Currently, the table toppers, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) are locking horns with each other in the 25th match of the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. After winning the toss, the CSK skipper, MS Dhoni decided to bowl first on a tricky looking Jaipur track. However, RR openers, Ajinkya Rahane, and Jos Buttler gave a much-needed start to the hosts.

During the toss, the RR skipper, Rahane revealed that they have made three changes to their squad, as Krishnappa Gowtham, Prashant Chopra, and Sudhesan Midhun made way for Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag and Jaydev Unadkat in their squad. On the other hand, CSK also made two changes as  Harbhajan Singh and Scott Kuggelijn made way for Shardul Thakur and Mitchell Santner.

In the final powerplay over, Mitchell Santner dismissed the comeback man Sanju Samson owing to a juggling catch by Dhruv Shorey.

On the second ball of the over, Santner got the reward for bowling slow as he delivered a length ball on the stumps, and in an attempt to sweep it, Samson only managed to get the top edged of his bat and the ball went to the deep-mid0wicket where the ball bounced a couple of time on Shorey’s body as he suddenly stopped his body after a sprint. but he finally managed to get his hands in order to grab the ball. Shorey grabbed the ball on his third attempt.
