Last year's runners-up, Sunrisers, are currently languishing in eighth place with three wins in nine matches. To qualify for the playoffs, the Pat Cummins-led side can't afford any hiccups and will have to win their next five games consecutively.
Who's that IPL player?
Sunrisers Hyderabad coach Daniel Vettori said that working around their batting lineup and getting the matchups right with Kamindu Mendis in the mix served the team well against Chennai Super Kings.
"That's why the likes of Kamindu came into the team. That's why there was the shuffle in the batting order, putting Heinrich Klaasen up and Nitish Kumar Reddy down, to give us a more balanced approach, particularly in a chase," he said.
"The initial plan revolved around left-right-hand combinations, partly to counter Noor Ahmad and Ravindra Jadeja and how good they are through those middle stages."
"A lot of the logic behind picking him (Mendis) was specific to this ground. We knew what sort of surface we'd encounter, and having a batsman who can play all types of spin, be aggressive, and hit a multitude of shots was the starting point," he added.
