In a high-pressure situation with significant upsides to playoff issues, CSK lived up to the highest expectations, a performance that delighted every fan who viewed the LiveCricket web feed for following all the blow-by-blow and commentary replays.

 

Match Review: 

Rajasthan Royals won the toss and decided to bowl first, with the expectation of setting a challenging total on a relatively dry Delhi pitch. CSK's bowlers, however, were clinical from the start, and it was Deepak Chahar who struck first, dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal in the powerplay. Ravindra Jadeja showed his quality again in the middle overs, taking 3 for 20. RR captain Sanju Samson was fighting at 48 from 36 deliveries but lacked support from the other end. 

Although Riyan Parag hit a few late, Rajasthan was still limited to 158/7 in their 20-over limit – a total that appeared competitive but is maybe a little short given CSK's batters. 

Chennai Super Kings opened their batting with intent from ball one, with openers Ruturaj Gaikwad & Devon Conway providing a solid foundation with a 71-run opening partnership. After Conway's dismissal for 39, Gaikwad anchored the chase with a classy 68 not out with excellent timing and footwork. With MS Dhoni finishing the game in vintage style — by scoring the runs to win it with still 1 over to spare, nearing the 19th over — CSK won by a comfortable 7 wickets. 

 

Turning Point:

The 13th over saw the turning point of the game. Jadeja took two wickets in quick succession and broke all the momentum RR had built. CSK were able to control the chase for the remainder of the innings.
