Brief Scores: Sunrisers Hyderabad 176/3 (Moises Henriques 55*, David Warner 43; Daniel Christian 1/20, Imran Tahir 1/23) lost to Rising Pune Supergiant 179/4 (Rahul Tripathi 59, MS Dhoni 61; Rashid Khan 1/17, Bipul Sharma 1/30) by 6 wickets.
For those hoping a repeat of the Yuvi-Dhoni showdown seen in MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, the day started with disappointment.
Unfortunately,our hero is not playing in today's match bcoz he is sick.

So it wasn't a surprise that the Hyderabad team management admitted they felt stranded until Henriques showed up.
Moises Henriques provided the lift when we were stranded - slamming his 3rd half-century of this season.

Meanwhile, Pune had their own struggles, and lots of fans gloating on the Aussie skipper dropping a sitter.

And with his expensive bowling and shoddy batting, Pune must be wondering whether a Fixed Deposit would have given a better return for their 14.5 crores.
The way Ben Stokes has played so far, he should get "Purple cap" for his batting and "Orange cap" for his bowling

Concerned citizens meanwhile started lining outside the Indian consulate. We wonder if they are still present after Rashid's last over catch drop.
India should give Rashid Khan citizenship. That way, they'll have a bowler who can dismiss Smith.

Pune's batting was lit up by this youngster, whom the Twiterrati couldn't stop praising.
