- CSK lost the match by a massive margin of eight wickets, as it took only 12.1 overs for RR to chase down the 128-run target.
- Parag won the toss and opted to take the field first.
- The move worked wonders, as the RR bowlers wasted no time in sending both the CSK openers packing.
Background
What led here, in plain terms:
- Nandre Burger put up a rampage on display with his lethal left-arm seamers, whereas Jofra Archer too kept things tight from his end.
- Ravindra Jadeja , back in RR after a gap of 214 matches, also struck twice in his first over itself.
- Jamie Overton was the highest run-getter for Chennai, scoring a well-compiled 43 off 36, but it could not help CSK post anything beyond 127, as they were bundled out in the 20th over.
- The chase was never going to be a difficult task for the hosts, especially with the presence of a daunting opening pair of Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal .
