The Royals, despite their batsmen's best efforts, could not muster any significant momentum and ended up with a respectable total.
But during the pursuit, Ruturaj Gaikwad's valorous actions swung the balance in CSK's favor. Gaikwad's calm innings gave CSK the stability they needed to negotiate the challenging conditions with accuracy and patience. His methodical strategy made sure that CSK met the goal that the Rajasthan Royals had set, which helped them win a vital match.

However, the Rajasthan Royals had to deal with the unpredictability of the tournament surfaces, which brought to light the difficulties that clubs confront when playing away from home.
Both CSK and RR will try to build on this encounter as the IPL 2024 season goes on, picking up important lessons that might influence how they perform in the competition going forward.
