IPL 2023, RR vs CSK Highlights: RR beat CSK by 32 runs in Jaipur

Well we hope that you have enjoyed our today's coverage of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as both team's were in good nick before RR pulled their best and secured the 32-run win. Join us again next time, until them good bye and thanks for joining. 

With Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube in good touch CSK were in the contest but Rajasthan Royals held their nerves to do a double over MS Dhoni's men in the IPL. 

RR are in total command of the contest as they try to do a double over CSK and need 51 runs off 14 balls. 

CSK have just lost Moeen Ali for 23, but MS Dhoni to arrive we are set for another thrilling end to the contest here in Jaipur. 

RR have dominated CSK from the start and have been in good touch with Ravichandran Ashwin striking twice in the 11th over. 

CSK have lost their both the openers a Ruturaj Gaikwad missed on a fifty despite getting a good start to his innings. 

Ruturaj Gaikwad has continued his purple patch and has led CSK to 50 n rapid time. They still believe that the chase is on as CSK have a big and proven line up with the batters. 

CSK have started their run chase with Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad as they try to avoid a league double in the season. 

What an end as Dhruv Jurel and Yashasvi Jaiswal steer RR to 202/5, with CSK now set to chase big total in bid to avoid a league double. 

41-year-old MS Dhoni still has it as he dismisses Dhruv Jurel for 34 as he was short of his crease. He still has magic in his gloves as RR try to near 200 on the board. 

As things stand, Tushar Deshpande is one of three names on 14 wickets as he nears the Purple Cap with half of the IPL season gone.

The pair of Jaiswal-Samson are also going well as RR are certainly targetting anything over 200. CSK's batting is their strength but they will be challenged on this big ground, with RR playing three spinners this evening. 

RR 113 for 1 after 12 overs.

Chennai was desperate for a wicket and Jadeja strikes in his second over to remove Buttler. The Englishman's returns have not been great in the past few encounters and his barren run continues. He departs for a 21-ball 27 after going for a big shot and being caught at the deep by Shivam Dube.

RR 86 for 1 in 8.2 overs. TIME FOR STRATEGIC TIME-OUT!!!

RR race to the 50-run mark inside the powerplay overs as this has been a terrific start for Sanju Samson & Co. In the recent past, they have dominated the Yellow Army. Will the script remain the same this time around? Well, too early to say!

RR 54 for 0 after 5 overs.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has been on fire for RR. The left-hander has already hit 6 fours and 1 six as RR have raced away to 42 for no loss after 3 overs. Who will MS Dhoni turn to for a wicket?

With three boundaries in the first over, RR start well. Jaiswal struck thrice off Akash Singh as the bowler searched for some late movement. RR 13/0 after 1 over.

MS Dhoni: This pitch has decent pace but the average bounce is slightly less. We are trying to build characters in our team (bowlers) and make them believe in themselves. Same side for us.

Sanju Samson: We would like to bat first. We like to stick to our strength, which is to defend. It feels really great to play RR's 200th game, feels great to be playing for 10 years. Would love to see some pink here today, but it's yellow and we know that the reason is (smiles). Boult misses out due to a niggle, Zampa is playing in his place.

At the coin toss, Sanju Samson calls it right. RR opt to bat first at the venue.

RR host Chennai in match 37 of IPL 2023 edition on Thursday evening (April 27) in Jaipur. After producing a blockbuster clash the last time they met early this season, where RR beat CSK, Sanju Samson & Co. will aim for another win over the table-toppers.
