Chennai Super Kings handed Rajasthan Royals a crushing 64-run defeat at MCA Stadium in match 17 of Indian Premier League (IPL 2018). Chasing 205 runs, Rajasthan Royals never looked like winning as wickets kept tumbling at regular intervals. Rahane, Klaasen, Sanju Samson, Ben Stokes, and others could not cope with the pressure of a huge total and threw their wickets away. Earlier, on the back of Shane Watson's century, CSK made 204 runs. Watson was dropped by Rahul Tripathi when he was playing in single digits. The dropped catch proved very costly. This win will improve CSK's position
