#3 223/3 vs Sunrisers Hyderabad at Hyderabad, May 8, 2013

Now, let’s take a trip from Chennai to Hyderabad. On May 8, 2013, Chennai Super Kings were all set to take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad in Hyderabad.

SRH won the toss and elected to field first. Murali Vijay and Mike Hussey opened the batting for CSK. There were some good contributions from both the openers as Hussey slammed 67 runs from 42 balls while Vijay scored a useful 29 runs from 20 balls.

However, it was Suresh Raina who stole the show. In a mind-blowing knock of 99 runs from 52 balls, Raina pummeled the bowlers to all parts of the ground and looked in sublime form. He remained unbeaten on 99 as CSK posted a mammoth total of 223/3.

SRH, who was known mostly for their bowling, couldn’t deliver with the bat either. There weren’t any notable contributions from any of the recognized batsmen as they were kept to 146/8 in their 20 overs.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
