In the match front, with wickets tumbling, Chennai Super Kings are strengthening their grip. Earlier, CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad chose to bowl first in Guwahati. Rajasthan Royals suffered an early setback as Yashasvi Jaiswal fell on the third ball, dismissed by Khaleel Ahmed. Sanju Samson also failed to capitalize, putting the team under pressure.
Nitish Rana counterattacked with a quick 21-ball fifty, shifting momentum in Rajasthan’s favor. However, Noor Ahmed and Ravindra Jadeja slowed the scoring with tight spells, denting hopes of reaching 200. Rana and Dhruv Jurel departed in quick succession, adding to Rajasthan’s struggles.
At the time of writing, the Rajasthan Royals are at 166/5. Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer remain at the crease, looking to push the total beyond 200.
