RR vs CSK Live

The Chennai Super Kings opening combo of du Plessis and Gaikwad added a strong foundation with a fine partnership of 47 runs. Both Faf and Moeen Ali got some positive starts but they failed to convert them getting dismissed for 25 and 21 respectively. But Ruturaj Gaikwad looked in a stunning form especially while increasing the scoring rate after getting to his half-century. The right hander completed his half-century in 43 balls but it took him just 17 balls to complete a scintillating century. Gaikwad played a brilliant innings of 101 runs off 60 balls that included 9 fours and 5 sixes.

However, towards the end, Ravindra Jadeja once again provided his team with the best finishing touch smashing an amazing unbeaten cameo of 32 runs off only 15 balls to help the Chennai Super Kings finish with 189 for 4 on the scoreboard in their quota of 20 overs. For the Rajasthan Royals, Rahul Tewatia did pick up three wickets but all the bowlers leaked quite a few runs in their respective spells. A loss in this match will end the IPL 2021 playoffs hopes for the Rajasthan Royals.
