2nd successive win for CSK in IPL8 - Brendon McCullum’s 100 not out set the tone

#IPL8 #CSKvsSRH #BrendonMcCullum #DaleSteyn #CSK #SRH Brendon McCullum did not pull his weight in the previous match of CSK and, in order to make amends, he hit an unbeaten 56-ball century against the Sunisers Hyderabad SRH at the MCA Stadium to set the tone for a second successive win for CSK in IPL8. This has been reported in www.cricbuzz.com dated 11 April 2015.

M S Dhoni won the toss and selected to bat and it was a surprise to notice the absence of Dale Steyn in the attacking team of fast bowlers - it resulted in an imposing score of 209 for loss of 4 wickets by the CSK and, to overhaul that, the SRH needed a planned attack and a dedication of a high order. But – they faltered and, in the end, lost by 45 runs.
Brendon McCullum had hit seven fours and nine sixes against a bowling attack of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Trent Boult and Ishant Sharma. Captain M S Dhoni hit 53 runs from 29 balls (4x4, 4x6) and, the ineffectiveness of the Sunrisers bowling attack was evident from the fact that Dhoni's was the only wicket to fall to a bowler – the other were run outs.
As expected, Brendon McCullum was adjudged Man of the Match.
