Brilliant bowling performance by RR

Talking about CSK’s clash against RR, Dhoni won the toss and invited the Royals to bat first at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

However, Jos Buttler and Devdutt Paddikal steadied the ship and stitched a brilliant 77-run stand for the 2nd wicket.

Buttler smashed his 3rd half-century of the season and with the help of a quickfire inning by Shimron Hetmyer in the end, RR managed to achieve a fighting total of 175 runs. Ravindra Jadeja bowled brilliantly for CSK as he picked up 2 wickets and conceded only 21 runs in 4 overs. Chasing the target, CSK lost Ruturaj Gaikwad early in the 3rd over of the 2nd innings.

But Devon Conway and Ajinkya Rahane stitched a 50-run stand together, keeping the scoreboard ticking. However, the spinning trio of RR, Yuzvendra Chahal, R Aswhin, and Adam Zampa brought RR back into the game. In the end, CSK need 21 runs in the last over but Sandeep Sharma stopped Dhoni and Jadeja to get their 3rd win of the season.
