Ruturaj Gaikwad (99) and Devon Conway (85) put up a batting exhibition on show to guide CSK to a massive 202/2 in the IPL 2022 contest against SRH at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune on Sunday. Asked to bat, by SRH captain Kane Williamson, Gaikwad and Conway laid the foundation for the match to take the opposition bowlers to the cleaners.

Gaikwad and Conway eased through their respective innings to pile misery on the SRH bowlers. The right-left handed combination forged an opening stand of 182 runs before Gaikwad was sent packing for 99 runs. He smashed six boundaries and as many sixes in the 57-ball knock. After his dismissal, captain MS Dhoni, promoted himself up the order but could only contribute eight runs to the team tally. The Kiwi opener, meanwhile, smashed eight boundaries and four hits over the top in his unbeaten knock of 55 deliveries.
SRH captain Williamson utilised six bowlers with only India fast bowler T Nataraj among the wickets, returning figures of 2/42. He, however, leaked runs at the economy rate of 10.50 per over while Aiden Markram, Umran Malik and Shashank Singh were also expensive. The Jammu & Kashmir express, however, hit the fastest delivery of the season at 154 kmph. But among the poor show from the SRH bowlers, senior fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar stood out, as he bowled at a disciplined economy rate of 5.50.
