Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals, 62nd Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Akash Madhwal to Dhoni, out Caught by Tushar Deshpande!! And he falls next ball. So the move to take the strike backfires on the great man. Superb catch at short fine and even MS has a wry smile before walking back. Low full-toss outside off, Dhoni paddles powerfully and the ball is flying, Deshpande just puts his hands up and the ball sticks. Did not know much about it but somehow the ball is lodged in the hands. Dhoni c Tushar Deshpande b Akash Madhwal 16(17) [6s-1]

Akash Madhwal to Anshul Kamboj, FOUR, good strike and Parag at long-on on the run can't stop it. Samson just closes his eyes in disappointment. He is not happy. Low full-toss with tail back in, Anshul Kamboj gets forward to drive and Parag tried to stop it with his left hand and then attempted to push it back in, but the ball slips away

Akash Madhwal to Shivam Dube, out Caught by Jaiswal!! Low and flat and straight to long-on. Low full-toss outside off, Shivam Dube powers the loft but there's no placement and Jaiswal reverse-cups before tumbling backwards. Good catch as it was travelling. Shivam Dube c Jaiswal b Akash Madhwal 39(32) [4s-2 6s-2]

Hasaranga to Shivam Dube, SIX, in the slot and six. It's tossed up full outside off, the line was right but Shivam Dube gets low and then lofts, has enough to clear long-off

Hasaranga to Dhoni, wide, tossed up outside off, turns just inside the tramline, left alone and MSD wants a review for a wide, good review too as it is not inside the revised guideline and wide is given

Riyan Parag to Dhoni, SIX, the round-arm and zig-zag movement before delivery, also delivered from behind the popping crease, nothing deters MSD though, it is full and wide outside off, he waits and then gets forward to hammer it flat and straight down the ground. Again immense power

Riyan Parag to Shivam Dube, wide, down leg, full, Shivam Dube sweeps and misses, another wide

Hasaranga to Shivam Dube, SIX, there he goes. Shivam Dube gives the charge and gets under this full delivery on leg-stump, heaves and it flies miles over deep mid-wicket

Akash Madhwal to Brevis, out Bowled!! Dragged back on. Full outside off, with a hint of tail back in, Brevis gets forward to drive but the thick inside-edge rattles back on to off-stump. A timely wicket for Akash Madhwal and RR. Again a good contribution from Brevis but he promised so much more tonight. Brevis b Akash Madhwal 42(25) [4s-2 6s-3]

Akash Madhwal to Brevis, 1 run, yorker length ball, Brevis digs it towards long-on for a single

Akash Madhwal to Shivam Dube, FOUR, on the shorter side outside off, Shivam Dube guides it over backward point for four runs. Runs coming thick and fast once again

Yudhvir Singh to Shivam Dube, FOUR, short and punished! Rocks back and pulls the short ball over mid-wicket for four runs. Played it into the vacant region and found the fence

Yudhvir Singh to Brevis, SIX, Brevis on the charge! Runs coming thick and fast! Yudhvir Singh goes full and the batsman has tonked it over long-on with a powerful bottom hand whip

Riyan Parag to Brevis, SIX, 100 up for CSK! This was on the shorter side and Brevis pummels it over deep mid-wicket for a flat six. Powerful blow by the South African batsman

Riyan Parag to Brevis, FOUR, smashed away! Fraction short outside off, Brevis treks back and drills it through covers as the ball races away to the fence at the rate of knots

Kwena Maphaka to Brevis, SIX, fantastic flick! Drifting on the pads and Brevis has flicked this over deep mid-wicket with nonchalance. Got into a good position as he executed that shot to perfection

Yudhvir Singh to Jadeja, out Caught by Dhruv Jurel!! Sharp catch by Jurel at mid-wicket. This was pitched up by the bowler and Jadeja flicked it uppishly. Jurel dives to his right and plucks it out of thin air, inches above the turf. CSK have lost half their side. Need their batters to relax a bit. They are treating this game like a T10 clash. Jadeja c Dhruv Jurel b Yudhvir Singh 1(5)

Yudhvir Singh to Brevis, FOUR, first boundary for Brevis! Short of a length delivery outside off, Brevis treks back in his crease and carves it through backward point for four runs, nicely timed shot

Hasaranga to Ashwin, out Caught by Hetmyer!! Hasaranga strikes in his first over. A tossed up delivery by the spinner, right into the slot. Ashwin advances down the wicket and tries to slog this away, but can't get enough elevation. Hetmyer at deep mid-wicket takes a safe catch and that's the fourth wicket down. This is somewhat similar to how CSK batted against KKR just a couple of weeks ago. They were scoring quickly, but were also losing wickets in clusters.. Ashwin c Hetmyer b Hasaranga 13(8) [4s-1 6s-1]

Tushar Deshpande to Ayush Mhatre, out Caught by Kwena Maphaka!! Tushar Deshpande has the last laugh! After conceding three consecutive boundaries, Deshpande bounces back and removes the set batsman. This was a touch slower, pitched up by the bowler and the batsman miscued it towards long-on. Maphaka charges in from the deep and takes a good low catch. A well-judged catch.. Ayush Mhatre c Kwena Maphaka b Tushar Deshpande 43(20) [4s-8 6s-1]

Tushar Deshpande to Ayush Mhatre, FOUR, another fine shot! On the shorter side, Ayush Mhatre leaps a touch and plays an upper cut over backward point for four runs. Hattrick of boundaries for the young opener

Yudhvir Singh to Ayush Mhatre, SIX, free-hit goes the distance! On the shorter side, Ayush Mhatre rocks back in the crease and thumps it over long-on for half-a-dozen. Yudhvir Singh watches this sail into the stands in his followthrough

Yudhvir Singh to Ashwin, FOUR, short ball at the hips, Ashwin glances it away to the fine leg fence with a gentle tickle. Deft touch!

Tushar Deshpande to Ayush Mhatre, FOUR, that almost went the distance! On a length around off, Ayush Mhatre stands tall and thumps it towards long-off. Just lands in front of the cushions

Tushar Deshpande to Ayush Mhatre, FOUR, short and punished! Picks the length early and pulls the short ball over mid-wicket. Just clears the infield and that's a boundary for the young batsman

Yudhvir Singh to Urvil Patel, out Caught by Kwena Maphaka!! Two wickets in the over for Yudhvir Singh. Urvil Patel departs without troubling the scorers. The bowler goes full and the batsman tries to take the aerial route. Miscues it towards mid-on and Maphaka grabs this with a leap near the edge of the circle. Urvil Patel c Kwena Maphaka b Yudhvir Singh 0(2)

Yudhvir Singh to Conway, out Caught by Riyan Parag!! Yudhvir Singh draws first blood! Back of a length delivery around off, Conway shimmies down the wicket and chips this towards mid-off. Parag charges in and takes an easy catch. Gets rid of the ball quickly though. Should have held on to it for a little longer. Conway is back early once again. He continues to struggle this season. Conway c Riyan Parag b Yudhvir Singh 10(8) [4s-2]

Yudhvir Singh to Conway, FOUR, on the shorter side, Conway plays it late, carves this through square third man and manages to beat the fielder in the deep

Tushar Deshpande to Conway, FOUR, lovely drive! This was pitched up by the bowler and Conway creams it through mid-off for a rollicking boundary
