IPL 2023: Sanju Samson and the rest of the RR management team hit all of their targets. They nearly had a flawless game, what with reading the surface, choosing to bat, scoring a huge total, and picking the proper bowling combinations. While hardly a classic by any means, Jaiswal’s innings proved decisive. The Royals won because of Jaiswal’s 77 runs off of 43 balls, despite the fact that most of the batters had trouble timing the ball.
Conway had trouble in the powerplay, Gaikwad and Rahane were hardly a threat, and CSK only managed to put pressure on the home side when Moeen and Dube were in the centre. Once that partnership was broken, all that was left was for Sandeep and the rest of the RR bowling unit to retain their cool and carry out their strategy to perfection.
This season, the Rajasthan Royals have beaten the Chennai Super Kings twice. They had lost two in a row, but have since won back-to-back games. The three-match winning streak of CSK comes to an end with this loss by 32 runs, and the teams switch places in the standings as a result.

Why didn't dhoni came ahead of jadeja?

I think sending jadeja above Dhoni is the mistake if Dhoni comes in place of jadeja then it will be lefty and righty batsman and it will hard to pick a line or length for batsman

Rajasthan Royals beat Chennai Super Kings for the second time in IPL 2023
The winning captain, Sanju Samson, said after the game, “We needed to win this game for the morale of the team and for the fans. It would also be our first win in Jaipur. We can’t just do one thing. If you play in Chinnaswamy or Wankhede, you will chase, but I chose to bat first here because of the conditions. Even when it was our turn to bat, all the younger players came in and did their jobs. The new way of thinking about attack is a nice change. The managers and support staff deserve credit for what the players are doing. For example, Jaiswal will be at the RR academy during the off-season.”
What did MS Dhoni say after the game?
Chennai Super Kings captain, MS Dhoni said, “It was a lot better than average. The first six overs let too many runs through, but it was also the best time to bat on the pitch. Even as they finished, the edges kept going. They got a score of par or better, and we couldn’t stop the runs. I thought that Pathirana’s bowling was very good.
It doesn’t show how well he bowled on the record. Yashasvi did a great job. It was important to attack the bowlers, so he took some chances. Against our bowlers, it was a little bit easier because we had to figure out the right lengths. Even so, Yashasvi did well at the top of the order, and Jurel did a great job at the end. I think that my first ODI hundred in Vizag gave me about 10 games, but my 183 here gave me a chance to play for a year, so this place is special to me.”
Rajasthan Royals Playing XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Devdutt Padikkal, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jason Holder, Adam Zampa, Sandeep Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal
