What a shot! Suryavanshi gets a short delivery from Noor and helps it over the stands, over deep square-leg. The left-hander showing some composure today, and is building a good knock here. Excellent shot. Next ball, goes for 4! Another great cover drive by the youngster.

RR 78/1 (7.5)

CSK vs RR LIVE: SIX!

Samson goes big! R Ashwin into the attack, and Samson takes the opportunity for a big shot. High, and handsome enough in the end. First maximum for Samson. Tidy over otherwise, just 3 runs in the remaining deliveries.

RR 65/1 (7)

CSK vs RR LIVE: Glorious shot!

Suryavanshi ends the powerplay with a glorious cover drive! That’s one for the highlight reel. Stand and deliver. Classy. Not a shot we see often from this 14-year-old demon, but there you go. RR manage 56 in the first 6. They’re well in the chase.

RR 56/1 (6)

CSK vs RR LIVE: FOUR!

Samson gets 4! First boundary for the Rajasthan Royals captain, hits it back over the bowler’s head for a boundary. With Jaiswal gone, onus on the skipper to stabilize the ship and lead the partnership from here.

RR 49/1 (5)

CSK vs RR LIVE: First boundary for Suryavanshi!

Vaibhav Suryavanshi tries to block, gets a thick edge and it runs away through third man for 4! First boundary for the 14-year-old, who has started off on a slower note than usual. Khaleel, meanwhile, has been given a third straight over despite leaking runs.

RR 44/1 (4.3)

CSK vs RR LIVE: OUT!

JAISWAL BOWLED! Huge wicket for CSK! Yashasvi Jaiswal swings across the line, ends up missing it, faintest of bottom edges and Anshul Kamboj strikes! CSK have made a huge inroad here.

RR 37/1 (3.4)

CSK vs RR LIVE: 4, 4, 6, 4!

CSK vs RR LIVE: 4, 4!

RR 20/0 (2.3)

CSK vs RR LIVE: SIX!

Jaiswal goes big! Fantastic shot by the left-hander, over extra cover for a maximum. Kamboj bowling pretty well here, but Jaiswal finally gets room to free his arms and get a shot away. Jaiswal has made 6 scores of 45+ in his last 8 innings.

RR 12/0 (2)

CSK vs RR LIVE: Good comeback by Khaleel

Khaleel Ahmed comes back well after conceding a boundary on the first ball. Just 1 more run in the over. 5 off the first as RR begins things cautiously. Khaleel gets Jaiswal and Suryavanshi on the pads a couple of times, but no real appeal.

RR 5/0 (1)

CSK vs RR LIVE: First ball 4!

Yashasvi Jaiswal begins the RR run chase with a boundary! Short delivery by Khaleel, and Jaiswal gloves it past MS Dhoni and through fine-leg for 4. All eyes on Jaiswal and Suryavanshi here.

RR 4/0 (0.1)

CSK vs RR LIVE: Big feat for MS Dhoni!

MS Dhoni has completed 350 sixes in T20 cricket! He hit Riyan Parag for a maximum during the CSK batting, which was his 350th in the format. He becomes the 4th Indian to reach the milestone, after Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav.

CSK vs RR LIVE: Who gets the wooden spoon then?

Target of 188. Rajasthan Royals have made it a habit of losing winnable run chases this year, will it be the same story yet again? Let’s see what Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi have in store for us first up.

CSK vs RR LIVE: CSK finish on 187

A fabulous effort by Rajasthan Royals in the death overs. Only 17 runs in the final three overs. CSK manage 187 in the end, and really, they have been rescued big time thanks to two superb knocks by Mhatre and Brevis. 

CSK 187/8 (20 overs)
RR Target: 188

CSK vs RR LIVE: DHONI OUT!

OUT! Stunning catch! Dhoni goes for a bit of a scooped shot, but he is dismissed by a sharp catch at fine-leg by Tushar Deshpande. The ball was travelling really fast, but Deshpande shows reflexes of a cat. Dhoni manages just 16 runs off 17 balls.

CSK 185/8 (19.5)

CSK vs RR LIVE: 4!

