Presentation ceremony..

David Warner -- Man of the Match:Great support, even though there is plenty of yellow they are a fantastic crowd. Some times in our chases we have been a bit hesitant and that's why I tried to bat 20 overs. Against the Kings I thought the wicket was a bit tough. Credit to Jonny, we complement each other really well.

Kane Williamson -- SRH captain: Very good performance all-round. Obviously CSK started really well with the bat and we couldn't take early wickets, but we played really well in the back half and we took our chances in the field as well. We always need to adapt to the wicket, and we'll look to build on this performance. Rashid has been an outstanding performer for us over the years and on such surfaces he is a big threat for the opposition. Now every game is different and we need to do the same for our next one. Warner's was a match-winning knock along with Jonny. We weren't quite ourselves in the last few matches and we wanted to come back to doing what we've always done well.

Suresh Raina -- CSK captain: I think it is a very good wake up call. I think we didn't put a decent score on the board and kept losing wickets. Faf and Watson gave us a good start but we could not capitalize. We lost too many wickets in between and that's why it cost us the game. We should have looked for partnerships and should have rotated our strike better. Hence, we were 30 runs short. He (MS Dhoni) is feeling better. His back was stiff. Probably he will play in the next game against RCB. He (Imran Tahir) has been giving us breakthroughs. You just throw the ball to him and he delivers. He has been bowling really well. As long as senior players are there, you just need to do well as a unit.

Last year's finalists - Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad - square off for the first time in IPL 2019. Not much has changed for the defending champions. The players are the same, the consistency is the same and hence they sit pretty at the top of the points table. The same cannot be said about Sunrisers Hyderabad. They got back David Warner and with the addition of Jonny Bairstow have formed a fearsome opening combo, but injury to regular skipper Kane Williamson has hampered them in the middle order - an area that needs immediate attention and correcting.

Two more wins for CSK should get them into the playoffs for a 10th time and with the way Dhoni has led them, it is a matter of time. SRH have lost three on the bounce and are desperate in search of a win to get their campaign back on track. However, there record against the southern neighbours read 4-0 last season. Can they change their fortunes? Hello and welcome to the live blog for this game.
