Having lost to Kolkata Knight Riders by a mere four runs, they soared against Mumbai Indians, posting IPL\u2019s highest total of 277\/3 on their home turf. But just as quickly, they lost to Gujarat Titans by seven wickets in the away game for their second loss in three games. <br \/>The 2016 champions will again bank on home comforts when they host defending champions <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/teams\/chennai-super-kings\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" target=\"\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"noopener\">Chennai Super Kings<\/a> at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium on Friday. <br \/>Sunrisers\u2019 captain <!-- -->Pat Cummins<!-- --> had said that they want to make their home a fortress and would like to build on the momentum from their previous victory at home against Mumbai Indians in a high-scoring thriller. <br \/>But whether the Sunrisers will have the crowd rooting for them remains to be seen. If the lead-up to the match is any indication, the venue should be a sea of yellow as the city braces for the <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/mahendra-singh-dhoni\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" target=\"\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"noopener\">MS Dhoni<\/a> factor. <br \/>That apart, the hosts need to sort out their batting inconsistency. While <!-- -->Travis Head<!-- --> has had the desired effect at the top, the same can\u2019t be said of Mayank Agarwal, who has struggled in the last two outings. His inability to maintain a healthy strike rate may push the management to consider Rahul Tripathi. <br \/>Heinrich Klaasen<!-- --> (167) has been their best batter along with <!-- -->Abhishek Sharma<!-- --> (124) and Head (81). The trio will come into the match brimming with confidence following their blitzkriegs on this surface. While Head hit an 18-ball half-century, Abhishek notched up SRH\u2019s fastest fifty in 16 deliveries, both against Mumbai. <br \/>The SRH bowling also needs to get its act together against a batting lineup filled with world-class players. Veteran <!-- -->Bhuvneshwar Kumar<!-- --> has been disappointing and it needed all of Pat Cummins\u2019 expertise to pull things back when MI threatened to cut loose. But the 20-run loss to DC in Vizag has exposed CSK top-order\u2019s vulnerability against the moving ball, which the Sunrisers can capitalise on if Bhuvi gets into the act in powerplay. <br \/>Dhoni turned the clock back with his unbeaten 16- ball 37 against DC and the fans here will lap up everything he does on the field. CSK will miss the variations of <!-- -->Mustafizur Rahman<!-- -->, who is back in Bangladesh.<\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n          var s = document.createElement('script');\n          s.src=\"https:\/\/survey.survicate.com\/workspaces\/0be6ae9845d14a7c8ff08a7a00bd9b21\/web_surveys.js\";\n          s.async = true;\n          var e = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];\n          e.parentNode.insertBefore(s, e);\n        })(window);\n      }\n    }\n    window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n    var TimesApps = window.TimesApps;\n    TimesApps.toiPlusEvents = function(config) {\n      var isConfigAvailable = \"toiplus_site_settings\" in f && \"isFBCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings && \"isGoogleCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings;\n      var isPrimeUser = window.isPrime;\n      if (isConfigAvailable && !isPrimeUser) {\n        loadGtagEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n        loadFBEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isFBCampaignActive);\n        loadSurvicateJs(f.toiplus_site_settings.allowedSurvicateSections);\n      } else {\n        var JarvisUrl=\"https:\/\/vsp1jarvispvt.indiatimes.com\/v1\/feeds\/toi_plus\/site_settings\/643526e21443833f0c454615?db_env=published\";\n        window.getFromClient(JarvisUrl, function(config){\n          if (config) {\n            loadGtagEvents(config?.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n            loadFBEvents(config?.isFBCampaignActive);\n            loadSurvicateJs(config?.allowedSurvicateSections);\n          }\n        })\n      }\n    };\n  })(\n    window,\n    document,\n    'script',\n  );<\/script><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HYDERABAD: Sunrisers Hyderabad have had a mixed start to their campaign this season.
