That ends another lopsided game. There is a certain change in the norm now. Initially, it was the teams winning while chasing but from the past week, they are more comfortable while defending. Tomorrow is the weekend and we have a double-header coming our way. The first game will see Kolkata hosting Punjab at 1600 local (1030 GMT) and then later in the evening, Bangalore will welcome Delhi at 2000 local (1430 GMT). Do tune in for that. Until then, goodbye and cheers!
No surprise, then! Shane Watson has been adjudged the Man of the Match as he scored a rollicking ton and chipped in with a wicket. An all-round show from Watto!
Dhoni and his men will be really happy tonight. The Chennai bowlers were taken for aplenty in the past few games but tonight, they have come together and delivered in an emphatic manner. Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur did the damage at the start while Shane Watson and Dwayne Bravo chipped in latter. Only Imran Tahir was taken to the cleaners but otherwise it was a clinical show from their bowlers. The fact that Ravindra Jadeja and Karn Sharma weren't required much in the chase, should give a huge boost to the Men in yellow going forward in the tournament.
A thumping win for Chennai tonight! It was Shane Watson's brilliance that set things up for them as the Aussie blazed his way to a ton to pilot his side to 200. When you chase a huge total, the start in the Powerplay is always the key. Rajasthan just couldn't do that, they lost three wickets inside the first six overs that more or less dented the chase. The wickets kept falling at regular intervals as none of the batsmen showed a stomach to fight. Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler did contribute but never it seemed like they were in the hunt. To put it in a better way - they just delayed the inevitable.

Karn Sharma To Ben Laughlin OUT!
OUT! And Karn Sharma wraps things up! We have lost the count of the bowlers who have picked up two in two this season. A leg break, quicker through the air and turning away from a length just a bit. Laughlin hangs back to push it away but gets a faint edge to Dhoni who takes it really well. CHENNAI BEAT RAJASTHAN BY A HUGE MARGIN OF 64 RUNS!
Ben Laughlin is the last man in.

Karn Sharma To Jaydev Unadkat OUT!
OUT! Bowled 'em! That's wicket number 50 for Karn Sharma in the Indian T20 League. Sends in a googly, it's on the stumps, Unadkat gets down to unleash another slog but that's too good for him. Goes under his bat and rattles the furniture behind.

Shardul Thakur To Stuart Binny OUT!
OUT! Phenomenal stuff from Shardul Thakur. He's pumped with that effort. Why wouldn't he be? Stunning. Short of a good length on middle, Binny gets a top edge on the leg side as he looks to pull. Thakur runs to the ball himself, dives to get his right hand under it and then holds on to it as well. A well-deserved wicket.
