(12 May) IPL Points Table: Chennai Super Kings strengthened their position for qualification in the TATA IPL 2024 Playoffs as they came up with an extraordinary performance against Rajasthan Royals. CSK handed RR the third loss in a row and RR are still not qualified officially. Below is the IPL Points Table Updated On 12th MAY after CSK vs RR.
CSK vs RR Match Summary
It was a must-win match for CSK to make a high ground for the qualification against DC, RCB and LSG and they showed their best performance out in the field. Winning the toss, Sanju Samson opted to bat first. It looked like a dry surface but there was certainly help for pacers.
Kudos to Tushar, Thakur, and Theekshana as they kept the RR openers at bay in the powerplay. They shut batters like Jaiswal and Buttler down in the batting powerplay which is not as easy as it sounds. Simarjeet drew the first blood by dismissing Jaiswal and took Buttler in his second over. The proceedings just got worse for RR moving forward.
Simarjeet also dismissed skipper Samson in the 15th over leaving RR selfshoked. However, an impressive 47 by Riyan Parag and 20-odd runs from Jurel helped RR to post 141.
It was all up to the CSK batters and the powerplay. Rachin Ravindra got CSK a flying start along with the skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad. Daryl Mitchell also played a crucial knock in the middle. However, there was a flurry of wickets in the middle overs that would have made RR fans a little hopeful but it didn’t last long as skipper Gaikwad led his team home with a mature innings.
He got good support from Shivam Dube and young sensation Samir Rijvi. Following a good team effort at the right time, CSK won the game with 5 wickets remaining.
