Jos Buttler's fourth IPL fifty in a row, combined with K Gowtham's four-ball blitz of 13, sealed Rajasthan Royals' final-over win against Chennai Super Kings and kept them in contention for the playoffs. And then, how Buttler has often this season, he pulled back the strike-rate in a bid to anchor the rest of the innings. But he lost his opening partner Ben Stokes (11) and skipper Ajinkya Rahane (4) early.
With powerplay overs yielding 55 runs, there was a period when Chennai Super Kings did't get a boundary for 21 balls before Ish Sodhi's over (ninth of the innings) helped the duo break shackles.
The Royals struggled to find someone to partner the free-flowing Buttler with wickets falling at regular intervals, keeping CSK in the contest. Stuart Binny departed for 22 off 17 balls, hitting a four and a six as Buttler continued to fight on at the other end. Ambati Rayudu, Shane Watson, Dwayne Bravo, Captain Dhoni and Suresh Raina have played fine innings from time to time to their team. But Rajasthan tightened the screws on CSK after Raina's dismissal.
Catch all the highlights from the game here. This CSK side, out with a mission and looking to prove a point after a couple of defeats is more risky than a wounded lion.
Asked about the performance of his bowlers, Fleming said, "Yes, it could have been better, they could have been more accurate".
Bravo finished with one for 31 from three overs and five balls. The pitch was not easy for on the rise shots as the batsmen struggled to club the ball out of the park.
Considering the dry nature of the Jaipur wicket, the score was par, if not 5 or 10 runs more than it.

Trump Skewers Donnelly for Immigration Vote
Trump and Pence are no strangers to the University, having both spoke in the region since the 2016 campaign for the White House. The only line that really fell flat came when Trump praise Bill Belichick, the head coach of the NFL's New England Patriots.
Former New Zealand captain and CSK coach, Stephen Fleming, observed: "Under pressure, Buttler played a good innings on a hard track". He is the bowler of the match. Credit goes to Jos batting up the order.
There was a six over long-off Harbhajan Singh along with a backfoot punch through mid-wicket. The way he handled the spinners was too good. With the bat, he has been fantastic. Similarly, other teams could also be in with a chance if they can get to at least 12 points. We have nothing to lose.
1- In the 11th edition of IPL, MS Dhoni's side CSK have not bowled a single "no ball" and they are the only club in the league to achieve this feat.
"We were supposed to bowl one particular length. But more contribution in the middle would be welcome and we need more of them at this time of tournament", said Unadkat. The bowlers let us down.
"Looking at the XI that we have about the area, we did properly inside the field".
They won their previous game at home against Kings XI Punjab and would like to repeat the feat. "Because you don't just want to qualify into the knockouts, you want to win games and go there".
