Rajasthan Royals made fun of Chennai Super Kings’ tight target of 190 as they chased it down in Abu Dhabi with more than two overs to spare. Yashasvi Jaiswal hit a 21-ball half-century as the Royals went off for a flier; They 12. were above 150 points tillth innings over. The reason for this is the poor bowling of CSK’s top bowlers including Sam Curran and Josh Hazlewood. While Curran conceded 55, Hazlewood scored 54 and CSK never looked like getting back in the game. It was one-way traffic! Full credit also to Shivam Dubey, who remained unbeaten on 64 and kept hitting sixes on time to maintain a healthy run rate throughout the innings. With this win, Rajasthan not only broke CSK’s winning streak, but also complicated the situation. IPL There are four teams in the points table with 12 points each – KKR, MI, PBKS and the Royals themselves. Barring SRH, all these four teams are currently in the race for the playoffs.

Meanwhile it was a heartbreaking moment for young Ruturaj Gaikwad, who scored his maiden IPL century and would have preferred to be on the winning side. His century (101 off 60) first ensured that he claimed the Orange Cap and dazzled the crowd who came out and enjoyed a run fest. Gaikwad smashed nine fours and five sixes in his unbeaten 101 not out off 60 balls to poke fun at the Royals’ bowling attack in their 12th round match. Some of his shots in the off-side area will be remembered for times to come.

Ravindra Jadeja (32 not out from 15 balls) smashed through Royals’ attack at the back-end for a four as CSK added 55 runs in just 3.4 overs. In fact, in the final over, Jadeja faced four balls, leaving Gaikwad with two balls to spare as he pulled Mustafizur Rahman off the final ball to complete the iconic landmark.
For the Royals, leg-spinner Rahul Tewatia (3/39 in four overs) was the most successful bowler, but Gaikwad spoiled his joy of hitting three sixes with two runs – one at long-off and the other in the over. Visible screen. The sixes at mid-wicket off left-arm pacer Akash Singh and Mustafizur were delightful as it landed on the edge of the grass at least 20 yards behind the ropes.
