Rajasthan Royals

From there, captain Sanju Samson took 20 runs off Rashid Khan in the 13th over to eventually make 60 while Shimron Hetmyer smashed a whirlwind unbeaten 56 off just 26 balls to give Rajasthan an improbable three-wicket victory in 23rd match of the IPL 2023, here on Sunday.

Apart from Miller, Gujarat were also aided by 45 from Shubman Gill, 28 from Hardik Pandya and 27 from Abhinav Manohar at the back end of the innings. For Rajasthan, pacer Sandeep Sharma was pick of bowlers with 2/25, while Zampa, Yuzvendra Chahal and Trent Boult took a wicket each.

Sunday's game is also a re-match of last year's final, where Gujarat emerged triumphant over Rajasthan to get their first IPL trophy. While Gujarat enter the match on the back of a six-wicket victory over Punjab Kings in Mohali, Rajasthan arrive after beating Chennai Super Kings by three runs at Chepauk.

The second match of the doubleheader on Sunday will be a repeat of the IPL 2022 final where Hardik Pandya's Titans came out victorious in the grand finale. Sanju Samson's Royals will be looking to settle the score this time around and add another chapter to their rivalry.

Bowling the last over with 21 runs to defend, Sandeep began the over with two wides and M.S. Dhoni hitting a brace of excellent sixes. With seven runs needed off three balls, Sandeep bowled a wide length ball and then produced two yorkers that Dhoni and Jadeja could only take singles off, giving Rajasthan a nervy victory in breaching fortress Chepauk.

CSK's tried-and-tested strategy of leaving it late did not yield the desired results as they lost to Royals by three runs in the 17th match of the IPL 2023 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday night. This was CSK's only second loss to RR at home in eight games.

Rajasthan Royals made it two wins in a row as they beat Chennai Super Kings by 3 runs in a thrilling Match 17 of IPL 2023. "Rajasthan Royals have been fined for maintaining a slow over-rate during their TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match 17 against Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai on Wednesday," the IPL said in a statement.

Chasing a target of 176 on a slow turner and with dew coming down in copious amounts was expected to be easy for Chennai Super Kings in what was the 200th match for Dhoni as captain. The CSK skipper made a brave effort by hitting two sixes in the final over but in the end, fell short narrowly.

Buttler and Devdutt Padikkal (38) helped Rajasthan Royals blast 57/1 in Power-play and take them to 87/1 in ninth over but Jadeja claimed two wickets -- getting Padikkal and Rajasthan skipper Sanju Samson (0) in quick succession on a pitch that offered turn and bounce as CSK fought back to take control of the match.
