IPL Fantasy Tips for RR vs CSK

In yet another game that went down to the wire, Jos Buttler won it for Rajasthan Royals carrying his bat till the end with a jaw dropping 95-run knock.

It was a typical Jaipur pitch which was slow and dry. CSK won the toss and chose to bat for a change. MS Dhoni was cheeky at the toss as he said that we had a high committee meeting and decided to bat first, with Michael Slater smiling in sleeves.

After Rayudu was dismissed early by Jofra Archer, Suresh Raina showed one and all why he is such a highly rated T20 batsman. Raina set his attacking mode on as he took on the opposition bowlers with an air of nonchalance.

Raina stacked up his 3rd 50 of the season to set the stage for CSK. Sam Billings and MS Dhoni finished off well and took CSK to a decent 170 odd score.

With some contribution from Sanju Samson and Stuart Binny, Buttler remained not out all through to take Rajasthan home, with a ball remaining.

Twitter went mad after this chase.

I, a failed cricketer say: write picturesque, write insightful; otherwise don’t write. My writings are a source of self pleasure. Enjoy a fiercely fought test session much more than a slam bang T20. I write anything, as per whim- news piece, feature, opinion, editorial, preview, analysis etc. Hope to write a book one day!
