Denting the Rajasthan Royals top-order in the afternoon game on Sunday, fast bowler Simarjeet picked up three wickets and leaked 26 runs in his four overs. Speedster Tushar Deshpande bagged a brace of wickets and conceded 30 runs as the CSK bowlers turned the tie into a low-scoring encounter at Chepauk. Leading the Royals fightback, on-song Riyan Parag remained unbeaten on 47 (35) to help Samson's RR post 141-5 in 20 overs.

In reply, opener Rachin Ravindra scored 27 off 18 balls while skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad remained unbeaten on 42 off 41 balls as Chennai Super Kings completed the run chase in 18.2 overs. Ravindra Jadeja became the third batter to get dismissed for obstructing the field in the IPL after Yusuf Pathan in 2013 and Amit Mishra in 2019. Roped in as the Impact Player in CSK’s run-chase, Sameer Rizvi scored the winning runs to keep the Super Kings in the playoff race. CSK have climbed to the third spot with the five-wicket win over RR at home. RR have retained the second spot on the IPL 2024 points table.
