IPL 2025: 5 milestones that were reached during SRH's commanding 5-wicket win over CSK in Match 43 ft. Harshal Patel

The SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) returned to winning ways with a commanding five-wicket win over the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Friday, April 25, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. With the win, SRH have now jumped a spot to occupy the eighth place in the table with six points from nine matches.

Batting first, CSK accumulated 154 runs, thanks to contributions from Dewald Brevis (42 off 25) and Deepak Hooda (22). Harshal Patel starred with the ball, returning with figures of 4/28, while Pat Cummins and Jaydev Unadkat picked up two wickets apiece.

In reply, SRH were reduced to 54/3 within nine overs, but Ishan Kishan played a good hand in keeping the team in the run chase. Although Ishan departed after scoring 44, Kamindu Mendis (32) and Nitish Reddy (19) took the team home with eight balls to spare.

The match between Chennai and Hyderabad tonight saw a few records and milestones tumble. Here are five of them.

#2 Mohammad Shami becomes the first bowler to pick up a wicket off the first ball four times

Senior Team India seamer Mohammad Shami got SRH off to an excellent start. The right-arm pacer dismissed young wicketkeeper-batter Shaik Rasheed on the first ball of the match to jolt CSK early in the innings.

This is the fourth instance when Shami has picked up a wicket with the first ball of an innings. He is the only bowler to register a wicket of the first ball of an innings four times.

This wicket added to Shami's impressive list of first-ball dismissals. This includes Jacques Kallis (Dubai, 2014), KL Rahul (Wankhede, 2022), and Phil Salt (Ahmedabad, 2023).
