Match Result - CSK won by  8 Runs
MOM - MS Dhoni(CSK)for his 75*(46 Balls 4x4 and 6x4)

Chennai Super Kings made it three wins in a row after beating Rajasthan Royals by eight runs in their IPL 2019 encounter in Chennai.

After being put into bat, CSK didn't get off to a great start. They were struggling at 27/3 before MS Dhoni took over. 

Back-to-back fifty partnerships for the fourth and fifth wicket followed by a final flourish helped CSK post 175/5. 

In the 61 run partnership for the fourth wicket with Raina, Dhoni played second fiddle and seemed content to just rotate the strike and hit the odd boundary. In the 56-run stand with Bravo, he slowly changed gear and came to his own, bringing up his fifty.

But it was in the final over that he completed his assault on RR as he hit Jaydev Unadkat's last three legal balls for three sixes as he finished with a 46-ball 75, which is his second-best IPL score and his highest score in Chennai.

In response, RR were in trouble early as well, but useful cameos from Rahul Tripathi, Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer kept them in the contest but Dwayne Bravo bowled a brilliant last over to get his side over the line.
