After the match, Dhoni had a chat with Umran, passing on the knowledge of the game with the future of Indian cricket. MS is often seen giving advice and playing the mentor role for young talents. 

Umran was among two players retained by the SRH. In the last IPL, he received praise from many cricket pundits across the world. This year he is training with SRH's Dale Steyn, who has helped him improve the line and length. Umran is in the top five of the Purple Cap race which proves that he has worked on his skills and pace as well. 

What SRH and CSK need to stay alive in the Playoff race? 

CSK are back on the winning track but the road ahead is tough for four-time champions. CSK need to win all their remaining matches to stay alive in the playoff race while SRH three more wins in five games to secure the final four slot.
