IPL 2019: CSK beat SRH, here are the records broken
Chennai Super Kings beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in match number 41 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019. MS Dhoni's side became the first side to qualify for the play-offs of the 2019 edition. Batting first, SRH posted 175/3 with Manish Pandey scoring 83*. Led by Shane Watson, Chennai batted superbly in the chase to nullify SRH bowlers. Here are the records broken.
Shane Watson slams a whirlwind 96
Shane Watson slammed his maiden fifty of IPL 2019 (96). The veteran cricketer also surpassed the 200-run mark in IPL 12 (243). This was Watson's 17th career IPL fifty. He also has four hundreds to his name.
A host of records for Orange Cap holder Warner
David Warner (57) slammed his seventh fifty this season. The southpaw hit three fours and two sixes tonight. He surpassed the 450 mark in terms of career IPL fours (451). Warner, who is expected to leave for international duty soon, smashed seven fifties and one hundred in 10 innings. The Orange Cap holder amassed 574 runs. Warner also registered his 43rd career IPL fifty.
Warner notches some impressive feats, equals these stars
This was Warner's sixth 50-plus score against CSK in IPL. He equalled the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. This was Warner's fifth consecutive score of 50-plus in IPL. He equalled Virender Sehwag (2012) and Jos Buttler (2018).
Some interesting individual feats achieved
Manish Pandey hit an unbeaten 83 from 49 balls. This was his maiden fifty in IPL 2019. It was also his 13th career IPL fifty. Warner equalled Shikhar Dhawan for the most fours hit this season (50). Harbhajan Singh (2/39) has raced to 143 career IPL wickets. Deepak Chahar (1/30) extended his lead for the most dot balls in IPL 2019 (126).
Raina surpasses Rohit and Kohli
Suresh Raina (38) has registered 191 career IPL sixes. He went past Rohit (190). Raina now has a total of 479 fours in IPL. He went past Kohli (473) and is the third highest in terms of career IPL boundaries.
How did the match pan out?
SRH lost Jonny Bairstow (0) right at the start. Warner and Pandey added 115 runs for the first wicket. The hosts were going well and looked like nearing the 190-mark. But credit to CSK bowlers for putting brakes on the score at the death. In reply, CSK lost Faf du Plessis (1), before Watson and Raina got along. The Aussie stole the show.
