Gopal’s Cameo Helps Rajasthan Post 151/7 vs CSK: IPL 2019

Chennai Super Kings produced yet another disciplined bowling effort to restrict Rajasthan Royals to a modest 151 for seven in an Indian Premier League encounter on April 11, Thursday.

Save Jos Buttler (23 off 10 balls) at the top of the order, none of other Royals batsmen looked the part as CSK skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni's immaculate reading of the track once again helped the defending champions.

Even Imran Tahir (0/28 in 4 overs), who went for a few more runs compared to the other two spinners, ended with decent enough figures.

बायें हाथ की स्पिन जोड़ी रवींद्र जडेजा (4 ओवर में 2/20) और मिशेल सैंटनर (4 ओवर में 1/25) ने रन-फ्लो की जाँच की क्योंकि रॉयल्स के बल्लेबाज हमेशा कैच-अप गेम खेल रहे थे

Royals skipper Ajinkya Rahane (14 off 11) failed once again with seamer Deepak Chahar (2/33 in 4 overs) trapping him leg before.

Buttler belted Shardul Thakur (2/44 in 4 overs) for a few boundaries before he mistiming one which was easily caught by Ambati Rayudu.

एक बार बटलर के जाने के बाद, रॉयल्स ने गति खो दी क्योंकि नियमित अंतराल पर विकेट गिर गए। स्टीव स्मिथ (15,22 गेंद) ने एक बार फिर संघर्ष किया, क्योंकि उन्होंने रवींद्र जडेजा को डीप मिड विकेट की ओर फेंका, केवल रायुडू को खोजने के लिए

Samson also top-edged a sweep which was caught by substitute fielder Dhruv Shorey. Rahul Tripathi's struggles in the middle-order continued while Ben Stokes' 28 off 26 balls wasn't good enough.

It was Shreyas Gopal, who struck a few meaty blows en route his 19 off 7 balls to take the target past 150 despite the home team playing as many as 42 dot balls.
