Rajasthan Royals (RR) despite having the favor of the toss could not keep a grip over the game as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Moeen Ali clinched victory at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday.
After CSK posted 188 on the board and lost nine wickets, they managed to defend the total in style as they won by 45 runs
Earlier, Faf du Plessis and Ambati Rayudu scored at a firing rate before Dwayne Bravo’s 20 runs off 8 balls came handy in the death overs as CSK posted 188/9 in their allotted 20 overs.
He was literally everywhere when there was a wicket needed, be it with his bowling or his exceptional fielding – Ravindra Jadeja owned the field in the second innings. The superpower was involved in six of the nine RR’s dismissals.
In fact, after taking the wicket of Jaydev Unadkat, Jadeja signaled “FOUR” with his palm showcasing that he had taken four catches. He even made a calling action and all wanted to know – “who was he calling?”
A resounding victory for @ChennaiIPL against #RR by 45 runs.
