A large part of the win was due to local boy Gaikwad's stunning stroke-play against a lethal Hyderabad bowling attack and was well-supported by Conway, who stepped up in time to hit eight fours and four sixes. Ahead of this match, Gaikwad had just one half-century against his name.
For Hyderabad, T. Natarajan was the only bowler among the wickets with 2/42 as the side conceded only 49 runs in the last five overs after being blown away by Chennai's left-right opening pair. Chennai was off to a blistering start, thanks to the opening pair of Conway and Gaikwad.
