CSK 30-1 (3 ovs) vs Rajasthan | Scorecard

Shane Watson and Ambati Rayudu will open the innings for CSK, while Rajasthan open with spin as Krishnappa Gowtham is given the new ball.

Three singles before Rayudu comes down and lofts the spinner over the covers for a four and attempts another loft as he somehow evades the mid-off fielder for a single.

Spin from both ends as left-arm spinner Ankit Sharma comes in from the other end.

Rayudu again comes down the track and lofts it straight down the ground for a four before Watson sweeps the fourth ball square on the leg side for another boundary.

Two more singles as Ankit goes for 11 in his first over as CSK's openers look keen to get going early on.

Pacer Jofra Archer is brought into the attack and he strikes with his first delivery. Rayudu throws his bat at a wide one as he tries to force it through the off-side but only manages to inside edge it back on to his stumps to be bowled for 12.

Suresh Raina is off the mark in style as he whips a leg stump half volley through his legs for a four.

Archer then oversteps as he gifts Raina a free hit. Raina makes room to slash the free hit through the off-side but is beaten and umpire makes a horrible call to rule it a wide despite it being well inside the tram lines.

He connects with the next ball, smashing it past point for a four as CSK reach 30 for one in three overs.
