Following an exemplary 45 runs win over Rajasthan Royals in the 12th match of VIVO IPL 2021, Chennai Super Kings find themselves 2nd on the table, following a 2nd consecutive win. While the disappointment of last season is back behind, CSK didn’t have the best of start as they lost their opening fixture against DC, but they were back in their second game against Punjab, which they won remarkably.
