Twitter reacts as CSK's openers nullify SRH's brilliant bowling line-up

05/13/2018

Twitterati didn't show any mercy towards Sunrisers bowlers as the Chennai Super Kings batsmen chased down the 180-run target comfortably. Ambati Rayudu and Shane Watson starred with their brilliant knocks as MS Dhoni's men moved to 16 points and took another step in the direction of qualification.

He has been nothing short of inspiring this season

Most fifty-plus scores by a captain in an IPL season:

11 - Virat Kohli, RCB 2016

9 - David Warner, SRH 2016

7 - David Warner, SRH 2015

7* - KANE WILLIAMSON, SRH 2018

And he is not a top order batsman!

MS Dhoni needs 30 more runs to reach 6000 runs in T20. He will be 5th Indian after Raina, Kohli, Rohit & Gambhir and 18th overall to reach 6000 club.

They will need to fix this issue soon

Sunrisers batting has been nothing short of abysmal. Kane has carried them and Dhawan to an extent..

This is going to be an interesting match up!

SRH have a 4-0 record batting first this season, having defended 118, 132, 151 and 146.

CSK are 4-1 in chases, having chased down 166, 203, 206 and 128.

Interesting chase coming up at Pune.

Some incredible hitting by Shane Watson today

Sandeep Sharma starts off from one end - Watson punishes him with a FOUR

Bhuvneshwar Kumar starts from the other - Watson punishes him with a SIX

Even we were wondering about the same

Am I the only one who thinks why Shane Watson retired from International Cricket?

CSK fans can’t get enough of these two!

Perfect duo

Rayudu & Watson

🔥🔥🔥 & 💥💥💥

Best opening pair in the IPL?

Rayudu and Watson are making this Run chase by CSK look even more easy than SRH’s run chase against Delhi.

Strong words coming from a CSK fan

Anyone noticed?

This so called best bowling lineup gets exposed outside their home ground, apart from that Mumbai match. Not going to win the trophy for sure.

The SRH bowlers didn’t have a good day
