Here's what the men who matter said:
Daryl Mitchell: Obviously really nice to get over the line on what is a slow wicket. Nice to get the win and we go again. The way the boys bowled up top, put pressure on them and restricted them was great. The spinners did a great job in the middle. I'm not sure what number was par, it's harder in day games. It's just working in partnerships. For me when I come in, recognising the new ball is the best time to bat. Rutu was there at the end and did an amazing job. It's having communication with each other, matchups and knowing who you can take down. It is about constantly adapting. Always happy, it's pretty cool to play in front of a crowd like this. Noise like this makes us feel lucky.
Sanju Samson: I think after the powerplay the message was slow and two paced. Hence after the powerplay the score we were expecting was 170, we were short 20-25 runs. Simarjeet bowled really well. We are not really sure what to expect from away games. We thought batting first was the better option. They had a better idea of what to chase being used to playing here, we thought it would have been slower in the second innings, but the wicket was instead better. When you play at night chasing is a no brainer due to the dew. The pitch gets heated up during summers so I expected the wicket to slow down in the second innings. It's normal to keep on thinking about qualification, need to focus on what is under our control. I would like to tell my team mates need to focus on things that are in our hand. Need to focus on the process and hope to win the next game.
CSK win
Rizvi hits the winning runs, and CSK get two valuable points for themselves.
Five needed off 12
Should be an easy chase.
SIX
A huge six to ease the target and Ruturaj Gaikwad has been excellent this evening for the Super Kings. Turning out to be a captain's knock.
FOUR
Impact Player Sameer Rizvi hits a boundary.
Jadeja is OUT
The all-rounder has to walk back for obstructing the field, and the fifth wicket is down for 121.
Ashwin has the last laugh
Dube departs after taking Ashwin to cleaners. Excellent brainwork by the spinner to hand RR their fourth breakthrough.
Dubeeeeeee
A six and a four off Ashwin to narrow down the eqaution. The chase becomes easier for CSK.
13 overs done
Shivam Dube joins Gaikwad. 92 for 3.
WICKET!
Moeen Ali departs without troubling the scorers much. Nandre Burger gets rewarded for tight bowling. Also a good catch by Avesh Khan to end Moeen's stay.
11 overs done
Seven runs came off that one.
End of 10 overs
CSK are 77/2 and need 65 off 60 to win this one.
8 overs done
67 for the loss of two after eight overs, as Moeen Ali joins his skipper.
WICKET. Chahal strikes
Yuzi gets a wicket to bring a big sense of relief for the Royals. Daryl Mitchell is gone.
Burger gets eaten
Gaikwad slams Nandre Burger for a huge six. The seventh over produces 10 runs.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) continue their ongoing IPL (Indian Premier League) 2024 campaign by taking on Rajasthan Royals (RR). Both sides lock horns at the renowned MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai in the 61st game of the tournament on Sunday, May 12. With 12 matches played, the defending champions find themselves in fourth place in the standings with six wins and six losses.
The Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side currently has 12 points to their name and has a net run rate of 0.491. The five-time champions are coming off a 35-run defeat in their previous game against Gujarat Titans. However, the side will look to put the loss behind them and hope that they can produce a different outcome in their upcoming game.
On the other hand, RR sits in second place in the standings. With 11 matches played, the inaugural champions have won eight matches and lost the remaining three. The side will be coming into the game after losing their last two games against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals, respectively.
It is also worth noting that if RR manage to defeat CSK, the Sanju Samson-led side will once again sit atop the IPL 2024 standings with 18 points to their name in 12 matches, and will become the first time to officially qualify for the playoffs.
