After a winning start against Mumbai, Chennai suffered their first loss of the Dream11 IPL 2020 after being beaten by the Steve Smith-led Rajasthan in a high scoring encounter in Sharjah on Tuesday. The MS Dhoni-led side suffered a 16-run defeat despite a valiant effort from Faf du Plessis with the bat. Dhoni also played some big shots in the end, which included 3 sixes in the final over.

Chennai were hoping for a solid start from their openers Murali Vijay and Shane Watson. But once both of them were sent back to the pavilion, wickets kept tumbling at regular intervals, while Faf du Plessis tried to hold the innings from another end. Sam Curran was sent up the order to play big shots and try to up the run rate but the fall of his wicket only increased the required run rate.

Following Sam Curran's dismissal, Ruturaj Gaikwad was dismissed for a duck, while Kedar Jadhav scored three boundaries before being dismissed. Following Kedar Jadhav's dismissal, MS Dhoni came to the crease but, the skipper kept taking singles and gave strike to du Plessis, who continued to play attacking shots. After the fall of the South African's wicket, the target looked out of reach as Dhoni's late flourish could not save Chennai from defeat.
