In match 43 of the 2025 Indian Premier League, the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) defeated the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by five wickets on Friday, April 25, at Chennai’s Chepauk Stadium. With their third victory in nine games, SRH maintained their faint hopes of making the playoffs.
CSK was all out for 154 in 19.5 overs in the first innings after being invited to bat first. On a dry pitch, young players Dewald Brevis (42), Ayush Mhatre (30), Ravindra Jadeja (21), and Deepak Hooda (22) gave the home team respectable performances. With the ball, SRH’s premier pacer Harshal Patel took four wickets.
In response, Kamindu Mendis (32*) and Ishan Kishan (44) played respectable knocks with their peers to help SRH cross the finish line in 18.4 overs. Additionally, it was the SunRisers’ first-ever triumph over CSK at Chepauk Stadium.
Fans enjoyed Friday night’s low-scoring IPL 2025 encounter between SRH and CSK. They shared amusing memes on Instagram and X (previously Twitter) to voice their opinions. The following are a few of the top game-related memes:

MS Dhoni, the captain of CSK, offered his thoughts on his team’s poor performance during the post-match presentation.
“I think we kept losing wickets and another thing, in the first innings the wicket was a bit better. After the first few overs it became a bit two paced but nothing out of the ordinary. Yes the conditions got better in the second innings. We were 15-20 runs short. We need someone like him (Dewald Brevis) in the middle order, we haven’t been able to dominate and get runs at a good pace against the spinners in the middle overs.”
MS Dhoni
“This is the area which we need to improve. I think in a tournament like this if majority of the players are not doing well, it becomes very difficult. If four of them are not performing and putting runs on the board. We need to access the conditions and play accordingly.”
MS Dhoni
On Saturday April 26th KKR and PBKS will conduct their IPL 2025 match at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
