Defending champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK) were seen losing their last game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 tournament. Moeen Ali top-scored with a 57-ball 93 before Rajasthan Royals (RR) staged a remarkable comeback to restrict the yellow brigade to 150 for six in the allotted 20 overs.
R Ashwin remained unbeaten on 40 off 23 balls as helped his team RR complete the chase of 151 runs with two balls to go. This victory saw RR pip Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) into the second place after their superior net run rate came into play.

The game was more important to RR than that to CSK, who were already out of contingent for the Playoffs as the side lost 10 of their 14 games. The side only managed to win four games.
Despite all this, the fan craze for MS Dhoni and his team has not diminished. Commentator Ian Bishop shared a video on Instagram showing the crowd cheering for Dhoni outside the hotel room the team stays.
He captioned the video, “CSK returning to our hotel after midnight. Crowds outside on Nariman point cheering and waiting to get the last sighting of MSD. #Passion”.
