RR vs CSK Updates: Points Table 🪜📊

After this victory, Royals have finally acquired their first win of the season after two tough losses. They are now currently stationed at ninth position with two points to their name. On the other hand, Super Kings, after winning the first games, have lost two consecutive matches to fall to seventh position with two points as well, but a slightly better net run rate than Royals.

RR vs CSK Highlights: Match Summary 🏏

As it happened, CSK's skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss and opted to bowl first in Guwahati, where Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson opened the innings for the Royals. Jaiswal was dismissed early by Khaleel Ahmed for just four, while Samson lost his wicket for 20. However, the major star of tonight's show was Nitish Rana with his incredible 81 off just 36 deliveries, including five massive sixes. He was well partnered by Riyan Parag with a 28-ball 37 to help the Royals touch the 182-run mark in their 20 overs, losing nine wickets. Noor Ahmed was again the pick of the bowlers alongside Matheesha Pathirana and Khaleel Ahmed, as they all grabbed two wickets apiece.

On the other hand, the Super Kings had a rather poor start with Rachin Ravindra falling to Jofra Archer early. Jofra Archer and Tushar Deshpande were bowling excellent lines and lengths to hold the CSK batters and that's when Rahul Tripathi and Ruturaj Gaikwad started to take charge. Tripathi came good with a few shots, but lost his wicket to Wanindu Hasaranga for 23. However, skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad continued his batting show with a 44-ball 63, as he lost his wicket in the 16th over. On the way, Hasaranga picked Shivam Dube, courtesy of an excellent catch by Riyan Parag for 18, while Vijay Shankar was cleaned up by the Sri Lankan as well, making it his fourth wicket of the night.

After Gaikwad's departure, it all went down to the wire, with 54 needed off 25 deliveries when the experienced MS Dhoni walked in. The match then again saw some twists and turns, where CSK reached a point where 39 were needed off the last two overs and 19 came off penultimate one. Despite all that, CSK needed 20 of the last over against Sandeep Sharma, which they failed to do, as the veteran quick only gave away 13 in the last over to hold CSK for 176. Jadeja played a decent 32-run hand off 22 deliveries, but couldn't see the chase through, as CSK lost yet another encounter. Jamie Overton gave it a whack in the last over, but nothing more than that as RR won the game by six runs in the end. Wanindu Hasaranga proved a match winner for the Royals with a spell of four for 35 in his four overs.
