Chennai Super Kings have beaten the Rajasthan Royals by 5 wickets. Sameer Rizvi finished it off with 2 boundaries in a row to help the team win with 10 balls remaining. Crucial 2 points for those in Yellow as they move to 14 points.
Sameer Rizvi walks In As CSK's impact sub. CSK need 21 from 24 balls. They need 21 runs from 24 balls.
Jadeja Given Out Obstructing the field. A decision that is sure to be debated for times to come. Umpire reckons Jadeja saw the ball and changed the direction of his running to come in between the throw and the stumps. CSK-121/5 after 15.5 Overs.
Nandre Burger Removes Moeen Ali. CSK third wicket down. CSK- 86/3 after 11.5 Overs but they are in course to a successful chase.
Chahal gets Mitchell Out LBW. Umpire did raise his finger and even though the batter opted for a review, the on-field decision remained stayed. Mitchell out for 22 off 13. CSK-67/2 aftrer 7.5 Overs.
End Of Powerplay. Not a bad one for CSK despite the wicket of Ravindra. CSK- 56/1 after 6 overs as Ashwin concedes 11 runs off his second over. Daryl Mitchell- 20* off 10, Ruturaj Gaikwad- 6* off 8.
Daryl Mitchell in at 3 for CSK.
Ashwin strikes. The off-spinner gets rid of Ravindra who falls for 27 off 18. Caught off his own bowling after Ravindra only managed to hit that one straight up in the air while trying for a big hit. CSK- 32/1 after 3.4 Overs.
Chennai Super Kings are off to a brisk start in this chase. Ravindra the aggressor at the moment. A six off Sharma's first over and then a SIX and FOUR off Boult's second as CSK fetch 12 runs off the over. They are 28/0 after 3 overs.
Sandeep Sharma from the other end for RR.
Out Come The CSK Openers, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra. Trent Boult with the new ball in hand for RR.
Rajasthan Finish At 141/5. A six and a single to finish things off for RR and it's come off the bat of Parag who remains unbeaten on 47 off 35. Can RR defend 141/5 or will CSK keep their dream alive?
Parag comes back for a second. W,W, 1, 2 so far. What a final over.
Single! First run off the 20th over, it's come off the bat of local boy Ashwin who is playing for RR.
Deshpande strikes twice in two balls to start the 20th over. RR- 131/5 after 19.1 overs.
Third wicket in the innings for Simarjeet. RR captain goes for an aerial stroke but does not get the elevation. Straight to mid off where Gaikwad takes the catch. RR- 91/3 after 14.2 Overs.
Riyan Parag gets a life as Theeksana spills an easy catch off Jadeja. First ball of the 12th over that. Jadeja eventually concedes 6 runs. RR- 74/2 after 12 overs.
10 Overs bowled. Halfway through the innings and it does not seems like a high-scoring pitch at all. RR are reeling at 61/2 after 10 overs. Surely need the Men in Pink need an accelerated phase somewhere in this latter half as Riyan Parag and Sanju Samson stand in the middle.
It's the second wicket for Simarjeet and RR now lose both the openers. Buttler goes for the lap, perhaps in a bid to find the boundary with runs drying up, Deshpande with the catch at long leg. RR- 49/2 after 8.1 Overs as Buttler departs for 21 off 25.
Sanju Samson In At 3 for RR.
SImarjeet strikes. It's a short-pitched ball and Jaiswal goes for the pull but only manages a top edge that is caught by Ruturaj Gaikwad inside the circle.
That's the end of powerplay. RR finish at 42/0 after 6 overs. Maheesh Theekshana has bowled 3 of the 6 overs, 0/23. Jos Buttler- 18* off 17, Yashasvi Jaiswal- 24* off 19.
Bowling Change. Shardul Thakur now comes in to bowl one change and Jaiswal smashes him for two boundaries in the over as RR fetch 9 runs off the over. RR- 36/0 after 5 overs.
Seems like RR have finally broken free. Jaiswal ups the ante now. A six and a four from Theeksana's second and CSK's fourth over. 13 runs off the fourth. RR- 27/0 after 4 overs.
Sedarte start for RR. Only a boundary from the first three overs. RR- 14/0 after 3 overs with Buttler finding the first boundary of the innings in the third over, Deshpande's second.
Action gets underway at Chepauk. It's Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal who are opening for Rajasthan Royals. Tushar Deshpande, Maheesh Theekshana the new ball bowlers for CSK.

IPL 2024 CSK vs RR Live Score, Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals: This is a must-win game for CSK who have blown hot and cold and now find themselves in a do-or-die situation with 12 points from 12 matches. Injury troubles have hurt CSK's chances big time but they are not a team that goes down without fighting. The form of Ajinkya Rahane will also be a cause of concern with Shivam Dube's returns with the bat in his recent appearance for the Men in Yellow have also been paltry.

CSK have a slight edge with 15 wins from these games with RR coming out on top on the other 13 occasions. In the current season though, RR have been one of the most complete teams of the tournament and will be deseperate to get 2 points and head to the IPL 2024 Playoffs.
Will it be CSK who will come out on top in this game or will RR confirm a berth in the race to the Playoffs and make CSK's entry into the final four all the more difficult? We shall find out over the course of the next few hours.
