CSK 90-1 (10 ovs) vs Rajasthan | Scorecard

Leg-spinner Ish Sodhi comes into the attack. He makes a tidy start, giving away four singles in his first over.

Rajasthan looking to frustrate CSK's batsmen, especially Raina, as they dry up the boundaries and concede just singles.

Stokes also does well to concede only five singles from his second over to build up some pressure.

Watson breaks the shackles as he makes most of some poor bowling from Sodhi. The leggie drops short as Watson rocks back and pulls it over midwicket for a six.

He nearly gets Watson with the next delivery as the right-hander smashes one straight back and Sodhi is unable to hold on to the catch on his follow through.

Two balls later, Raina slog sweeps Sodhi wide of long-on for another maximum. Three more singles as Sodhi goes for 16 in his second over.

Unadkat comes back as Raina, on 41 from 26 balls, gets a lifeline. He taps the second ball on the covers and goes for a quick single as Rahane swoops in quickly but misses the direct hit with the batsman well out of his crease.

Unadkat then drops short as Watson again uses the pull shot to despatch it for a six.

He misses the next ball as it stays a touch low but the leg before wicket appeal is turned down before the left-armer bowls a couple of wides.

10 from the 10th over as CSK reach 90 for one with Raina on 42 from 27 and Watson on 30 from 25 balls.