CSK 180/6 (19)

CSK vs RR LIVE: Excellent over by Madhwal

Akash Madhwal bowls a terrific 18th over. The pacer was expensive in his first over, but has massively tightened up his line and length. Concedes just 4 runs, and controls CSK’s flow of runs a little. Deshpande to bowl the 19th.

CSK 174/6 (18)

CSK vs RR LIVE: Dhoni Review System!

MS Dhoni takes a DRS review for a wide ball call against Wanindu Hasaranga. The umpire had initially signalled it as a fair delivery. Guess what? It is a wide ball, by absolute millimetres. Two balls later, Dube slams a big six over long-off!

CSK 170/6 (17)

CSK vs RR LIVE: SIX!

Dhoni goes big! What a shot! Straight back over the bowler’s head and clears long-on with ease. Excellent shot by the 43-year-old. 150 up for CSK as well. The platform is set for the men in yellow to go big and set a 200+ score here.

CSK 137/6 (13.4)

CSK vs RR LIVE: Good over by Hasaranga

Wanindu Hasaranga had been off the field for a long time, but he has been brought on now and bowls a fine over. Concedes just 5 runs and puts a halt on the run-rate. The Sri Lankan has been RR’s best bowler so far, and has two more overs.

CSK 133/5 (13)

CSK vs RR LIVE: Dube getting into the act!

It’s Shivam Dube’s turn now! The left-hander has picked up two boundaries in quick succession. Akash Madhwal is missing his line in his first over, also bowling a wide that goes away for 4. Good timing from the left-hander to pick up a boundary after that over short-third.

CSK 128/5 (12)

CSK vs RR LIVE: Mighty shot!

Oh WOW! Dewald Brevis, what a hit! Amazing shot by the South African batter, almost in a helicopter-shot manner. Clears long-on as Yudhvir comes in to bowl his last over. Brevis is up to 33 off just 14 balls!

CSK 89/5 (9)

CSK vs RR LIVE: OUT!

Jadeja departs! Yudhvir Charak has taken his third wicket of the evening. Flicked by the left-hander and taken at mid-wicket by Jurel. CSK are 5-down, and Shivam Dube and Dewald Brevis are now at the crease. MS Dhoni is up next!

CSK 70/4 (6.3)

CSK vs RR LIVE: 4, 4, 4, OUT!

Three boundaries and GONE! Ayush Mhatre departs for 43 off just 20 balls. What a whirlwind knock from the 17-year-old. He slams Tushar Deshpande for three successive boundaries, but the pacer finally gets his man. Slower ball, caught by Maphaka at long-on.

CSK 68/3 (5.5)

CSK vs RR LIVE: FOUR!

Mhatre continues hitting! The 17-year-old is looking really good today. Short delivery by Maphaka, Mhatre swings hard and gets it over the slips and into the fence through third man. And the boundaries keep coming, two balls later, same result! 50 up for CSK.

CSK 32/2 (3.4)

CSK vs RR LIVE: Mhatre dealing in boundaries!

Two boundaries for Mhatre! The youngster getting into rhythm now. The first one is through mid-wicket, the next one is almost a six through the off-side. Onus now on the 17-year-old to make a big contribution, after the loss of two early wickets.

CSK 20/2 (3)

CSK vs RR LIVE: OUT!

Two wickets in three balls! Urvil Patel is gone for a duck! Yudhvir Charak has taken two wickets in one over! What a spell. Urvil goes for the heave, and it is caught by Kwena Maphaka at mid-on. CSK in trouble early on.

CSK 12/2 (2)

CSK vs RR LIVE: OUT!

Conway departs! Soft dismissal! Hits it straight to Riyan Parag at mid-off and Yudhvir Charak has taken an early wicket. Parag, however, releases the ball very quickly after catching it, inviting some criticism from commentators Simon Doull and Sunil Gavaskar.

CSK 12/1 (1.4)

CSK vs RR LIVE: FOUR!

Another great shot! Devon Conway helps it through third man, on the first delivery he faces against Yudhvir Charak, who has been handed the new ball. Conway with two early boundaries, looking in good touch.

CSK 12/0 (1.2)

CSK vs RR LIVE: FOUR!
