No one in the SRC could stay in the crease for long. Tusshar Deshpande dropped all three front-line batsmen early and the visitors’ plight worsened. Aiden Markram (32), Hentich Klassen (20) and Abdul Samad (19) held back a little.
In IPL, the captains who get the toss choose to bowl in most of the matches. SRH captain Pat Cummins didn’t think twice this time either. The experienced Ajankya Rahane and the brilliant Ruturaj Gaekwad opened the innings for Chennai.
