In Match 37 of the Tata IPL 2023, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) defeated the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by a score of 32 runs. CSK fell to third place as a result of this result, while RR rose to the top of the points table. Batting first, RR posted a powerful 202/5 of every 20 overs.
Opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a stunning half-century (77 runs off 43 balls) to propel RR’s batting effort.CSK appeared to have returned to the match thanks to some tight bowling in the middle overs after an 86-run opening stand by RR.
CSK responded with a score of 73/4 in 10.4 overs, with Ruturaj Gaikwad being the only batsman to make an impact up until this point. Some hopes of a close finish were sparked by lustful blows from Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, and Ravindra Jadeja; however, it was almost certain that it was a case of too little, too late.
(4 – 0 – 24 – 0) were the stars with the ball for RR.In light of this, let’s examine three advantages that CSK gained from their defeat to RR.
1ST-Shivam Dube is in the middle of a huge downturn:
Shivam Dube made another great half-century, scoring 52 runs off 33 balls, which gave the CSK score some respectability.
Dube has struck three back to back half-hundreds of years in his last three innings with the bat. In seven innings this season, Dube has scored 236 runs at an enormous strike-pace of 157.33 and a noteworthy normal of 33.71.
2nd: Maheesh Theekshana creates a web of opposition:
On a day when his team lost more than 200 runs, Maheesh Theekshana bowled another impressive spell.Theekshana took Shimron Hetmyer’s crucial wicket in his four overs and gave up just 24 runs at an economy rate of just six runs per over. As Theekshana’s mystery spin approaches its business end, CSK will heavily rely on it.
3RD: Ruturaj Gaikwad puts on yet another strong performance for CSK:
Ruturaj Gaikwad was the only player in the top order who seemed at ease and was scoring at a good rate as the RR bowlers bowled excellent lines to restrict the CSK batsmen and chase a massive total.
With 5 boundaries and 1 six, Gaikwad scored 47 runs in just 29 balls at an impressive 162.07 strike rate. Ruturaj Gaikwad is ranked No. Devon Conway is ranked No. 3 4 in the Orange Cap race, CSK will be really glad with the great type of their openers.
