RR 164/4 (16)

CSK vs RR LIVE: OUT!

Bowled! Noor Ahmad gets a wicket! Another blow for RR. Inside edge and onto the stumps. Parag is gone. Victory is well in sight for Rajasthan Royals, but they’ll be wary of messing it up once more from here.

RR 158/4 (15.4)

CSK vs RR LIVE: Jurel on song

Dhruv Jurel is determined to finish the game today. Another smart shot. Noor’s delivery drifting down the leg side, Jurel gently caresses it through fine-leg. Good shot by the wicket-keeper batter, a great show of intent so far.

RR 157/3 (15.3)

CSK vs RR LIVE: SIX! FOUR!

Jurel goes big! Smacks a six off Ravindra Jadeja! Superb shot, over mid-wicket. Next ball, he times it through fine-leg for a boundary. Jurel hasn’t managed to take his team over the line in many matches this season, but can this finally be the day? RR need 38 runs off 30 balls.

RR 150/3 (15)

CSK vs RR LIVE: SURYAVANSHI OUT!

BIG WICKET! Massive wicket! Ashwin gets his second wicket! What an over this could be in the context of the game. For once, Suryavanshi mistimes it, and Ravindra Jadeja takes the catch at backward point. 

Are RR going to fall apart once again?

RR 138/3 (14)

RR 134/1 (13)

CSK vs RR LIVE: SIX! 50 for Suryavanshi!

FIFTY FOR SURYAVANSHI! What a knock this has been! No ball by Noor, and the free-hit is sent out of the park. 27 balls to get to the milestone for the freak 14-year-old wonderkid. Today, he has shown maturity beyond his years.

RR 125/1 (12)

CSK vs RR LIVE: 6 more! 100 up for RR

SIX MORE, Suryavanshi! Jeez, this kid has some power. Short delivery by Jadeja, Suryavanshi slams it over mid-on for a maximum. Two balls later, another maximum! Over mid-wicket this time. Suryavanshi into the 40s.

RR 110/1 (11)

CSK vs RR LIVE: RR with the rate

Rajasthan Royals are going at slightly better than the required run rate here. 95 in the first 10 overs. They need 93 more in the final 10. Two set batters at the crease, who will need to keep building the partnership here, given the fragility of their middle order.

RR 95/1 (10)

CSK vs RR LIVE: SIX!

Samson takes Ashwin to the cleaners once more! The delivery drifting away from the leg-stump, Samson times it really well to send it over deep square-leg for a maximum. 50 partnership up between Samson and Suryavanshi.

RR 91/1 (9.1)

CSK vs RR LIVE: Great over by Pathirana

Matheesha Pathirana is introduced into the attack by MS Dhoni, and he bowls a fine over. Concedes just 3 runs, puts the brakes on the RR scoring rate. The men in pink and blue are well with the required run-rate at this stage. 

RR 85/1 (9)

CSK vs RR LIVE: 6, 4, 4!

Another cracking cover drive! Vaibhav Suryavanshi with a powerful shot through the covers, smashes it for another boundary off Noor Ahmad. Expensive over by the Afghan chinaman. Suryavanshi up to 27 off just 14.

RR 82/1 (8)

RR 78/1 (7.5)

CSK vs RR LIVE: SIX!

Samson goes big! R Ashwin into the attack, and Samson takes the opportunity for a big shot. High, and handsome enough in the end. First maximum for Samson. Tidy over otherwise, just 3 runs in the remaining deliveries.

RR 65/1 (7)

CSK vs RR LIVE: Glorious shot!

Suryavanshi ends the powerplay with a glorious cover drive! That’s one for the highlight reel. Stand and deliver. Classy. Not a shot we see often from this 14-year-old demon, but there you go. RR manage 56 in the first 6. They’re well in the chase.

RR 56/1 (6)

CSK vs RR LIVE: FOUR!

Samson gets 4! First boundary for the Rajasthan Royals captain, hits it back over the bowler’s head for a boundary. With Jaiswal gone, onus on the skipper to stabilize the ship and lead the partnership from here.

RR 49/1 (5)

CSK vs RR LIVE: First boundary for Suryavanshi!

Vaibhav Suryavanshi tries to block, gets a thick edge and it runs away through third man for 4! First boundary for the 14-year-old, who has started off on a slower note than usual. Khaleel, meanwhile, has been given a third straight over despite leaking runs.

RR 44/1 (4.3)

RR 31/0 (3)

CSK vs RR LIVE: 4, 4!

Jaiswal continues scoring runs! Great shot. Short delivery, well outside off-stump. Jaiswal stands tall and punches it through the point region. Next ball, he goes up and over mid-off, and slams it for another boundary. 

RR 20/0 (2.3)

CSK vs RR LIVE: SIX!

