Brilliant bowling under pressure from Abdul Samad! Conceded 11 runs in the first two balls (including four-wide), he held the two batsmen to singles over the next three balls. Great composure for an 18-year-old!

Hammered straight! Too full and Dhoni goes straight. It runs like a tracer bullet!

Talk about pressure. Dhoni comes down the track, Samad bowls way outside the leg stump and Bairstow misses an easy stumping!

HAMMERED! Gets a short ball and he absolutely tonks it away to deep square leg for a six.

Both hands on his knees! Well, that's a first. MS Dhoni has called for a physio, he looks tired as he ran two successive twos after the boundary.

Length ball, a little slow and Dhoni pulls it towards deep midwicket! Poor misfield from Abdul Samad.

This indeed looks serious. Stops in his run-up for the third time and Bhuvneshwar Kumar is now walking off the field. Khaleel Ahmed takes the ball.

Bhuvneshwar has struggled twice with his run-up and is now receiving medical attention. He has bowled only one ball in the over so far. Is this the match-changing moment? 

More importantly, though, hope it's not a serious issue with Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Sam Curran takes off from where he left two matches ago! First ball, pretty short and Curran pulls it away to deep backward point!

CAUGHT! An entertaining innings comes to an end. Jadeja gets a short ball and he pulls but finds Abdul Samad at deep backward point.

Full toss and gets the deserved treatment. 50 for Jadeja! But the job is far from done here. CSK still need 51 off 15 balls.

DROPPED! Manish Pandey drops Ravindra Jadeja on the long-off boundary and the ball sails for another four.

THREE IN A ROW! Is this the over which changes things for CSK? This one was down the leg side and Jadeja simply pushes it towards the fine leg boundary.

Brilliant shot this time!

LUCKY! Jadeja wanted to pull it but finds an inside edge. Bairstow fails to collect the ball and it sails to the boundary. 

A little short and Dhoni pulls it to deep square leg. Many, many of those still needed if CSK wants to remain alive in this chase.

CSK needs more of those. Jadeja steps out and lofts the ball over the long-off boundary.

Six overs remaining in the game and the task becomes difficult by each passing over. One over of Rashid Khan, two of Bhuvneshwar still left. This looks tough for CSK.

Much-needed boundary! Only the seventh four of the CSK innings, and first for Jadeja in 18 balls. Natarajan attempted a yorker but fails, as Jadeja flicks a full toss away to third-man.

Only five runs off the last two overs from Rashid Khan and Khaleel Ahmed. Required run-rate has towered up to over 15 runs/over.

Rashid Khan has conceded only five runs in three overs so far. The pitch has assisted him but the CSK batsmen have preferred caution over glory while facing the leg-spinner. Lessons learnt from DC's poor effort against the spinner in the last match.

Doesn't move an inch, cool as you like. A little bit too full and Dhoni hits it over the bowler's head.

Dream start with the ball! Dismisses Kedar Jadhav on his very second delivery of the IPL! Jadhav looks to drive but the ball travels straight into the hands of David Warner at silly mid off.

Nevertheless, the ice-man is now at the crease. After a lot of discussion over his batting order, it finally seems he has arrived exactly when he needed to. 7 overs gone, CSK are 40/3. Need 125 runs to win in 78 balls.

This could stir some controversy. The ball did hit the stumps, but it seemed like the bails came off only after Bairstow's gloves hit the stumps. Will MS Dhoni point this out in the post-match interaction? This could be interesting..

This could be another big blow!

Barely connects it this time but gets the boundary!

SLAMMED! Runs down the track, goes under the ball and lofts it straight over the bowler's head.

AN ABSOLUTE PEACH! Kept it on the length after he anticipated Rayudu stepping down the track. The batsman was slow to decide and hurriedly plays a defensive shot, misses the line altogether and ball hits the stump.

A pre-meditated paddle sweep from Faf this time. A length ball and Faf lofts it straight over the wicketkeeper's head. Towards the fine-leg boundary for a four.

A confident cover drive for the South African batsman. Faf comes down the track and hits his first boundary of the innings.

The first boundary for CSK comes on the 24th ball of the innings. A low full toss and Rayudu sends the ball sailing to deep midwicket. 

The consistent pressure has reaped rewards! Watson goes for a aggressive square cut but finds a thick inside-edge which hits the stumps. 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Khaleel Ahmed have kept it tight for both the CSK batsmen in the first two overs. Only four runs off the first two overs.

Surprise! It's Faf du Plessis with Shane Watson in the chase.

It was a poor start from SRH, and by the 11th over, they had lost four wickets on 69. However, Priyam Garg (51*) and Abhishek Sharma (31) steered SRH to a strong total of 164/5 in 20 overs.

Another free hit!

Fantastic batting from Priyam Garg. Knew the onus was on him after Williamson's unfortunate run-out, gave himself time and unleashed some brilliant strokes to steer SRH back in the game.

Slower ball and Garg waits. Gets below the ball again, and lofts it towards the deep fine leg. Absolutely brilliant from the youngster.

