CSK vs RR: Ravichandran Ashwin Dismisses Rahane and Rayudu in The Same Over

CSK vs RR: Rajasthan Royals’ senior spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has bowled some brilliant spells in IPL 2023. He did the same in the CSK vs RR game as he dismissed Ajinkya Rahane and Ambati Rayudu in the same over and pushed Chennai Super Kings further behind in the chase.

Rajasthan Royals’ had posted a massive total of 202-5 in their 20 overs courtesy of a brilliant knock by Yashasvi Jaiswal. Chennai Super Kings didn’t get the kind of start they needed while Ashwin’s exceptional spell with the ball made sure they never came back into the game.

CSK vs RR: Ravichandran Ashwin’s double-wicket over helps Rajasthan Royals dominate the CSK vs RR Game

By the end of the 10th over, CSK had lost both their openers and had scored just 72 runs as things were not looking good for them. However, Rajasthan Royals needed wickets on regular intervals in order to restrict CSK’s threatening batting lineup on a flat Jaipur wicket.

Sanju Samson handed over the ball to his senior spinner Ravichandran Ashwin to bowl the 11th over of CSK innings. Ajinkya Rahane’s track record is pretty bad against the RR spinner and it became even worse as he lost his wicket to him one more time.

Ashwin bowled a carrom ball as Ajinkya Rahane came down the track to play an aggressive shot. The CSK batter tried to smash it over the long-on boundary but the bigger dimensions at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium didn’t help his cause as Jos Buttler took a pretty simple catch to get rid of Rahane.

Ambati Rayudu then came on to the crease as the Impact Player for Chennai Super Kings. Just on the second delivery he faced, Rayudu went for a slog sweep as Ashwin bowled a tossed-up delivery. The ball went flying towards deep mid-wicket where Jason Holder completed the catch easily.

Courtesy of the brilliant double-wicket over bowled by Ravichandran Ashwin, the Sanju Samson-led side got into the driver’s seat in the CSK vs RR contest. Ashwin finished with the figures of 2 for 35 in his four-over spell while CSK could only score 170 runs and eventually fell short by 32 runs.
