8 batsman Krishnappa Gowtham’s unbeaten 33 off 11 balls led Rajasthan Royals to a three-wicket victory in another dramatic finish at Jaipur. The win took Chennai to the top of the table with eight points from five matches. “I think the wickets have become better compared to the first few years of the IPL,” Chennai captain MS Dhoni said. After the second wicket produced 129 off 82 balls, Mumbai could score only another 37 runs in almost six overs. “Not easy to lose close games, and that’s why I’ve not been too critical of our bowlers,” Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma said.
