RR vs CSK highlights, IPL 2021: Dube, Jaiswal hit blazing fifties, RR beat CSK by 7 wickets to stay alive

That's it! Rajasthan Royals are well and truly alive in the IPL. They have beaten Chennai Super Kings comfortably by 7 wickets and 15 balls to spare. What a chase this has been and it was scripted by two Indians - Shivam Dube and Yashasvi Jaiswal.

SIX! Don't bowl there, not at your pace Sam Curran. It was nothing delivery and Phillips, who eats these sort of deliveries for breakfast smokes it over deep mid-wicket. RR inches away from victory now. 

FOUR! Phillips almost ran 30 metres to hit that slipped-out-of-the-hand full toss from Sam Curran. He couldn't. But in the free hit, he smashed it past the covers to collect his first boundary in the IPL. 

OUT! Sanju Samson has to go for 28. Shardul Thakur gets his second wicket. Is it too late for CSK? RR 170/3, need 20 off 26 balls

FOUR! Cracked away! A full ball, outside off. Dube slashes it over covers for a boundary. The long off fielder runs across but to no avail.

FIFTY for Shivam Dube. What an innings this has been for the all-rounder. His maiden IPL fifty off 31 balls. What this innings has done, is that it has kept the pressure on CSK and in fact, almost taken the game away from them. 

Hazlewood to Samson: Four! Amid all the big hitting from the left-handers, Samson shows a touch of class. It was not good delivery from Hazlewood mind you. It was on the pads and Samson just clips it away in the gap. RR's 150 is up in 12.4 overs. 

SIX! Shivam Dube, what have you eaten for breakfast today? A full toss from Sam Curran, the second one of the over, and Dube is not missing those. He hit the first one for a boundary and the next one is a maximum. RR 141 for 2 after 11.4 overs. 

SIX! Looked like he didn't get all of it but boyt it cleared the long-off boundary quite easily. Such is the power of the lanky left-hander. If CSK thought the troubles have ended after Jaiswal and Lewis, now another left-hander Dube is hurting them. 

SIX! Dube can hurt the spinners and he is doing that to the CSK ones right now. A short one from Moeen, Dube rocks back and pulls it away deep into stands. 

SIX! How big is that? Really really big! 97 metres. Shivam Dubey hits a monster six off Ravindra Jadeja. He can be dangerous against the spinners. And this one was right in his slot. 100 up for RR. 

FOUR! Captain leading from the front! A full ball, on off from Moeen Ali. Sanju Samson reverse-sweeps it through point for a boundary.

OUT! KM Asif strikes on his first ball. Jaiswal's blazing innings comes to an end. He departs for 50 off 21 balls. A dream start for Asif. He bowled a bumper. Jaiswal, who had played the pull shot so well, got a glove to it and Dhoni was not going miss it. RR 81/1 after 6.1 overs

OUT! The carnage has ended, at least from Evin Lewis' end. Evin Lewis is out for 27 off 12 balls. The opening stand of 77 has been broken by Shardul Thakur. RR 77/1 after 5.2 overs.

SIX! This is just unbelievable hitting from the left-hander. He didn't event realize he has brought up fifty off 19 balls. He is some sort of trance. A slower one from Hazlewood, picked up early and Jaiswal hit it over mid-off for a six. RR 75/0 after 5 overs. 

SIX! SIX! FOUR! This looks like a highlight package now. Young Yashasvi Jaiswal is taking apart an experienced Australian fast bower in Josh Hazlewood. He has no answer to this onslaught. 14 runs in 4 balls already. 

SIX! Out of the park she goes. This is breathtaking batting from Evin Lewis. There is nothing that Dhoni can do except to admire. Another short one from Thakur, Lewis this time, smashes it right from the middle of the bat to hit it over square leg for a six. 

Thakur to Lewis: FOUR! A change in bowling but no change in result. A slower ball from Shardul Thakur but didn't get the line right. Lewis rocks back and pulls it away for a boundary. 

What a start for the Rajasthan Royals! Jaiswal and Lewis have given a flying start to the RR innings. They are 41/0 after 3 overs, chasing 190 for victory.

SIX! FOUR! Evin Lewis now joins the party. Oh sure it is one going on at the moment in Abu Dhabi. RR's left-handed opening pair has made sure CSK have some scares in this match. 

Jaiswal ends Hazlewood's over with two more boundaries. Just the start the Rajasthan Royals wanted. They have moved to 24 for no loss after 2 overs. 

It went miles up in the air, possibly had snow when it came down and Rayudu, who did his best to station himself underneath it, could not hold on to it. Jaiswal gets a life and also a couple of runs. 

FOUR! EDGY! Good-length ball, just outside off. Yashasvi Jaiswal looks to drive on the up but it goes off the outside edge past the slip fielder and into the fence.

FOUR! Uppish but in the gap. Yashasvi Jaiswal gets off the mark with a confident cover drive. 

Sam Curran has the new ball for CSK. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Evin Lewis are the openers for RR. Lewis is on strike. They need a god start.
