RR vs CSK IPL 2023 Highlights: Royals go back to top of the tabe with 32-run win over Chennai

Rajasthan Royals have gone back to the top of the table with a comprehensive win over CSK. They have done the double over CSK this season, not something that many teams can boast of in the IPL. Dube falls off the last ball of the match, holing out to Buttler at long-on after scoring 52 off 33 and CSK finish on 170/6 in 20 overs. Jaipur is happyu and sad, happy for their team, sad because the beloved MS Dhoni could not bat today. This is where he scored his legendary knock of 183 off 145 back in 2005 against Sri Lanka and there would be many still remembering that with moist eyes as he slowly bids farewell to all those grounds where he has left memories in his storied professional career. 

Six sixes to force the super over, six sixes and maybe a no ball or a wide for CSK to win it. That right there is the definition of easier said than done. Fans at the stadium won't be entirely happy though, it seems they won't get to see MS Dhoni bat today.

He has got there in 29 balls. It has been a great century, kept CSK in the chase for a long time but they are out of it now. Even sixes off all of the coming balls won't win it for them. Unless there are extras of course.

Jadeja smashes the third ball of the 18th wide of long-on for four but the previous two balls brought up just 2 runs.

Shivam Dube really is doing a job here, he has reached 46 off 25, Jadeja on 4 off 5 at the other end. CSK need 58 to win off the last 18. Very steep still but Dube is keeping them interested.

It is kitchen sink time now. Dube will be the person that CSK will be depending the most for that. He is on 31 off 20, Jadeja on 3 off 4, Jason Holder to bowl the 17th.

This one goes away from Moeen as he looks to smash it through the off side. It takes a faint upper edge and Samson takes a brilliant catch.

Moeen Ali c Samson b Zampa 23 (12), CSK 124/5 in 14.5 overs

These two have put 51 runs now off 25 balls. Moeen smashes Zampa straight down the ground for his second four.

The first ball of the 15th also goes into the stands and its Dube again. Zampa goes too full and Dube just smashes it to the leg side.

Dube is on 22 off 15, Moeen on 19 off 9. The asking rate had come down below 14 when Dube hit those two sixes but just three runs off the next four has brought it back to 14.40.

Rayudu the impact sub comes in, smashes the ball straight to deep midwicket and goes off for a duck. That tactic didn't work for CSK at all did it. Ashwin may have increased RR's winning chances to over 90 percent with this over.

Rayudu c Holder b Ashwin 0 (2), CSK 74/3 in 10.4 overs

Rahane hits it to long-on and Buttler won't make mistakes with easy catches like those. Ashwin gets the big wicket.

Rahane c Buttler b Ashwin 15 (13), RR 73/3 in 10.2 overs

Zampa beats Gaikwad in flight, the batter gets a top edge, Padikkal sprints in from long-on and puts in a dive to complete the catch. That was quite brilliant from Padikkal and a well-deserved wicket for Zampa.

Ruturaj Gaikwad c Padikkal b Zampa 47 (29), CSK 69/2 in 9.2 overs

CSK need to get a move on here. The required rate has crept up past 12. Zampa bowling his second over in the 10th.

Well revolution man Rahane is out there with Gaikwad who has looked fairly good so far. Gaikwad is on 40 off 24, Rahane on two off two.

Conway absolutely pulverises that ball straight into the hands of mid-off. Sandeep Sharma has done well to hold on to it as Conway had given it everything. Zampa gets the breakthrough and Conway for an innings that is definitely not his fastest.

Conway c Sandeep Sharma b Zampa 8 (16), CSK 42/1 in 6 overs

Gaikwad sends the fourth ball from Ashwin's over above cover and the ball goes one bounce over the rope for four.

That is how you break the shackles. Gaikwad ends that over with a four and a six. CSK are 25/0 in 4 overs, Gaikwad om 19 off 12, Conway 6 off 12.

Gaikwad slaps the fifth ball of the fourth from Jason Holder over the infield to send it to mid-on.

CSK are pretty off to the kind of start that is the opposite of what RR got off to. Conway is on 5 off 9, Gaikwad on 8 off 9. The required rate is 11.17 and CSK's current rate is 4.33.

A four off the last ball from Conway to finish the over that was bowled by Sandeep Sharma. Kuldip Yadav who has come in as an impact sub for Shimron Hetmyer will bowl the second. Hetmyer is a fantastic fielder so wonder why he has been replaced.

This is the first time any team is scoring over 200 runs at thist stadium in the history of the IPL. CSK have a very strong batting lineup that is purring right now but they have a real challenge in their hands at the moment.
