Chennai Super Kings defeated SunRisers Hyderabad by 13 runs at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune to secure their third win of IPL 2022 after MS Dhoni returned as CSK’s captain on Sunday. Nicholas Pooran’s 67-run knock went in vain as Mukesh Choudhary’s four-wicket haul propelled CSK to their 3rd win of the season.
