What's the story

Chennai Super Kings beat table toppers Sunrisers Hyderabad by 8 wickets. Batting first Sunrisers set a target of 180 but MS Dhoni's men chased down the target with 6 balls to spare. Ambati Rayudu scored his maiden IPL hundred to see the yellow brigade through. Twitter went crazy as Rayudu proved to be too good for the best bowling attack.

SRH's bowling has been below par in last 2 games

In two consecutive games #SRH’s bowling has gone for plenty. #DD in the previous game...#CSK in this one. Also, in both #CSKvSRH games, plenty of runs were scored. #CSKvsRR

Does Williamson have something to worry about?

Last 2 games the bowling has not been upto the mark for @SunRisers is it a concern? Batting has become better but bowling just might be a slight concern for Williamson. Well played Rayudu.
