RR vs CSK, IPL 2020: First-ever winners of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Rajasthan Royals, kick-off their new campaign against two-time World champion MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Sharjah cricket stadium. Flamboyant Steve Smith's Rajasthan Royals are raring to go big this year but it won't be easy as they face record 8-time finalists Chennai, the heavyweights. The onus is on Smith to ensure everything goes right for RR, who are missing the services of star players Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes.

CSK need a four of every ball now!!!!Jofra Archer who made the BIG difference with his fiery cameo for RR in the first innings, has been handed the ball to bowl the 19th over! He starts well but gets smacked for a six by Plessis in the 4th ball of the over. Archer takes his revenge by bowling a quick bouncer to get the set-batsman du Plessis out after a well-made 72 off 37 balls. At the end of 19 overs (10 runs and one wicket from it) CSK were 180/6
The FINAL OVER was Tom Curran who just had to ensure that he don't bowl extras! Mahendra Singh Dhoni managed to hit the first six of his innings and in the tournament in the third ball of the over...and it was not over of THALA as the next ball was too sent sailing out of the stadium for a SIX!!! The second-last ball was too timed sweetly by Mahi as he completed his hat-trick of sixes to bring 200-up for CSK in the chase.

Almost 15 runs are needed every over for CSK to win and Mahi is yet to come out to bat! Unadkat bowls the 13th over and just 4 runs off his first 4 balls..a bit surprising as the required run rate is much high!! The remaining two balls also fetches one run each. Time for a strategic time-out!
At the end of 13 overs (7 runs and no wicket from it) CSK were 108/4
OH GOD! What's on CSK's mind? They now need almost three runs per ball but it seems like they have decided to play risk-free..waiting for RR bowlers to bowl some loose deliveries! Archer takes Plessis catch in the over but off a no-ball by Curran. The next ball (13.4) Samson takes a stunning one-handed catch to send Jadhav back for 22 and bring in Thala Dhoni.

Tewatia misses on getting a hat-trick! Meanwhile, veteran Du Plessis is looking VERY CALM and has not so far played even a single loose shot in anger! He knows his role for sure and will aim to remain till the last over.
At the end of 11 overs (4 runs and no wicket from it) CSK were 86/4
Shreyas Gopal smacked brutally for back-to-back boundaries!!! THREE BALLS AND THREE FOURS in a row! After those lofty shots he and Plessis takes singles to end the over. 100 comes up for Chennai!

Sam Curran started doing what he did in the last game against MI...tear apart and destroy the bowlers. The young talented batsman hits back-to-back sixes BUT too many risks result in a bad end and that's what happened to Curran (17 runs of just 6 balls). Tewatia got him deceived with a wider ball and Samson completed an easy stumping. Ruturaj Gaikwad comes in at number five as fans eagerly wait for Thala Dhoni to come out in the middle! Their prayers have been heard by the the almighty but it was Gaikwad who suffers and is dismissed for a DUCK (stumped by Samson). Tewatia on a HAT-Trick now!
At the end of 9 overs (13 runs and two wicket from it) CSK were 77/4
No Dhoni for fans and all-rounder Jadhav has been sent out to bat, uses soft hands to take singles and keep rotating the strike.

It seems like the dew at Sharjah is spoiling the whole game! Meanwhile, Tewatia's first three balls goes for one run each but he gets the BIG BREAKTHROUGH for RR by taking Watson's wicket and ease some pressure! The quick slider delivery has worked for him and Watson was a bit unlucky this time.
At the end of 7 overs (4 runs and one wicket from it) CSK were 57/1
Trouble not over for RR and there's no time to relax as next man in his Faf du Plessis!! Before challenging Watson, Shreyas Gopal puts an end to M Vijay's (21) sleepy knock! Sam Curran is out at number four and starts his innings with a cool FOUR.

Smith has decided to give Shreyas Gopal an over inside the Powerplay! He is struggling with the dew already, so early in the game -- CSK openers are happy about it and maybe that's the twist they are looking for...Vijay hits him for a four and later Watson stands and delivers a BIG SIX over the grandstand. Ball is not turning at all at the moment!
At the end of 5 overs (11 runs from it) CSK were 36/0
Smith has chosen Tom Curran to file the last over of Powerplay! First two balls are good length deliveries and just one run from it BUT the next two balls are POOR SHORT LENGTH deliveries and are punished by Waston as he helps them over the fence!!! After back-to-back SIXES, 'experienced player' Watson gets a bit cheeky, pierces the gap and hits four..takes 2 runs to end the over.

