Strategic Break! A chaotic first nine overs of this game. Chennai Super Kings have scored around 10 an over, but they have also lost half their side. However, Dewald Brevis and Shivam Dube have got them out of trouble from a similar position, and they will look to extend this stand till the 15th or 16th over so that MS Dhoni can come in and do his thing. Rajasthan Royals know that they are on top, and a couple of wickets here and they will restrict CSK to a below-par score. An exciting phase of cricket awaits us.
