Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royal IPL 2024 Live Score: Chennai Super Kings got off to a good start with a run chase in Matchday 61 of the Indian Premier League against Rajasthan Royals at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday, but they were pushed back in the end. I managed to cross the line.
CSK kept their playoff hopes alive with a win as Ruturaj Gaikwad steered the ship home with cameos from Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell and Shivam Dube. Sameer Rizvi hit consecutive fours for the home team, posting 145/5 in 18.2 overs. The match against RCB in Bangalore will see them move to third place in the standings.
Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler got off to a steady start, but RR's innings lost momentum as Simarjeet Singh dismissed both players right after the powerplay. Singh took three wickets and Tushar Deshpande added two more wickets at the end. Riyan Parag dropped on 15 but finished unbeaten on 47, powering his RR to 141/5 on the tricky surface.
Now in a must-win area, CSK asked Sanju Samson to bowl first.
With the league stage drawing to a close and CSK struggling to maintain consistency, there is still a good chance that this will be MS Dhoni's last match in Chennai. But of course, we haven't heard anything from CSK's Thala yet, so who knows what will happen next. How much is it worth? CSK asked fans to stay at the venue after the match for “something special”.
The Super Kings currently sit in fourth place in the standings with 12 points after the same number of games and need wins in their remaining two games. On the other hand, the Royals are in second place with 16 points, but have improved from two consecutive losses against SRH and DC. After defeating Kolkata Knight Riders last night, a win today will ensure RR's place in the playoffs.
