CSK vs RR Live Score

6:15 PM IST STRATEGIC BREAK! Rajasthan Royals are well ahead in this chase, as they need 50 runs in the last six overs, but they have lost two wickets in the last over, and that too of both set batters. Now, two new batters will be on the crease for them, and this is the phase where the Royals have faltered in many chases throughout the tournament. On the contrary, it was looking like a one-sided chase when Samson and Sooryavanshi were batting, but Ravichandran Ashwin brought CSK back in the game with two crucial strikes. Now, they need a couple more wickets and they will think to put more pressure on the batters of RR. Will the Royals go past this time and get a win, or will CSK register a win to avoid being last in the points table? The final interesting phase is ahead, and with that, Dhruv Jurel comes out to bat.

5:56 PM IST Right then, that is it from this rather one-sided affair where the Rajasthan Royals keep the Chennai Super Kings at the bottom. Next up is a huge clash in the context of playoffs qualification as Mumbai Indians take on Delhi Capitals on 21st May, Wednesday in Wankhede. That will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but as you know, you can join us early for all the build-up to the match. Until then, cheers and goodbye!

5:55 PM IST Sanju Samson, the victorious skipper of Rajasthan Royals, says that it feels good to win the last game, and they did think about setting a target rather than risk the chase at one stage. Mentions that they have a young bowling lineup which is missing a couple of key bowlers, but it was brilliant to see the likes of Madhwal performing. Further adds that Madhwal worked very closely with Shane Bond, and eventually that has provided dividends. Mentions that it is difficult to win IPL because the game keeps changing, and even without a real difference in quality of the sides, the little things matter, and they will look to come back stronger. On young Vaibhav, he says that he has no words for him, especially that century in Jaipur, and it isn't slogging, it's proper batting, and even in this game, he showed great maturity in the middle overs.

5:53 PM IST The Rajasthan Royals openers got off to a blazing start, with Jaiswal setting the tone early with a brisk 36. After his dismissal, it was young Vaibhav Sooryavanshi who stepped up, forging a brilliant 98-run partnership with skipper Sanju Samson. The teenager continued his fine form with another classy fifty, but both he and Samson fell in the same over, causing a few jitters in the dugout. However, Dhruv Jurel stepped up when it mattered, playing a fiery cameo to guide RR home comfortably, finally breaking their jinx while chasing.

5:52 PM IST Akash Madhwal is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his excellent bowling spell.

5:49 PM IST Earlier in the game, CSK managed to put up a competitive total, thanks to crucial contributions from Ayush Mhatre, Brevis, and Dube. However, they couldn’t quite shift gears in the death overs and fell short of the explosive finish they would’ve hoped for. Yudhvir impressed with the ball, claiming three important wickets, while Hasaranga kept things tight in the middle overs with a tidy spell and a crucial scalp. Deshpande added one to his tally, and Madhwal wrapped things up with a fine three-wicket haul to keep the CSK batters in check.
