CSK Struggle vs RR, Post Season’s Lowest Score Batting First
MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat first against Rajasthan Royals on Monday night. That was about all that went the former Indian skipper’s way as the team managed to score just 125 runs in their 20 overs.
Ravindra Jadeja, batting at number 6, was the top-scorer for CSK with his unbeaten 35 and his 51-run partnership with MS Dhoni was the highest stand of the innings.
Dhoni came out to bat at the fall of Sam Curran’s wicket in the 9th over when the team was 53/3. He batted till the 18th over before getting run out on 28. The team’s score was 107/5 in 17.4 overs.
The slow pace of scoring during the middle overs meant CSK managed to post a below par 125/5 in their 20 overs.
CSK have made two changes in their XI today with all-rounder Dwayne Bravo out injured for a few matches and taking his place is Josh Hazlewood. Leg-spinner Piyush Chawla got to play in place of Karn Sharma.
Rajasthan placed Ankit Rajpoot in place of Jaydev Unadkat.
