 CSK vs. RR Live Score: CSK 145/5 (18.2 overs); Ruturaj's potent bowling performance propels Chennai to victory                      

IPL 2024 Live Score: Rajasthan Royals vs. Chennai Super Kings: The Chennai Super Kings were forced back after getting off to a fast start in their run-chase in the Indian Premier League's match number 61 on Sunday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, but they eventually reached the finish line against the Rajasthan Royals.

Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, and Shivam Dube made brief appearances as Ruturaj Gaikwad led the squad to victory and helped CSK maintain their hopes of making the playoffs. The home team scored 145/5 in 18.2 overs, driven by two straight fours from Sameer Rizvi. They are now third in the table and have a match against the RCB in Bengaluru.

While Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal batted first and got off to a solid start, Simarjeet Singh quickly sent both of them back, making RR's innings lack real momentum. Along with Singh's three wickets in the final over, Tushar Deshpande also claimed two wickets. Riyan Parag, who was dropped on 15, went undefeated on 47 to lead RR to 141/5 on a difficult surface.

Since the league stage is drawing to a close and CSK is finding it difficult to stay consistent, there's still a chance that this will be MS Dhoni's last game in Chennai. Naturally, CSK's Thala hasn't spoken to us yet, so we're not sure exactly what will happen next. For now, CSK continues to have a chance to finish in the top four. To secure their ticket to Ahmedabad for the playoffs, they merely had to secure a victory in their most recent league encounter played in Bengaluru.

Given the current situation, which demands a victory, Sanju Samson urged CSK to bowl first.
