Chennai’s batting failed, only Overton took charge

Due to rain, batting on the pitch had become difficult and the bowling of Rajasthan Royals continuously troubled the Chennai batsmen.The top four batsmen of the team – Sanju Samson, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ayush Mhatre and Matthew Shaw – could not score any big scores. Overton came in at number 8 and took the team to 127 and this innings was the only shining part.