Interesting! Just like RR, even CSK failed to hit a single boundary from 1st over. However, M Vijay makes his intentions clear by hitting back-to-back fours off Unadkat's over...some lovely strikes from the senior batsman! Unadkat is bowling with good pace but that's helping the batsmen more rather them him! Third ball of the over is a slower one and Vijay manages to take just one run. Fourth ball is a slower one again and Watson pushes it but no run for him. Unadkat misses the line and the next ball is a wide. Watson slogs the fifth ball for a single and Vijay also bags a single off the last ball to rotate the strike!
At the end of 3 overs (12 runs from it) CSK were 19/0
A bit surprising but Archer has been given another over in a powerplay and it was clearly a WRONG decision as Watson smashes him for a BIG SIX and will look for many for like these for sure! The second ball draws an LBW SHOUT but umpire says NOT OUT. Both CSK batters look calm and the moment and are not playing any loose shots!!

For CSK, Shane Watson and M Vijay, both senior players, come out to open the innings for their team! They will surely look to get some help from the DEW at Sharjah. Jaydev Unadkat bowls the first over for RR and skipper has one slip for him to start his over. He bowls some right lengths and gives away just five runs from his over.
At the end of 1st over CSK were 5/0
Jofra Archer bowls the second over and skipper Smith might only give him one over to bowl in the powerplay! Both openers are dealing in singles right now.

At the end of 19 overs (9 runs and 1 wicket) RR were 186/7
Ngidi bowls the final over and is welcomed by Archer in a grand fashion as he gets hit for a HUGE SIX off his very first delivery! Archer continues his carnage and the second ball is lofted for another SIX! The HAT-TRICK of sixes was completed by the all-rounder as the third-ball was too sent for another SIX! Also, a BIG no-ball by Ngidi! The FREE HIT was too sent for a six and Archer made it FOUR in a ROW!!! Fourth ball goes for just one run..fifth ball one run too and one run from the final ball as well.
THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE AND ARCHER MADE IT LOOK EFFORTLESS!!!!! RR finishes on a high! 30 runs comes from last over.

RR Loses two more wickets! Tewatia has been given LBW out by the umpire, he reviews it but the DRS shows the original decision was correct! Finally, fans get to see Riyan Parag as he's the next man in and he hits a four after facing a few balls -- looked promising but ends up literally giving away his wicket by playing a loose shot! Another wicket for Curran.
At the end of 17 overs (7 runs and TWO wickets) RR were 173/6
Last three overs will be bowled by PACERS ONLY and Chahar bowls the 18th over. Tom Curran joins skipper Smith in the middle. A mix of slower ones and slow paced short deliveries help Chahar get his edge and umpire gives him out but then decied REVIEWS it himself!!!!

The second strategic time-out has been taken. Mahi has no sixth bowler and he is not ready to give the bowl to Jadhav. Still, the plan has finally worked as Chawla takes out VETERAN Uthappa for 5.

CSK finally gets RID of on-fire Sanju Samson! The ball was a slower one and had no bat on it, Samson still tries to hit it for a biggie over the covers but doesn't time it well and the ball goes for a catch to deep cover! Next comes in Miller, who also loves grounds with short boundaries. Another slower one from Ngidi and Miller and Smith tries to complete a single but its a failed attempt and Miller (Run-Out) is short of the crease! At the end of 12 overs (5 RUNS and Two Wickets) RR were 134/3
Veteran batsman Robin Uthappa is the new man in and faces his former KKR teammate Chawla! He's beaten by a clever delivery from Chawla and is stumped my Mahi but is safe.

After the desperately needed strategic time-out, Jadeja comes back into the attack but looks like Steve Smith and Samson are just getting started here! Huge shout by Jadeja for LBW against skipper Smith but umpires says no and Dhoni decides not to review it. Smith takes a single to bring Samson on strike and the over comes to an end. At the end of 9 overs 100 comes up for RR and they were 100/1
Chawla is a senior but he continues to bowl it fuller and is again brutally smashed for sixes!! He is asking for it and RR batters are literally punishing him at the moment. Can Chawla avoid getting hit for 50 run tonight?

Samson is really pushing it hard to rotate the strike. He is moving a lot to create room for himself. Samson takes full advantage of the short ball from Curran and hits it for a six.

Chahar is back into the attack and bowls the third over of the Powerplay! Chahar tries another short ball but with very low pace and gets hit for a six by Samson over square leg! Chahar has completely lost his line and length!
