Rajasthan Royals dominated Chennai Super Kings once again, winning by 32 runs and securing their position at the top of the leaderboard. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 77 runs off 43 balls, helping the team set a target of 202 runs. CSK struggled to keep up, with Devon Conway scoring only 8 runs off 16 deliveries. Despite Shivam Dube’s 50 runs off 29 balls, CSK fell short of the target. Rajasthan Royals’ bowlers were exceptional, not giving CSK any room to settle. This win shows that Rajasthan Royals are a strong team and will aim to continue their winning streak in the future.
Player of the match Yashasvi Jaiswal dedicated this award to Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni and also thanked the RR management for the support.
I enjoyed both (on which POTM award he liked better). I was trying to hit the ball but I was aware which side the wind was blowing, but I was also clear in the mind that I have to go and play good cricketing shots. It is not about just this season, I have been putting in the effort with the team management and I keep speaking to senior players like Dhoni sir and Virat bhai. I enjoy pressure and want to be there when there is pressure. I was only thinking of keeping my strike rate high and I knew we need 200 to defend on this surface.
