Chennai Super Kings were in desperate need of rescue efforts from Ambati Rayudu, and the middle-order rock rose to the occasion. He supplied a rearguard act worth 55 off 43 balls to usher his franchise to a decent136/5 after they found themselves in a precarious position at 62/4. Five boundaries and a couple of sixes laced Rayuduโs valiant knock as Chennai applauded the return to form of their most dependable batsman over the years. The timing was opportune as well, given the playoffs are around the corner.
๐ SIX! ๐
Itโs taken until the 18th over but we finally have the first six of the day as Ambat Rayudu launches one over the legside!#CSK need a big finish and thatโs a good start! #IPL2021
