Ruturaj Gaikwad is there for a chat. He says that the wicket was holding a bit initially and they started really well. Adds that his plan was to bat till the 13th over. Goes onto say that he looks to time the ball and looks to clear the boundary. Tells that at the end of the day, the team score matters and individual score does not matter a lot unless it helps the team. States that he timed the ball really well and he knew he hit a six on the last ball. States that they need to bowl well and execute their plans.

Right then! Rajasthan's batters have their task cut out as they have to get 190 runs from 20 overs! Chennai would be confident going into the chase as they have enough runs on the board to defend. Join us for the chase in a while.

Rajasthan did start well with the ball and at the halfway mark they would have been the more happier side. Rahul Tewatia bowled really well and picked up crucial wickets of Faf du Plessis, Suresh Raina and Moeen Ali. But the other bowlers went for plenty of runs and were not able to stop Rututaj Gaikwad's juggernaut. Chetan Sakariya also got into the wickets column but the damage had already been done. All in all, it was not the best of bowling performances from Rajasthan and their bowling at the death was too predictable.

Chennai would be pretty happy with the total they have posted on the board. Chennai's openers, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis started steadily and got their team to a decent start. They lost couple of wickets in quick succession but Gaikwad went along his merry way and held one end nicely. Moeen Ali came in at number 4 and he too scored some crucial runs in the middle overs before getting out. Gaikwad changed gears once Moeen Ali departed and he played some incredible strokes to which Rajasthan bowlers had no answers to. Jadeja came later in the innings and he too hit a few lusty blows to take Chennai to a massive total. But it was all about Ruturaj Gaikwad who hit a six off the last ball of the innings and got to his hundred in some style.

This has been a brilliant batting effort from Chennai after having put into bat first, led by their classy, young batter in Ruturaj Gaikwad. He has been simply brilliant for Chennai in this season and this time he has made sure to convert his start into a hundred. Rajasthan would be a touch disappointed as they have leaked few runs at the fag end of the innings.
