The upcoming clash Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on April 5 faces a significant hurdle as the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) grapples with unpaid electricity bills, resulting in the disconnection of power supply to the stadium. Reports reveal that the HCA owes an outstanding amount of 1.6 crore for electricity dues accumulated over seven years, despite receiving a notice in February 2024.
The Newsmeter quoted the situation, emphasizing the failure of the HCA to address the outstanding bills promptly, leading to the unfortunate disruption of electricity supply to the stadium. Despite this setback, Sunrisers Hyderabad remains a pivotal contender in the IPL, boasting a formidable squad that includes the likes of Pat Cummins, acquired for a record-breaking 20.5 crore in the IPL auctions.
Cummins’ appointment as captain, replacing Aiden Markram, symbolizes the team’s determination to achieve success under his leadership. Although they suffered defeat in their opening game against Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad showcased their potential in a historic match against Mumbai Indians, setting a new IPL record by scoring 277 runs and securing a remarkable victory.
The match against Chennai Super Kings presents an opportunity for Sunrisers Hyderabad to sustain their momentum and secure another win despite the off-field challenges. Despite the electricity issue, both teams are expected to deliver an exciting and competitive match, with fans eagerly anticipating the clash between these two IPL giants.
The IPL continues to captivate audiences with its thrilling encounters, showcasing the talent and excitement of cricket in India.
