IPL 2022 Highlights RR vs CSK: Jaiswal, Ashwin secure 5-wicket win for Rajasthan against Chennai

We will be back tomorrow for the all-important game between DC and MI. A win for DC will knock the RCB out, while a loss would ensure Faf and co's meeting with LSG in the eliminator.

“We have done well in patches. Important thing is to do well as a team. Crucial thing is to make the most of an opportunity if you are a bowler or a batter. It's not a one-year tournament, you keep coming back year after year. Key is to keep going as a player for the next 10-12 years.”

“I'd say (we were) 10-15 runs short although the start is always crucial. If you don't start well, even 180 may not be enough. Overall, I'd say 15 runs short.”

Rajasthan Royals win, courtesy a wide from Pathirana.

This is still RR's game to lose. Yashasvi is nearing his fifty, while Devdutt Padikkal will be looking to make it count after throwing away a couple of good starts in his last few matches.
