Ravichandran Ashwin once again proved his worth with the bat when his team needed it the most as Rajasthan Royals thrashed Chennai Super Kings by five wickets to end the IPL league stage in the top-2 on Friday.

Ashwin remained unbeaten on 40 off 23 balls as RR completed a chase of 151 with two balls to spare, finishing second to set up a blockbuster clash with Gujarat Titans in the first play-off next Tuesday.

For CSK, Moeen Ali hit 93 off 57 balls before RR made a remarkable comeback and restricted the Yellow Brigade to 150 for six in the allotted 20 overs.

Young Yashasvi Jaiswal (59 off 44 balls) got off to a brisk start in the first over of the innings with back-to-back boundaries off Mukesh Chaudhary.

In fact, by the time the first over of their innings came to an end, RR had qualified for the play-offs on net run rate, with Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals fighting for the fourth spot.

Simarjit Singh hits early for CSK, sending back the dangerous Jos Buttler (2), who sideways a far-going delivery waiting for Moeen at slips.

Jaiswal hit two consecutive boundaries in the next over and to give stability to the RR innings, the 20-year-old opener added 51 runs for the second wicket with skipper Sanju Samson (15).

However, Samson again failed to convert his start into a significant contribution as left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner caught the batsman and bowled. Devdutt Padikkal (3) didn’t last long and in the 12th over, Moeen left RR for 76 for three with some work to do.

After completing his half-century in 39 balls, and hitting a six at long-on, a well-set Jaiswal got out to Prashant Solanki while trying to clear the fence.

After celebrating the birth of his child back from Guyana, Shimron Hetmyer (6) arrived at the crease with high hopes of finishing it for RR, but could do nothing more than fall at the hands of Solanki.

However, Ravichandran Ashwin kept RR in the hunt with his sensible batting at one end.

Earlier, Moeen flared up in the power play but slowed down significantly after that as Chennai Super Kings struggled for runs in the last 10.

batting first after

Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss, Moin scored 50 off 19 balls, and CSK scored 75 for one at the end of the first six power play overs after scoring 59 for 24 at the end of the first six power play overs.

Moin scored 93 runs in 57 balls with the help of 13 fours and three sixes.

However, Moeen was on the receiving end of a brutal attack during which the England all-rounder made a bowler

Boult’s ability looks like an uncapped player, bundling him for 26 in an over, the RR bowling unit made a decent recovery.

There was a phase in the innings when CSK failed to find a boundary for 45 balls before Dhoni (26) roared back to pull Yuzvendra Chahal (2/26) to deep square leg.

As far as Mooney was concerned, he was kept by the RR bowlers for a long time. After hitting Chahal’s flying ball for a boundary on the fourth ball of the seventh over, Moeen found his next four-three deliveries in the form of Obed McCoy (2/20) at the Wankhede Stadium in the 17th over.

Dhoni hit the famous Krishna for a six over deep midwicket at the start of the next over, but the fast bowler came back strongly in the remaining five balls.

To begin with, CSK were 3 for one after two overs but Devon Conway and Moeen broke loose after that, scoring 12 and 18 in the next two overs and leading the Yellow Brigade’s innings.

While Conway was watching from the other end, Moon was still taking the big shots with consummate ease. Moon completed his half-century with an upper cut on the third man boundary off Boult.

That over – the last before the power play ended – Moeen hit the veteran New Zealand pacer for a six and five fours as he worked hard on the Boult.
