IPL 2023, MI vs RR: Misfiring Mumbai Indians Wary Of Rajasthan Royals' Batting Prowess

Misfiring Mumbai Indians will have to bring their 'A-game' to the show in order to stop Rajasthan Royals' juggernaut when the two teams meet in an Indian Premier League match on Sunday. RR are currently at the top of the table with some incredible performances -- for example their one-sided routing of Chennai Super Kings. Despite losing two of their last three matches, the Sanuu Samson-led side is in prime form and delivering in all departments. On the other hand, there are serious concerns for MI, especially their death bowling, which was responsible for their last two defeats in high-scoring games.

This Is A First - Rajasthan Royals Star 'Proud' After Being Run Out By MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni, despite being 41 years of age, is showing no signs of slowing down. The Chennai Super Kings captain has been batting well and has been astute behind the stumps. Recently, CSK toured Jaipur for a match against Rajasthan Royals. Though CSK lost the game, fans turned up in huge numbers to show their 'yellove' for CSK and Dhoni. And the legend gave them several occasions to cheer. Apart from masterminding the CSK attack, Dhoni also affected a brilliant runout with a singular effort. It came on the fourth ball of the last over of RR's innings as Dhoni ran out Dhruv Jurel. After Matheesha Pathirana bowled a wide delivery, Dhoni dived to his right to collect the ball and affected the run-out with an accurate throw.

"What Nonsense...": CSK Star Rubbishes Reports Falsely Linking His Tweet To Sunil Gavaskar's Statement

Chennai Super Kings batter Ambati Rayudu has strongly reacted to some reports linking one of his tweets as a response to what the great Sunil Gavaskar said during commentary for the IPL 2023 match between CCSK and Rajasthan Royals. "You got to field. You can't just come out to bat and start hitting the ball. You can't do that. We have seen that with Prithvi Shaw. He has just been coming out to bat without success. No fielding, no scoring. Rayudu is out for a second-ball duck," Gavaskar said on air.

How Sanju Samson's High-Risk Strategy Helped Him Outplay MS Dhoni's CSK

It isn't often that we see the Sawai Mansingh Stadium seeing 200-plus totals. As Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson decided to bat first after winning the toss, there were many who had apprehensions over the decision. However, Samson knew what he had to do. Courtesy of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel's heroics, the Royals put 202 runs on the board while restricting Chennai Super Kings to just 170/6. Even MS Dhoni admitted that the total was too much for his side to chase.

Former India spinner Murali Kartik was all praise for Chennai Super Kings pacer Matheesha Pathirana, following his exploits in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League. Despite registering three wins on the trot, CSK face selection dilemma ahead of their game against the Rajasthan Royals on Thursday. With the pitch in Jaipur likely to aid spinners, CSK could tempt to play Mitchell Santner instead of Pathirana. While suggesting that Santner could be the x-factor for CSK, Kartik said that Pathirana has thrived under the leadership of MS Dhoni, who has used the youngster like a remote control.

Uncapped Indian batter Dhruv Jurel has been one of the finds of the season so far. He has taken up the role of finisher for Rajasthan Royals, and has repaid the trust shown by the management. On Thursday against the Chennai Super Kings, Jurel played a cameo of 34 off just 15 deliveries, taking his team to a total of 202. Speaking after the match, Jurel revealed that he didn't pressure while batting in front of MS Dhoni, instead the CSK captain's presence acted as a motivation for him.

Asked About Change In CSK's Batting Order, Coach Stephen Fleming Gives Firm Response

Chennai Super Kings might have failed in their run-chase against Rajasthan Royals but head coach Stephen Fleming said they didn't feel the need to change the batting order as they "don't mess with things that are going well". Set a target of 203, CSK managed 170 for six to suffer a 32-run loss, their third defeat in eight matches this IPL season. Asked if CSK could have sent some of their big-hitters up the order, Fleming said: "The set roles are very important. (Ajinkya) Rahane has been great for us at No. 3. We don't mess with things that are going well.

Table-toppers Chennai Super Kings suffered a comprehensive loss to Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match on Thursday, falling 33 runs short of the target of 203 runs. The hosts, despite lacking a bit of home support from fans, put in a fabulous display of batting, with Yashasvi Jaiswal emerging as the top-scoring batter. Chasing such a stiff target, CSK skipper MS Dhoni admitted that there were just too many runs to chase for his team, especially because of the way the Royals batted in the first 6 overs.
