RR vs CSK Live Score, IPL 2023: Royals reach 202 in 20

 

The Rajasthan Royals have achieved a very good total on this wicket thanks to the brilliant 77 from Yashasvi Jaiswal at the start and then the 48-run partnership of just 20 balls between Dhruv Jurel and Devdutt Padikkal. Jurel’s 34 off just 15 balls was one of the biggest reasons for the Royals going past 200.

RR vs CSK Live Score, IPL 2023: Unlucky Pathirana

 

Mathessha Patihran has gone for runs tonight but most of them have come from unusual shots. For example in this over itself, two fours have gone from shots not intended to go where they went behind the wicket. On the last ball too, the ball was in the air and fell in empty space and as a result, the Royal batters ran three. In his four overs, the Sri Lankan has gone for 44 without any wickets.

RR vs CSK Live Score, IPL 2023: Mahi magic gets Dhruv

 

It was a wide ball from Pathirana, but Dhruv Jurel, in an attempt to get back to the strike, asked Padikkal to run and just a tiny bit of indecision in the middle cost him his wicket as MS Dhoni was bang on from behind the stumps and hit the bullseye with splendid accuracy. Jurel was way short of the crease.

Dhruv Jurel hit Tushar Deshpande for a four and a six on the fourth and fifth ball of the 19th over and then took a single to keep the strike for the 20th. On the first ball of the 20th, he hit Pathirana for a six as well It was a full toss and he just slapped over deep fine leg

RR vs CSK Live Score, IPL 2023: Outrageous from Padikkal

 

This has to be the shot of the day, though most coaches would call it a waste. He knew that Tushar Deshpande would target the wide yorker and premeditated to go outside off and play the scoop. He had to almost move to the wide line, but Devdutt Padikkal was able to execute the scoop properly and get a four off it.

RR vs CSK Live Score, IPL 2023: Theekshana gets Hetmyer

 

Shimron Hetmyer has been removed by Maheesh Theekshana and the run-scoring hasn’t been ideal either for the Royals. They have scored only 28 runs in the last four overs. With only three overs remaining, Jurel and Padikkal would have to add at least 30-40 more runs to challenge the Super Kings.

RR vs CSK Live Score, IPL 2023: Pathirana bowls a fantastic 16th over

 

Matheesah Pathirana is really turning up the heat in the death as he conceded only seven runs in the 16th over and at least three of his deliveries didn’t touch the bat of the RR players.

RR vs CSK Live Score, IPL 2023: Two new men at the crease

 

It is a start-from-scratch situation for Rajasthan Royals as they have two new men at the crease who have used the entire 15th over to get only seven runs from it. With the last five overs, also called the death overs starting, they would really miss the set Jaiswal or for that matter Sanju Samson. At 139/3 after 15, they need at least 50 more runs to try and build pressure on the Super Kings.

RR vs CSK Live Score, IPL 2023: Jaiswal gifts his wicket away

 

There was no need to play the shot that Jaiswal did to get out. After having hit Tushar Deshpande for a four on the previous ball already, he needn’t throw his hands at a ball very wide outside the off stump. The batter could only get it in the air and was caught at point by Ajinkya Rahane.

RR vs CSK Live Score, IPL 2023: Samson out for run a ball 17

 

Sanju Samson has failed to convert yet another start as he has departed for a run-a-ball 17. Trying to hit Tushar Deshpande for a six on the rise, he got it high on the bat and could get the ball only as far as Ruturaj Gaikwad, who ran in from long-on to catch it.

After reaching his fifty in 26 balls, Jaiswal has now played 15 balls and scored only 23 runs off them. His current strike rate is 178 which is decent. But like in previous games, he has once again slowed down after the powerplay.
