In the 17th match of the Indian Premier League, a very exciting match was played between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals. In Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's 200th match, Rajasthan scored 175 runs based on Jos Buttler's Fifty. The Chennai team could only manage 172 runs at the loss of 6 wickets and could not win the memorable match of the captain.
Ashwin and Chahal spoil Chennai's move
Taking full advantage of his experience, R Ashwin gave big shocks to the Chennai team at the wrong time. He first dismissed dangerous-looking Ajinkya Rahane for 31 runs and then took the wicket of Shivam Dubey. Trying to recover after two setbacks, Chennai was sent back by dismissing Ambati Rayudu and then Devon Conway, who scored 50 runs.
Dhoni made the match exciting
Chasing the target, Chennai got a shock in the form of Rituraj Gaikwad in the beginning. After this, the hero of the last match Ajinkya Rahane stepped onto the field and started hitting shots in his aggressive style. Lost his wicket after adding 31 runs in just 19 balls, scoring 2 fours and 1 six. From here the team was handled by Devon Conway and at the other end he fiercely scored a fifty like Jos Buttler. The amazing thing is that he got out as soon as he scored a half-century.
At one time Mahendra Singh Dhoni needed 41 runs in 13 balls and in the last, together with Jadeja, he reached 21 runs in 6 balls. 5 runs were needed off the last ball but Sandeep Sharma's brilliant yorker managed to silence Dhoni. The captain returned after scoring 32 off 17 balls while Jadeja scored 25 off 15 balls.
Fifty of Butler, fast innings of Ashwin and Hetmyer
The start of the batting was not good for the Rajasthan team and Yashasvi Jaiswal got out cheaply. After this Jos Buttler held one end and the batsmen kept coming and going at the other end. Meanwhile, R Ashwin handled the run pace by scoring a quick 30 runs. Butler, on the other hand, completed his Fifty. Contrary to the mood, he scored fifty runs in 33 balls by scoring 1 four and 4 sixes. In the end, Shimron Hetmyer came and hit quick shots and took the score to 175 runs.
