IPL8 – CSK suffers second consecutive loss, this time at the hands of SRH

#IPL8 #CSKvSRH #DavidWarner #orangecap CSK suffered the second consecutive loss, this time at the hands of SRH, due to the whirlwind innings of its captain David Warner who hammered the CSK bowlers to all corners of the stadium to score 61 runs off 28 balls (his 50 came in 20 balls). The final score of 197 was quite big enough but, the CSK is known for its batting power and, could have put up an equal fight but that did not happen.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 3 May 2015.

Dhoni won the toss and, unlike his normal logic, opted to bowl first. And, realized his mistake when David Warner (28-ball 61) and Shikhar Dhawan (37) put up am imposing total of 86-run in their opening stand in less than 9 overs to help SRH post 197 for seven in 20 overs.
Chennai kept losing its batsmen at regular intervals and, when Faf du Plessis (33) and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (20) came together to put upa 46-run fourth wicket partnership, there were hopes that CSK could still win.
But, the unfortunate run out of Faf du Plessis coupled with the way Dhoni went out spelled doom for the CSK.
However, in spite of the win, SRH continued to flounder at the bottom of the points table while CSK, in spite of its loss, remained in the No 1 position.
With his 5th half-century of the tournament, David Warner snatched the orange cap from Rajasthan Royals' Ajinkya Rahane.
