Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, Indian Premier League 2020 Match 14: In Pics

David Warner-led Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and opted to bat first against Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 14 of the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Dubai International Stadium on Friday.
