15.4

Noor Ahmad to Riyan Parag

OUT! TIMBER! Another twist in the tale? Noor Ahmad tosses the ball up a bit full and hangs it slightly outside off. Riyan Parag thinks it is the googly that is going to turn away, and reaches out to play with the spin. However, the ball holds its line and takes the inside edge before crashing into the stumps, and the CSK spinners are keeping their side with an outside chance here. RR now 4 down for 158, still needing 30 runs.

Anshul Kamboj to share the attack.

Sanju Samson walks out to bat at number 3.

Change? No, Anshul Kamboj to conitnue.

Strategic Break! Rajasthan Royals are cruising through the chase at the moment. Just one wicket down for 85 runs. And with a further 103 required in the next 11 overs, more often than not, you'd go with the batting side. However, CSK have plenty of overs of spin left, and if their spin trio can string a few good overs together, things could change pretty quickly. Let's see how the middle phase pans out.

Change? Yes, Matheesha Pathirana is back into the attack.

It is a double change here. Ravichandran Ashwin is brought back into the attack.

Riyan Parag comes out to bat at number four.

STRATEGIC BREAK! Rajasthan Royals are well ahead in this chase, as they need 50 runs in the last six overs, but they have lost two wickets in the last over, and that too of both set batters. Now, two new batters will be on the crease for them, and this is the phase where the Royals have faltered in many chases throughout the tournament. On the contrary, it was looking like a one-sided chase when Samson and Sooryavanshi were batting, but Ravichandran Ashwin brought CSK back in the game with two crucial strikes. Now, they need a couple more wickets and they will think to put more pressure on the batters of RR. Will the Royals go past this time and get a win, or will CSK register a win to avoid being last in the points table? The final interesting phase is ahead, and with that, Dhruv Jurel comes out to bat.

Shimron Hetmyer is the new batter in.

Ravichandran Ashwin will bowl out here.

Right then, that is it from this rather one-sided affair where the Rajasthan Royals keep the Chennai Super Kings at the bottom. Next up is a huge clash in the context of playoffs qualification as Mumbai Indians take on Delhi Capitals on 21st May, Wednesday in Wankhede. That will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but as you know, you can join us early for all the build-up to the match. Until then, cheers and goodbye!

0.1

Khaleel Ahmed to Yashasvi Jaiswal

FOUR! Rajasthan Royals and Yashasvi Jaiswal are underway in this chase with a streaky boundary but they won't mind it all! Khaleel starts with a hard-length ball, around middle and leg, swings back in. Jaiswal instantly looks to swipe it across but gets cramped up for room and manages to get it from his gloves.
