Today's SRH vs CSK pitch report

Brian Lara and Samuel Badree said in their pitch report that the surface has some visible cracks, but it's not going to affect the game. They believe that a lot of runs could be scored on the pitch even though a different surface is being used, but 200 might not be a safe score, given the nature of the pitch.
