.Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Wednesday maintained their supremacy over the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and defeated the MS Dhoni-led by 32 runs. This was second time in TATA IPL 2023, that Chennai Super Kings failed to touch the fortress of Rajasthan Royals.

Yashasvi Jaiswal exhibited his skill once more by scoring an impressive 77. Following this, Dhruv Jurel and Devdutt Padikkal added the finishing touches to help Rajasthan Royals achieve a competitive total of 202 for five against Chennai Super Kings.

Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his impressive form and quickly reached his fifty in just 26 deliveries. Jos Buttler also joined in the fun and hit a few boundaries, with the two combining to build an 86-run opening partnership. However, Ravindra Jadeja eventually dismissed Buttler after his slow knock of 27 runs, claiming one wicket for 32 runs.

After taking a wicket, the Chennai Super Kings’ bowlers were successful in limiting the number of boundaries scored by the opposition team, which led to a brief decline in the batting performance of the RR batters. This resulted in a mini batting collapse, orchestrated by the CSK bowlers.

CSK started on a stable note with openers Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad playing cautiously, but with confidence. In the sixth over, Adam Zampa struck and dismissed Conway after which the run rate slowed. The wickets kept falling at regular intervals and CSK never came back in the game.

Gaikwad and Shivam Dubey were the only two players from the team who showed some strength against the fierce bowling of Rajasthan.
