IPL 2022: RR jump up to 2nd spot by beating CSK by 5 wickets
IPL 2022: Match number 68 sees the inaugural IPL Champions in Rajasthan Royals take on Defending Champions Chennai Super Kings at the Brabourne Stadium.
They would look back at this IPL and hope for a much better performance next season. CSK currently are 7th, but might finish 8th if MI manage to beat Delhi Capitals.
However, Ravichandran Ashwin had an equally memorable outing and it has earned him the player of the match award.
Moeen Ali was one of the few positives for CSK tonight.
Not only did Ali score 93 runs, but also picked up a crucial wicket with his offies, giving away just 21 runs in his 4 overs.
Earlier, Moeen Ali starred with the bat, scoring 93 to help CSK to 150. Ali had a brilliant outing tonight.
Chasing down a mediocre 150 score, Yashasvi Jaiswal was the key, scoring 59 before Ashwin alongside Parag took RR over the line.
Rajasthan Royals have beaten the Defending Champions in their last game of the season by 5 wickets.
RR will play against the GT in the Qualifier 1. If they are unable to win, they will get a second bite at the cherry against the winner of Qualifier 2.
Ashwin finished on 40* from just 23 balls to help RR over the line.
A big big win for the men in Pink as they jump to the 2nd spot. Big hitting by Ravichandran Ashwin towards the end helped Rajasthan Royals beat his old franchise in Chennai Super Kings.
