The thrilling high-voltage Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL 2025 encounter resulted in a significant 5-wicket victory for Sunrisers Hyderabad in Chennai. The turning point of the match — and the moment of the match — was the dismissal of Dewald Brevis, who was in a position to lead CSK to a healthy total.
CSK Fails to Capitalize Despite Dewald Brevis Innings
With the Chennai Super Kings batting first at home, they struggled to reach only 154 runs with Dewald Brevis providing a cameo but explosive innings. The South African big gun made a rip-roaring 42 runs, and the SRH bowlers were bowling the ball to the outfield while the CSK batsmen were taking advantage and putting the visitors on the back foot early.
That all changed with Kamindu Mendis’ spectacular catch at long-off to dismiss Brevis. After Brevis’ dismissal, CSK’s batting lost momentum.
Key Contributions from CSK Batsmen
Although Brevis was the pick of the lot, other contributions were:
Ayush Mhatre – 30 runs

Shivam Dube – 22 runs
Deepak Hooda – 22 runs
Ravindra Jadeja – 21 runs
But none could stabilize the innings or take the score beyond a par total on the slow Chennai pitch.
SRH Bowling Unit Dominates
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s bowlers put together a professional display. Harshal Patel set the standard by bowling with aggressive yet perfect control. His 4-0-28-4 were key in restricting CSK to a sub-par total.
He was supported well by:
Pat Cummins – 2 wickets
Jaydev Unadkat – 2 wickets
Kamindu Mendis – 1 wicket and a brilliant continuation that would define the match
