Chennai Super Kings Beat Rajasthan Royals By 5 wickets In Low-Scoring IPL 2024 Thriller

• The Indian Premier League 2024 will continue its riveting action as CSK will take on RR in Match 61 on Sunday, May 12 at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. CSK are coming into the game on the back of a 35-run loss against GT. Under the leadership of their new skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, Chennai began the season with back-to-back against RCB and GT.

The five-time champions further went on to win two out of their next four fixtures and were comfortably placed in the top four spots. However, they could only win two out of their last six games which puts them in a precarious situation on the table. Ranked on the fourth spot with six wins from 12 matches having 12 points to their name, CSK need to win both of their remaining fixtures for smooth qualification to the playoffs.

Otherwise, they will have to depend on other teams’ results if they win just one out of the next two games. On the other hand, Rajasthan ruled the top spot on the points table having won eight out of their first nine games. However, they had to relinquish their position after back-to-back losses against SRH and DC.

The Sanju Samson-led side is currently placed on the second spot with eight wins from 11 matches having 8 wins to their name with 16 points. With just one win away from the playoffs spot, RR will look to give their all in the upcoming fixture and seal their berth by edging past Chennai in the upcoming fixture while CSK will be desperate to register a win to keep their playoffs hopes in their own hands.
