An ardent fan of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) came up with a silence gesture after their team's win against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday, April 28.
Chennai Super Kings returned to their winning ways with a convincing 78-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad. After posting a total of 212/3, thanks to brilliant performances by skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad (98), Daryll Mitchell (52) and Shivam Dube (39), CSK bundled out SRH for 134 in 18.5 overs.
Tushar Deshpande led the bowling attack as he picked four wickets (4/27) while Matheesha Pathirana (2/17) and Mustafizur Rahman (2/19) took two scalps each.
After Chennai Super Kings won the match, the crowd at the Chepauk Stadium burst into joy and excitement as the Yellow Brigade continued their unbeaten run at the home venue. However, an ardent CSK in the crowd did a silence gesture towards Sunrisers Hyderabad's team. The picture of the same went viral on social media.
The 'silence' gesture gained popularity after Australia Captain Pat Cummins commented on the ODI World Cup 2023 Final against India that there's nothing better than making the crowd go silent in the sport. Cummins and Australia had the last laugh as they defeated the Men in Blue to win the record-extending sixth triumph.
After Sunrisers Hyderabad roped in Cummins for a whopping INR 20.5 crore, the SRH fans celebrate the team's victory by putting finger on their lips as indirectly trolling the opposition's teams.

In response to the target of 213, SRH openers Travis Head and Abhishek gave a blazing start as they scored 21 runs in 1.5 overs until the latter dismissed for 13. Thereafter, Abhishek stay at the crease ended after he was dismissed for 13 at 21/1. Both the openers were dismissed by Tushar Deshpande.
Heinrich Klassen (20) and Nitish Rana (17) failed to deliver their best in SRH's hefty run-chase. Aiden Markram stepped up for the team but not contributed enough as he scored 32 off 26 balls before he was dismissed by Matheesha Pathirana. Abdul Samad (19), Shahbaz Ahmed (7) and skipper Pat Cummins (5) were dismissed cheaply.
Mustafizur Rahman took the final wicket for Chennai Super Kings by dismissing Jaydev Unadkat and handed the team a convincing victory.
