that he was fantastic with his lines and lengths and it is difficult to pick him for the new batters with the action and we have seen Malinga being consistent with something similar. Says that he was doubtful of batting second as there was no dew but credits the bowlers for their performance. Further adds that he gives the freedom to the bowlers to pick the field and only sometimes make changes but jokingly says this was difficult with Bravo as he would never agree with him. Ends by saying that it was a fantastic catch by him, but again jokingly says that still he didn't win the best catch. Remembers a time when Rahul Dravid took a similar catch and you have to be in a very wrong position to take a catch like that.

11:06 pmStay tuned for the presentation...

12:03 amDevon Conway, the man of the moment is in for a quick chat. He starts by saying he is happy to get the win for his side and glad that he could stick till the very end. Mentions their recipe is to put the pressure on the bowlers as soon as possible. Adds that they got better conditions while batting. Informs that this wicket was good in the second innings and they just tried not to be reckless during the chase.

12:03 amAiden Markram, the captain of Hyderabad says that he is disappointed and the batting let them down in this game. Adds that they couldn't build a partnership and the par score was around 160 on this wicket. Mentions that they knew spinners could play a big role, but they just could not execute their plans during their batting. Tells that they need to start winning now and will need to bat well. Ends by saying that he is proud of his bowlers to take the game deep and they need a few guys to step up and come back stronger in the next match.

12:03 amEarlier in the innings, after being put to bat first. Hyderabad batters could not find their mojo away from home. Except for Abhishek Sharma, no other batter looked as promising as he did. Aiden Markram and the coaching staff have a lot to ponder upon, they cannot go anywhere else other than the drawing board now. Chennai were on fire with the ball in hand, they kept the batters under constant pressure. The spinners then came into the attack and did the trick for them, as they restricted Hyderabad to a below-par score. Ravindra Jadeja was the magician behind this Chennai bowling performance. Eventually, the hosts chased it down without any trouble.

12:04 amTo be honest, there is not much to write about this bowling performance from Hyderabad. It was mostly a lacklustre performance from the bowlers. Except for Mayank Markande, no other bowler could really have an impact on this game. Also, sometimes having too many bowlers at your disposal could be a problem for the skipper, and that's how it turned out to be for Aiden Markram this evening.

12:05 amChasing a low target could always get tricky and it is all about getting off to a solid start with the bat and that is what Devon Conway provided for the hosts. He was on to the bowlers from the get-go. In a perfect world, Chennai could well have got over the line with all 10 wickets in hand, but it was not the case here, as Ruturaj Gaikwad slipped out against the run of play, that too in an unfortunate manner. Nonetheless, the target was too low to bother the Chennai batting rank and eventually, they got over the line with 7 wickets to spare. Devon Conway was there till the very end with his unbeaten knock of 77 runs.

10:55 pmA resounding victory for Chennai! It was basically one-way traffic throughout the encounter. Earlier, Chennai dominated with the ball in hand, and then their batters undoubtedly outclassed the opposition to collect two valuable points. Hyderabad's bad run continues against the Men in Yellow, as they are only able to extend their losing streak against Chennai away from home.

It sneaks past his blade and past the leg pole as well. MS Dhoni is ready with his gloves off. Washington Sundar is early into his run-up but Dhoni is just too quick. He scores a direct-hit at the striker's end and Washington Sundar is well shot. The same is confirmed by the third umpire. Hyderabad end their innings at 134/7. 134/7

   run out (Umran Malik) 10.6 Umran Malik to Devon Conway, OUT! RUN OUT! A very unlucky dismissal for Ruturaj Gaikwad! Umran Malik serves this full and on middle, Devon Conway drives it well down the pitch where Umran Malik goes down and manages to get a hand to it as the ball goes and hits the stumps at the bowler's end with Gaikwad out of the crease. He never had a chance to get back, and Conway has his hands on his head in disappointment. Hyderabad finally gets a breakthrough and Ruturaj Gaikwad goes back after playing a decent knock. 87/1

The dot ball pressure has certainly done the trick for him. It is floated and full, on off. Ajinkya Rahane uses his feet and tries to flick it away. All he manages to get is a thick outside edge. Aiden Markram juggles the ball a couple of times before grabbing it at first slip.  110/2

Chennai three down now! 122/3

12:00 amRight then, that's it from the coverage of this game. The Indian T20 League 2023 action continues on 22nd April. It is time for another double-header coming your way. In the first match, Lucknow will go up against Gujarat. This match will start at 3.30 pm IST (10 am GMT), followed by a match between Mumbai and Punjab at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but as you all know, you can join us early for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!

