“The match was RR vs RR, Ruturaj Gaikwad was standing at the other end but doing nothing”- Aakash Chopra

Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra has said that Ruturaj Gaikwad’s contribution during the first-wicket partnership with Rachin Ravindra in Chennai Super Kings (CSK)’s IPL 2024 win against Rajasthan Royals (RR) was negligible. The left-handed New Zealand opener contributed 27 runs to the duo’s 32-run partnership. RR on Sunday, May 12 in Chennai csk A target of 142 runs was set in front of them. Gaikwad scored an unbeaten 42 off 41 balls as the hosts won by five wickets with 10 balls to spare and moved up to third place in the points table. Speaking about CSK’s run chase in a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra admitted that initially the contest was only between Rajasthan Royals and Rachin Ravindra. Aakash Chopra spoke about the opening partnership of Rachin Ravindra and Ruturaj Aakash Chopra said, “When it was the turn of the run chase, it seemed that Chennai would look to win the match and improve their net rate a bit. He said that Rachin Ravindra will open and Ajinkya Rahane will not come – right decision. It looked like it was a RR vs RR match going on in the beginning – Rajasthan Royals vs Rachin Ravindra. The former Indian opener further said, “Ruturaj Gaikwad was standing at the other end but was not doing anything. Rachin was hitting fours and sixes and he was watching from the other end. So until Rachin Ravindra got out, the game was RR vs RR. However, Rachin was out. It was a short innings. He scored 27 runs in 18 balls. Ravindra was not only the key partner in that partnership but he also faced most of the balls during the first wicket partnership. When Rachin was out on the fourth ball of the fourth over, Gaikwad was playing after scoring three runs in four balls.

How Both CSK and RCB can Qualify for IPL Playoffs: How can both Chennai and RCB together qualify for IPL Playoffs?

How Both CSK and RCB can Qualify for IPL Playoffs: Now only 8 matches are left in this year’s IPL. So far only 1 team has been able to make it to the playoffs (IPL 2024 Playoffs Qualification Scenario) and the equation of qualification looks very exciting. Talking about Royal Challengers Bangalore, they have made a great comeback in IPL 2024. They have kept themselves in the play-off race by winning 5 consecutive matches. 7 teams are in the race for three play-off spots. CSK and RCB won on Super Sunday by defeating Rajasthan (RR) and Delhi (DC) respectively at home. CSK and RCB will now face each other in their final league match in Bengaluru on Saturday. There is a possibility that one of them will reach the playoffs. However, there is also a possibility that both of them can go to the playoffs. Before we see how both Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and RCB can reach the playoffs, let’s see how the points table looks after the 62nd match of the IPL. IPL Remaining Matches: List of remaining matches of IPL 2024 Chances of CSK and RCB in the Top 4 of IPL Playoffs (Chennai and RCB likely to go to Top 4) Now let us know the top 4 of CSK and RCB. Okay, what are the real chances of both CSK and RCB being in the IPL Playoffs Top 4? How can both CSK and RCB qualify? (HOW BOTH CSK AND RCB CAN QUALIFY FOR IPL PLAYOFFS) RCB and CSK Playoffs Qualification Chances: If both the teams have to reach the playoffs, many other results will have to go in their favor. RCB should defeat Chennai in the match between the two teams on Saturday, but not by a huge margin. Even if Chennai Super Kings loses, there should not be a big drop in their net run rate. First and foremost, SRH need to lose both their remaining matches (against GT and PBKS at home) and remain on 14 points. Along with this, the special thing is that SRH will have to lose by a big margin. This seems unlikely as SRH are in good form on home soil and will start as favorites in both the matches. If SRH wins even one of its remaining two matches, then the race for the playoffs will become more difficult for teams like CSK, RCB, DC, LSG and GT because then only 2 spots will be left for the top 4 and for that everyone will have to compete. Will have to fight. Let’s see which more matches should go in favor of CSK and RCB Gujarat (GT) should lose to Kolkata and beat Sunrisers (SRH) in Ahmedabad on Monday. Delhi (DC) will have to defeat Lucknow (LSG) in their next match. Lucknow (LSG) loses to Mumbai. Lucknow team beats Mumbai by a huge margin. If all results go as predicted, around 4 or 5 teams will be tied on 14 points. Here’s how the points table will look at the end of the league stage.…

“What you did was completely beyond my understanding…”- Former Indian cricketer said on RR’s batting approach.

