MS Dhoni and co elected to bat first after winning the toss but failed to post a mammoth total on the board. The Chennai batsmen struggled to up the ante in the middle overs and also could not produce a flourish towards the back end. While there were cameos from MS Dhoni and Sam Curran, it was Ravindra Jadeja who was the saving grace in terms of the scoring rate. The side could only manage 125 runs on the board after the completion of 20 overs. Rajasthan, for their part, stumbled home on the back of Jos Buttler's half-century.
