And CSK have got over the line! A six off the last over from Jadhav eased the nerves when nine was required from the final six balls. However, it was all Shane Watson today, as he took his time early on, but regardless of who was at the other end and what the situation was, he bludgeoned the ball to all parks, repeatedly.
Earlier, a swashbucking innings from Manish Pandey coupled with a half century from David Warner steered SRH to 175, but when Shane Watsonfinds his groove, he is next to unstoppable.
CSK are back on top of the table, while SRH still need about three victories to claim qualification.
That's all from me, Akarshak Roy, hope you enjoyed this coverage. Do tune in tomorrow when Royal Challengers Bangalore host the Kings XI Punjab.