After electing to bat first in the match played in Chennai on Sunday, May 12, RR set a target of 142 runs for CSK. The host team chased the target with five wickets and 10 balls remaining and reached the third position in the points table. In a video shared on her YouTube channel, Chopra said that Rajasthan Royals His timid batting approach was not understandable. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement on RR’s batting approach. Aakash Chopra said, “I could not understand this match. I will say this very honestly. Rajasthan won the toss and elected to bat. Since it was an afternoon game, it made sense to bat first. After that, you were 131/3 before the start of 20 overs. The fast bowlers took three wickets and the spinners did nothing.” The former Indian opener further said, “So I am trying to understand that if this pitch was slow, the batsmen should have dismissed the spinners. It did not happen. Simarjeet (Singh) took wickets and none of the batsmen scored runs. If you score 131 runs in 19 overs, what you did was completely beyond my understanding.” Chopra pointed out that Rajasthan Royals have not yet qualified for the playoffs, which seemed to be a formality even though they had won eight of their first nine matches. Considering that the champions of the inaugural season of IPL are still set to qualify, whether they believe they will be able to make it to the top 2 now is a big question.

CSK vs RR Turning Point of Match: These 3 important reasons are behind Rajasthan’s defeat and Chennai’s victory – Read Turning Point

Chennai Super Kings defeated Rajasthan Royals by 4 wickets in the 61st match of IPL 2024. CSK (Pic Source-X) CSK vs RR Turning Point of Match: Chennai Super Kings defeated Rajasthan Royals by 4 wickets in the 61st match of IPL 2024. Rajasthan Royals (RR), batting first in this match, scored 141 runs losing 5 wickets in 20 overs. In response, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) achieved the target in 18.2 overs and won the match by 5 wickets. CSK vs RR Turning Point of Match: Turning Point of Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals match There were 3 big turning points in this match where the match changed significantly. Let’s talk about 3 turning points- 1. Rajasthan Royals batting Captain Sanju Samson won the toss and decided to bat first on Chennai’s home ground. He had thought of giving a target of 170-190 runs to CSK on the Chepauk pitch. This could have been a good score but the batsmen did not show that much stamina. Yashasvi Jaiswal 24 runs, Jos Buttler 21 runs, Sanju Samson himself was out after scoring 15 runs. Riyan Parag played an unbeaten inning of 47 runs in 35 balls but he did not get support from the other end. The top order of Rajasthan Royals batted very poorly. Where Yashasvi batted with a strike rate of 114.29. Whereas, Butler scored 84 runs while Samson scored at a poor strike rate of 78.95. If you want to give the target of 170 runs to the opposition team then you will never be able to win the match with such poor batting. 2. There was shine in the bowling of Chennai Super Kings CSK’s bowling looked very weak due to the absence of Mustafizur Rahman and Mathisha Pathirana. But in this match the bowlers bowled commendably. Tushar Deshpande took 2 wickets for 30 runs in 4 overs, while Simarjeet Singh took 3 wickets for 26 runs in 4 overs. The best thing was that all the bowlers bowled very economical overs. He did not take any wicket but made the batsmen struggle to score runs. 3. Rituraj’s captaincy innings and the team’s batsmen not wasting time at the crease. While CSK was chasing the target, wickets were falling at regular intervals. But the best thing about the batsmen was that they were getting out after scoring runs. However, this alone is not enough as the entire team would have faltered. Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad was managing the innings and had given license to the rest of the batsmen to play fearlessly. Gaikwad played an inning of 42 runs in 41 balls and remained at the crease till the end of the match. Due to his sensible innings and important contribution of other batsmen, CSK was able to win the match. If even one thing did not go in their favor then the match could have slipped.

Will MS Dhoni play his last match in Chepauk today? If we lose to RR today….

Dhoni can play his last match today against Rajasthan Royals at Chennai ground. MS Dhoni (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) Chennai Super Kings will face Rajasthan Royals in the 61st match of IPL 2024. This match will be played at CSK’s home ground MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk. Fans believe that this could be Dhoni’s last match on the Chennai ground. Actually, with CSK’s defeat in the last match, their playoff calculations have gone a little awry. Now if the team wants to qualify for the playoffs, it will have to win both the remaining matches. If CSK team loses even one match from here then their hopes of reaching the playoffs will be dashed. In such a situation, if CSK fails to reach the playoffs, then this could be Dhoni’s last match in Chennai. In fact, former CSK captain MS Dhoni had expressed a wish a few years ago that he wanted to play his last IPL match in front of CSK fans on the Chennai ground. If he does not do this then it will be injustice to the fans. Many people believe that this could be MS Dhoni’s last IPL season. In such a situation, today’s match could be MS Dhoni’s last match in Chepauk. Chennai Super Kings at fourth place in the points table Let us tell you that, ipl 2024 Chennai Super Kings is currently at fourth position in the points table after winning 6 out of 12 matches. CSK has a chance to reach maximum 16 points, if the team loses even one of the next two matches, then they will be able to reach only 14 points, in such a situation the rope of reaching the playoffs will not be in their hands. After this they will have to depend on the results of other teams. After this, Chennai Super Kings have to play the last match of the season against Royal Challengers Bangalore. This match will be played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. On the other hand, if Chennai Super Kings manages to qualify for the playoffs, then fans can get a glimpse of Dhoni at MA Chidambaram Stadium not once but twice.
