IPL 2021 Points Table Update: CSK Cruise Into Playoffs With Big Win Over SRH

IPL 2021: Chennai Super Kings defeated SunRisers Hyderabad by six wickets on Thursday to become the first team to qualify for the playoffs.

MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings defeated SunRisers Hyderabad by six wickets on Thursday to become the first team to qualify for the playoffs of this year's Indian Premier League (IPL). It was veteran MS Dhoni finishing off the match in his unique way -- with a maximum to secure the win for his side. With that result, SRH are now officially out of reckoning for a place in the playoffs. Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad made handy contributions with the bat to stay in race for the Orange Cap, which currently belongs to Shikhar Dhawan.