Jaiswal goes big! Fantastic shot by the left-hander, over extra cover for a maximum. Kamboj bowling pretty well here, but Jaiswal finally gets room to free his arms and get a shot away. Jaiswal has made 6 scores of 45+ in his last 8 innings.

RR 12/0 (2)

CSK vs RR LIVE: Good comeback by Khaleel

Khaleel Ahmed comes back well after conceding a boundary on the first ball. Just 1 more run in the over. 5 off the first as RR begins things cautiously. Khaleel gets Jaiswal and Suryavanshi on the pads a couple of times, but no real appeal.

RR 5/0 (1)

CSK vs RR LIVE: First ball 4!

Yashasvi Jaiswal begins the RR run chase with a boundary! Short delivery by Khaleel, and Jaiswal gloves it past MS Dhoni and through fine-leg for 4. All eyes on Jaiswal and Suryavanshi here.

CSK vs RR LIVE: Big feat for MS Dhoni!

MS Dhoni has completed 350 sixes in T20 cricket! He hit Riyan Parag for a maximum during the CSK batting, which was his 350th in the format. He becomes the 4th Indian to reach the milestone, after Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav.

CSK vs RR LIVE: Who gets the wooden spoon then?

Target of 188. Rajasthan Royals have made it a habit of losing winnable run chases this year, will it be the same story yet again? Let’s see what Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi have in store for us first up.

CSK vs RR LIVE: CSK finish on 187

A fabulous effort by Rajasthan Royals in the death overs. Only 17 runs in the final three overs. CSK manage 187 in the end, and really, they have been rescued big time thanks to two superb knocks by Mhatre and Brevis. 

CSK 187/8 (20 overs)
RR Target: 188

CSK vs RR LIVE: DHONI OUT!

OUT! Stunning catch! Dhoni goes for a bit of a scooped shot, but he is dismissed by a sharp catch at fine-leg by Tushar Deshpande. The ball was travelling really fast, but Deshpande shows reflexes of a cat. Dhoni manages just 16 runs off 17 balls.

CSK 185/8 (19.5)

CSK vs RR LIVE: 4!

Misfield and a welcome boundary for CSK! Anshul Kamboj gets a boundary away. First boundary in 15 deliveries for CSK, who have found it tough in the last overs. Parag with a misfield in the deep. Dhoni to face the final two balls!

CSK 185/7 (19.4)

Tushar Deshpande now bowls a superb 19th over! Only six singles, and a few half chances too. RR really tightening the screws in the death overs here. Dube and Dhoni struggling to put the big shots away. CSK are 20 runs away from 200.

CSK 180/6 (19)

CSK vs RR LIVE: Excellent over by Madhwal

Akash Madhwal bowls a terrific 18th over. The pacer was expensive in his first over, but has massively tightened up his line and length. Concedes just 4 runs, and controls CSK’s flow of runs a little. Deshpande to bowl the 19th.

CSK 174/6 (18)

CSK vs RR LIVE: Dhoni Review System!

MS Dhoni takes a DRS review for a wide ball call against Wanindu Hasaranga. The umpire had initially signalled it as a fair delivery. Guess what? It is a wide ball, by absolute millimetres. Two balls later, Dube slams a big six over long-off!

CSK 170/6 (17)

CSK vs RR LIVE: SIX!

Dhoni goes big! What a shot! Straight back over the bowler’s head and clears long-on with ease. Excellent shot by the 43-year-old. 150 up for CSK as well. The platform is set for the men in yellow to go big and set a 200+ score here.

CSK 159/6 (16)

CSK vs RR LIVE: SIX!

What a shot! Shivam Dube comes down the track and sends Hasaranga’s delivery into the stands over mid-wicket! Excellent shot by the left-hander. Dube boasts a good record against Hasaranga, this is a favourable match-up for him.

CSK 145/6 (14.4)

CSK vs RR LIVE: OUT!

Brevis is gone! The South African has played a handy knock, but he departs. Inside edge, chops it onto his stumps. Akash Madhwal gets a wicket. And hear that! ‘Dhoni, Dhoni’ all around the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi!

CSK 137/6 (13.4)

CSK vs RR LIVE: Good over by Hasaranga

Wanindu Hasaranga had been off the field for a long time, but he has been brought on now and bowls a fine over. Concedes just 5 runs and puts a halt on the run-rate. The Sri Lankan has been RR’s best bowler so far, and has two more overs.

CSK 133/5 (13)

CSK vs RR LIVE: Dube getting into the act!

It’s Shivam Dube’s turn now! The left-hander has picked up two boundaries in quick succession. Akash Madhwal is missing his line in his first over, also bowling a wide that goes away for 4. Good timing from the left-hander to pick up a boundary after that over short-third.

CSK 128/5 (12)
