The 37th match of the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) saw the Rajasthan Royals (RR) defeat league leaders Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 32 runs. The match took place at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Thursday, April 27.

Rajasthan Royals (RR), playing their 200th IPL match, won the toss and elected to bat first. In-form Yashasvi Jaiswal (77 off 43 balls) took the home side to a blistering start and recorded his highest-ever score in the IPL.

While they struggled to find their way in the middle overs, they recovered quickly. Courtesy of cameos from Dhruv Jurel and Devdutt Padikkal, the hosts were able to record the highest total at the venue. RR ended with 202-5 at the end of 20 overs, giving CSK a mammoth task to retain their top spot on the table.

CSK were off to a rather slow start with Devon Conway particularly struggling in the powerplay. Ruturaj Gaikwad played a decent knock and CSK were boosted by cameos throughout the innings, but could not handle the RR spin trio. The visitors could not keep up with the asking rate and were restricted to 170-6.