12:01 amRavindra Jadeja wins the Player of the Match award for his exceptional spell with the ball. He starts by saying that looking at the Chennai wicket always excites him. Adds that he always tries to attack the stumps. Mentions that Dhoni will continue to do stumping behind the sticks. He is a world-class player and believes that he can continue for a long time. Mentions that it is always an amazing feeling to play in front of the Chennai crowd. Hopes that every match at this venue is jam-packed.

12:02 amMS Dhoni, the victorious skipper is in for a chat. He says this is the last phase of his career and he just wants to enjoy it. Adds that the fans have waited long to get back here and they haven't played in Chennai a lot and it is nice to see them. Tells that he is not getting a lot of batting but he is not complaining as the team is doing really well. Praises Matheesha Pathirana and says that he was fantastic with his lines and lengths and it is difficult to pick him for the new batters with the action and we have seen Malinga being consistent with something similar. Says that he was doubtful of batting second as there was no dew but credits the bowlers for their performance. Further adds that he gives the freedom to the bowlers to pick the field and only sometimes make changes but jokingly says this was difficult with Bravo as he would never agree with him. Ends by saying that it was a fantastic catch by him, but again jokingly says that still he didn't win the best catch. Remembers a time when Rahul Dravid took a similar catch and you have to be in a very wrong position to take a catch like that.

11:06 pmStay tuned for the presentation...

12:03 amDevon Conway, the man of the moment is in for a quick chat. He starts by saying he is happy to get the win for his side and glad that he could stick till the very end. Mentions their recipe is to put the pressure on the bowlers as soon as possible. Adds that they got better conditions while batting. Informs that this wicket was good in the second innings and they just tried not to be reckless during the chase.

12:03 amAiden Markram, the captain of Hyderabad says that he is disappointed and the batting let them down in this game. Adds that they couldn't build a partnership and the par score was around 160 on this wicket. Mentions that they knew spinners could play a big role, but they just could not execute their plans during their batting. Tells that they need to start winning now and will need to bat well. Ends by saying that he is proud of his bowlers to take the game deep and they need a few guys to step up and come back stronger in the next match.

12:03 amEarlier in the innings, after being put to bat first. Hyderabad batters could not find their mojo away from home. Except for Abhishek Sharma, no other batter looked as promising as he did. Aiden Markram and the coaching staff have a lot to ponder upon, they cannot go anywhere else other than the drawing board now. Chennai were on fire with the ball in hand, they kept the batters under constant pressure. The spinners then came into the attack and did the trick for them, as they restricted Hyderabad to a below-par score. Ravindra Jadeja was the magician behind this Chennai bowling performance. Eventually, the hosts chased it down without any trouble.

12:04 amTo be honest, there is not much to write about this bowling performance from Hyderabad. It was mostly a lacklustre performance from the bowlers. Except for Mayank Markande, no other bowler could really have an impact on this game. Also, sometimes having too many bowlers at your disposal could be a problem for the skipper, and that's how it turned out to be for Aiden Markram this evening.

12:05 amChasing a low target could always get tricky and it is all about getting off to a solid start with the bat and that is what Devon Conway provided for the hosts. He was on to the bowlers from the get-go. In a perfect world, Chennai could well have got over the line with all 10 wickets in hand, but it was not the case here, as Ruturaj Gaikwad slipped out against the run of play, that too in an unfortunate manner. Nonetheless, the target was too low to bother the Chennai batting rank and eventually, they got over the line with 7 wickets to spare. Devon Conway was there till the very end with his unbeaten knock of 77 runs.

10:55 pmA resounding victory for Chennai! It was basically one-way traffic throughout the encounter. Earlier, Chennai dominated with the ball in hand, and then their batters undoubtedly outclassed the opposition to collect two valuable points. Hyderabad's bad run continues against the Men in Yellow, as they are only able to extend their losing streak against Chennai away from home.