Finally! Abhishek goes for a pull shot but finds the edge. Easy catch for Dhoni.

Feel for Chahar here. Two catches dropped and now a top-edge runs to the boundary - all in the same over. Garg goes for the pull and ball travels to the deep fine leg boundary.

Catch dropped by Jadeja!

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT FROM THE YOUNGSTER! A cheeky shot behind square on the off-side. That was a back of the length delivery but Garg waits and waits, and opens the face of the bat at the perfect moment.

WOW! Batting from the highest class. Curran keeps it low and Garg bends, gets below the ball and lofts it towards the deep square leg.

BRILLIANT SHOT! Above the waist but Garg remains unfazed. Times it in the same area as the previous deilvery. Pressure on the English youngster.

WHAT A SHOT! That wasn't a bad ball at all. A yorker outside off but Garg opens the face of the bat and sweetly times it towards the deep backward point.

Much-needed boundary. Short ball and Priyam Garg pulls it towards the backward square leg. SRH 111/4, four overs to go. Strategic Timeout taken. 

First six of the match! Abhishek Sharma has slammed the ball to deep midwicket. A relatively short-pitched ball and Sharma gets to open his arms.

Abhishek Sharma gets a gift from Piyush Chawla here. Way down the leg side and Sharma simply guides it to deep fine leg.

WOW! BIG BLOW FOR SRH!  That has come against the run of play. Williamson flicks towards the mid-wicket and runs. However, Priyam Garg hardly responds which leaves the Kiwi batsman stranded in the middle of the pitch. Easy run-out.

WHAT A COMEBACK! Googly from Chawla this time. Warner steps out and lofts the ball towards long-off, couldn't get the distance this time and Faf du Plessis takes a brilliant catch!

Poor length and Warner punishes! Pulls it towards the leg side and gets an easy four.

Reverse-sweep! Brilliant shot towards the third-man boundary. A little too quick from Chawla and Warner simply uses the pace to guide the ball.

A similar cross-seamed delivery this time too. But the Kiwi batsman goes for a drive towards deep extra cover. Good start from Williamson.

A cross-seamed delivery outside off! Manish Pandey attempts to clear the mid-off again but finds Sam Curran this time.

A beauty from Deepak Chahar to dismiss the dangerous Jonny Bairstow:

Dwayne Bravo is set to bowl his first over of IPL 2020.

Attacking intent from Pandey. Chahar goes short and Pandey pulls it towards the midwicket. Not the best of timings but easily clears the inner circle.

Goes to the long-on this time! A fullish delivery and Pandey lofts it over the bowler's head.

Brisk start for Pandey. Chahar gets the swing again but Pandey plays with a straight bat, gets the ball in the middle and guides it straight beside mid-off. Third boundary for the batsman.

Curran is trying to generate swing like Chahar. A length ball and Pandey sweetly lofts it over the mid-off. 

A successful first over from Deepak Chahar. Curran would be aiming to maintain the pressure.

Outside edge and a lucky boundary. Wide outside off and Manish Pandey went for a cover drive, but gets a thick edge. The ball goes over the second slip and runs to the boundary.

BOWLED! First wicket for CSK in the fourth ball of the innings. Great seam position and Bairstow completely fails to read the line. SRH 1/1 in 0.4 overs!

David Warner and Jonny Bairstow are on the crease.

Warner's last five scores against CSK:

Ambati Rayudu and Dwayne Bravo have returned to the playing XI for the Chennai Super Kings. A much needed boost for the side!

Sunrisers Hyderabad XI: D Warner, J Bairstow, M Pandey, K Williamson, P Garg, A Samad, A Sharma, R Khan, B Kumar, K Ahmed, T Natarajan

Chennai Super Kings XI: S Watson, F du Plessis, A Rayudu, K Jadhav, MS Dhoni, R Jadeja, DJ Bravo, S Curran, D Chahar, P Chawla, S Thakur 

David Warner has won the toss and opted to bat against CSK.

Kane Williamson made a brilliant return to cricket, scoring 41 off just 26 balls in the tough conditions at Abu Dhabi against DC. SRH would be hoping for a similar show tonight! 

CSK coach Stephen Fleming had earlier confirmed that both, Dwayne Bravo and Ambati Rayudu are available for selection against SRH. A big boost for the side ahead as they aim for a strong comeback in the tournament.

Thangarasu Natarajan shined for the SRH in their win against Delhi Capitals earlier this week, as he held the likes of Rishabh Pant, Shimron Hetmyer and Marcus Stoinis with a barrage of yorkers.

Watch as he shares his experience of playing with SRH here:

CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will become the most-capped player in IPL history when his side takes on the SRH later tonight. It would be his 194th IPL appearance - one more than teammate Suresh Raina. 

Both, Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad face a must-win game, with both reeling at the bottom places of the table. CSK won the opening game of the season but have since faced successive losses, while the SRH won their first match of the season on Wednesday against Delhi Capitals.
