The Rajasthan Royals (RR) defeated the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 32 runs in Match 37 of the Tata IPL 2023. With this result, RR went to the top of the points table, while CSK slipped to the third spot. Batting first, RR posted a mighty 202/5 in 20 overs. RR's batting effort was propelled by a stunning half-century from opener Yashasvi Jaiswal (77 runs off 43 balls).

After an 86-run opening stand by RR, CSK seemed to have brought their way back into the match through some tight bowling in the middle overs. However, two excellent cameos by Dhruv Jurel (34 runs off 15 balls) and Devdutt Padikkal (27* runs off 13 balls) meant that RR crossed 200 at the end of 20 overs.

In reply, CSK were in all sorts of trouble at 73/4 in 10.4 overs, with Ruturaj Gaikwad the only player to make some sort of impact with the bat until this stage. Some lusty blows from Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, and Ravindra Jadeja sparked some hopes of a close finish, but it was almost certain that it was a case of too little, too late.

For RR, the stars with the ball were Ravichandran Ashwin (4 - 0 - 35 - 2), Adam Zampa (3 - 0 - 22 - 3), Kuldip Yadav (3 - 0 - 18 - 1) and Sandeep Sharma (4 - 0 - 24 - 0).

This result also helped the Royals to go to the top of the points table. RR have the equal number of points as Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans i.e. 10, but the Men in Pink and Blue have the best net run rate amongst the three teams.
