Subhabrata Mukherjee :-
On Monday evening Chennai Super Kings (CSK) took on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the 12 th match at Wankhede stadium, Mumbai. This game was in contrast to the Punjab game that Chennai played at Wankhede was totally different. After that low scoring one sided one ,this game proved to be a high scoring encounter or rather a high scoring thriller. Sad for the Dhoni fana that he again failed with the bat. Now take a look at the 5 talking points from the match that we think worth discussing



∆ No CSK batsman crossed 40 run mark,Still they posted 188 :-

It was a collective effort from the Chennai batsmen as no one even crossed the 40 run mark but still Chennai posted huge 188 runs on the board from their 20 overs. Du Plessis scored 33 runs,Moeen Ali scored 26 and Rayadu scored 27 runs.



∆ Sakariya again shines with the ball :-


Young left arm pacer Chetan Sakariya was again at his best with the ball in hand. He was making life difficult for the CSK batters as he returned with a figure of 4 overs 36 runs and 3 wickets.



∆ Buttler quickfire 49 runs :-


In the absence of Ben Stokes, English wicket keeper batsman Jos Buttler opened the innings for Rajasthan. In the pursuit to win 189 runs Jos Buttler played a brilliant quick fire innings of 49 runs from just 34 balls before he was bowled off the bowling of Ravindra Jadeja.




∆ Jadeja started the mini collapse:-


Rajasthan was once crusing in their chase when they just lost 2 wickets for 89 runs. From there on a mini collapse happened for Rajasthan. Ravindra Jadeja triggered the same as he cleaned up Buttler and trapped Shivam Dube infront of the stump.



∆ Moeen Ali brilliant with the ball :-




Moeen Ali was unplayable for Rajasthan batters as they lost 5 quick Wickets while scoreboard added less than 10 runs on the board. Mooen took 3 wickets out of those 5. In his 3 overs he just gave away 7 runs and took 3 wickets.
