Cricket News: Twitter reactions as RR beat CSK in high-scoring thriller | RR beat CSK in high-scoring match at Abu Dhabi: Twitter reactions

Until now, IPL 2021 phase 2 had been what some fans would call, “boring”. Slow and low pitches are not exactly the recipe for a T20 tournament and pitches in the UAE have provided at best sub-par totals in all the games played so far. 

That changed last night when fans were treated to an absolute run fest by Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals. It all started when CSK’s golden boy this season so far, Ruturaj Gaikwad, played the innings of his lifetime supported by his team-mates around him. Gaikwad got his first IPL century on the last ball of the innings when he hit a six off Mustafizur. 

But that innings was quickly overshadowed when Rajasthan got off to a flier with Yashaswi Jaiswal hitting it to all parts of the ground. RR, at the end of the powerplay were 81/1 and then Shivam Dube finished off with 64 from 42. With that, now there are 4 teams on 10 points vying for the 4th playoff spot.
