Asked to bat first, Chennai Super Kings were off to a poor start once again. Even before the powerplay ended, they lost three wickets. Young Ayush Mhatre was the sole bright spot in an otherwise dismal performance from Chennai Super Kings' top order once again.
Devon Conway squandered yet another opportunity to impress with the bat as he was dismissed for 10 by Yudhvir Singh. Yudhvir then dismissed Urvil Patel for a duck to put Rajasthan Royals in the driver's seat.
Dale Steyn unimpressed by Chennai Super Kings:
Chennai Super Kings sprung a big surprise during the powerplay. After the fall of the second wicket in the second over, they decided to send veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin to bat at number four. And when Mhatre was dismissed, Ravindra Jadeja joined Ashwin in the middle.
