It was Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday and Sunrisers Hyderabad on the following day as chasing teams choked on successive days in Chennai. David Warner's 49th fifty in the Indian Premier League was not enough as SRH imploded in a span of 6 balls in their chase of 150 against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Match 6 of the 14th season at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
With the 6-run win, Royal Challengers Bangalore ended their
6-year-long wait for a win in their first two games of an IPL season. Notably, Virat Kohli's men began their campaign with a hard-fought win over Mumbai Indians on April 9.
From 115 for 2 in the 16th over, Sunrisers Hyderabad lost as many as 7 wickets for just 28 runs. At the end of 20 overs, SRH fell short of RCB's 148-run target by 6 runs. Left-arm spinner Shahbaz Ahmed did the star turn for RCB, picking up 3 wickets in the 17th over.
Do you think Devendra Fadnavis will be next CM of Maharashtra?
