Match 47 Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals

 Yet again, RAJ over Royals! 

Ruturaj Gaikwad, the Chennai Super Kings young opening batsman who has been giving the team a great start has done it. He gets a 101* off 60 deliveries. What a planned innings that was. Slow, composed and easy innings against Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals. Rahul Tewatia and Chetan Sakariya are able to weaken the middle order batsman to pretty much be there in the game. Ravindra Jadeja and Faf Du Plessis get a decent score. The Chennai Super Kings put up a wonderful score of 189/4(20) 

Well, was that Ruturaj Gaikwad enough for the entire squad? Not really. Shivam Dube, Yashasvi Jaiswal and a good going Sanju Samson are able to get to the total in just 17.3 overs. They are able to get to 190/3! 

Bowling effort of Chennai Super Kings was not able to get the crucial wickets of these already set batsman. Shardul Thakur gets 2/30(4) and bare minimum support of the rest of the bowling unit. Ruturaj Gaikwad was the Man of the Match for this game. What a well-deserved innings and award to the right team mate!
