Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals, 12th Match, Indian Premier League 2021 - CommentaryCSK vs RR, 12th Match, Indian Premier League 2021 - Commentary

Sagar Dombe: Moeen Ali is Midas Ali, tonight. Whatever he does, just turns to gold. Hope this promising start doesn't taper off throughout the season.

Bushetty Vasanthi: Moeen Ali is proving his worth every match!

Pooja Nayak: Samson having the same problem every year. Gives you one or two fabulous knocks and then fades away. He has to work on his consistency.

Taha Haidery: With Samson's wicket, CSK are marginally ahead now. Though RR have Miller in their ranks, Jos Buttler will be the key here and he will have to stick till the end and anchor the innings!

Amin: RR need their two star batters - Buttler and Samson to hold fort while the rest play around them.

Siddhant: Rajasthan does not have the in-form batsmen to pull off this chase. They need a big one from their overseas guns or from their captain to have a chance of victory.

Shavil: It would be hard to defend with dew and Samson on this pitch.

Aryan: All top order batsmen got good starts but couldn't convert it into big ones. If anyone would have played till the end, CSK surely would have crossed 200. Nevertheless they would be happy scoring 61 in the last 5 overs.

S Srihari: Seems everyone has thrown their wickets rather than get out off good balls....

Manoj: CSK has to blame themselves , this pitch makes batting second quite easy so something around 180 will not bother RR

Pravin: With track like this, Shardul Thakur should have been given a chance up the order

Gokul Shah: Chetan Sakariya has almost brought back RR into the game. Swing in the powerplay, slower balls in the death. With his current age and the talent he has,he is surely going to be the next big thing in the Indian team.

Arjun: Sam Curran should play higher than Dhoni as he plays more aggressively and gets more runs meanwhile Dhoni plays conservatively and isn't trying to hit the balls even in the death.

Pranav Nebhnani: We Want typical MSD Now!

Bhaven S: Chahar's spell will play a crucial role in today's match.

Shammi Sadwal: Dew will have lots of say in the chase, as it will not be easy to bowl with wet ball. Anything above 180 will be cushion for bowlers.

Vivek G: The pitch looks good to bat but if it slows as the ball becomes old, still at least 180 should be needed to control RR!

Harsha Bhogle: 19 wickets in the power play at the Wankhede Stadium. And pace vs spin is revealing. 52 wickets to pace vs 4 to spin. Admittedly, the slower ball has produced a few but if you like some pace and bounce, you don't mind bowling here

Neeraj Sahu: Moeen is a dasher and that's the job CSK has given him. It would be much better for him and CSK to open with him. If he can play the way he plays, Faf would be under less burden to score quickly and as a result play longer. Gaikwad can provide solidity at 3.

Aneesh: Is it just me who thinks Riyan Parag has some swag while he is batting or fielding ?

Sachin: Really feel bad for folks like Gaikwad and Rajat Patidhar, they surely deserve more chances but franchises can't afford it.

KR: The game could be decided in the first 6 overs. If CSK score heavily in the powerplay, we've a game in, if not, it's highly likely RR will go ahead and chase it.

Dikshant: Perfect chance for csk to test their batting firepower. My gosh!! Look at their lineup. Everyone, each of the 11 players can bat. Bravo at 9. We know what Shardul can do at 10. And Chahar can also score a few at 11. CSK should strike aggressively from beginning as dew could play a deciding factor.

Khushdeep Tanwar: The Royals have provided us with a couple of highly entertaining and thrilling chases. With the kind of depth in CSK's batting lineup and Wankhede's batting paradise, it seems that we are gonna witness yet another wonderful high scoring chase tonight.

Shubham Meghani: I am here just to watch Jos Buttler bat. He is currently out of form but great players doesn't need much time to get in form. Hope he will roar today

Prathamesh S: With both teams having a deep batting lineup, surely we can expect a high scoring match on this Wankhede pitch

Vamsi: A win is important for both the teams because they will play their following game against the in-form RCB.

Anshul L: Look forward to see some big-hitting from some of the best big-hitters in T20 going around with the likes of Sanju, Jos, Miller, Morris, Curran, Jadeja!!! So much of brutal hitting in between them! Can't wait!

Anupol Sharma: Rajasthan should send Riyan Parag ahead of shivam dube at no. 4 . Shivam Dube is more like a finisher and Riyan has shown that he can play the long innings and win games for his team. He got five consecutive fifties batting at no. 4 for Assam in SMAT .
