Shane Watson bounced back to form with a glorious 53-ball 96 as Chennai Super Kings thumped Sunrisers Hyderabad by six wickets at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here yesterday to reclaim top spot in the points table.

Manish Pandey (83 not out) and David Warner (57) helped SRH post 175-3 in 20 overs. Watson, however, made light work of the target with some incredible hitting. The Australian's dismissal in the 18th over ended an 80-run partnership for the third wicket with Ambati Rayudu (21). With nine runs required off the final over, Kedar Jadhav's (11 not out) six brought the equation down to two off four balls. In the end, CSK won with one balls to spare.
