RR Win By Seven Wickets! What an emphatic it has been from Rajasthan Royals. Jos Buttler went absolutely berserk in the end overs as RR crossed the line with 15 balls to spare. Apart from the powerplay of RR innings, CSK never really looked in the contest and their chances of making to the playoffs are almost over. On the other hand, RR keep their hopes of making it to the top four alive. Well, that's it from this coverage. Do join us back tomorrow for all the action in IPL 2020.
Sensational Striking from Jos Buttler! Be it at the top or in the middle, this man delivers regardless of the situation. After assessing conditions in the initial overs, the dasher went back to his basics and smashed CSK bowlers all over the park. As a result, the Men in Pink just need 19 runs off 30 balls to win the encounter.
So, Rajasthan Royals are 59/3 at the end of 10 overs. CSK bowlers have managed to keep the scoring rate down. However, the Men in Pink are still in better position, needing 67 runs off the last 10 overs. Steve Smith and Jos Buttler have settled their feet and will be determined to take their over the line.
To those who are thinking that it will be a cakewalk for Rajasthan Royals, they have lost three wickets in the powerplay. Not a ideal start for the Men in Pink. Nevertheless, skipper Steve Smith and Jos Buttler are at the crease and one significant partnership must take RR over the line.
OUT! Just what the doctor ordered for Chennai Super Kings. Excellent comeback by Deepak Chahar after getting smashed for a boundary. He bowled an inswinger and pierced Ben Stokes' defenses. However, the second was an absolute gift as Robin Uthappa tried to play an unnecessary flick shot which went in the safe hands of MS Dhoni. Josh Hazlewood gets the second scalp.
The players are back in the middle as the action resumes. Ben Stokes and Robin Uthappa are the two openers for Rajasthan Royals while Deepak Chahar starts proceedings with the ball.
Another mediocre batting performance by Chennai Super Kings. Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer bowled exceptionally well in the death overs as the Yellow Army was restricted to 125/5. It should be a cakewalk for Rajasthan Royals but as we know, cricket is a game of great uncertainties. Do join us back in the second half!
The run-rate is even below six after the end overs and CSK badly need some fireworks to post a competitive total. Skipper MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja are the two men on the crease and the duo have a task in hand.
OUT! Sam Curran departs as Shreyas Gopal strikes in his second over. The southpaw went for a big shot but miscued it completely, giving a comfortable catch to his England teammate Jos Buttler at long off. Chennai are in more trouble now. Sam Curran c Buttler b Shreyas Gopal 22(25)
The powerplay is done and dusted with Rajasthan Royals being the happier side. Veteran duo Faf du Plessis and Shane Watson departed without troubling the scorers much while Ambati Rayudu and Sam Curran are trying to do the repair work.

"Too many holes in the ship and when you try to plug one, there is water flowing from another," opined MS Dhoni after CSK's fifth defeat in the season. Well, that's precisely has been the case for the Yellow as they were outplayed in most of their contests. Although they put up a much better show in their previous two clashes, they are still no way near the team they used to be. Skipper MS Dhoni needs to get back in form soon if CSK want to maintain their cent percent record of qualifying in IPL playoffs.

On the other hand, too many experiments have been the nemesis of Rajasthan Royals this season. They were touted as frontrunners to lift the title after winning their first two games. However, they entirely lost the plot after that and aren't likely to go back to winning ways. Hence, they first need to identify their best combination and back their decision with the performance on the field. However, coming together as a unit in a high-voltage encounter will take some beating.
