Chennai Super Kings register a thrilling win over Rajasthan Royals in IPL match | A blistering 56-ball century by opener Murali Vijay helped the Chennai Super Kings keep their semifinal hopes alive,
as they beat Rajasthan Royals by 23 runs in a thrilling Indian Premier League match on Saturday. It was a match cricket lovers here will never like to forget
simply due to an explosive 56-ball 127 by opener Murali Vijay and his 152-run
partnership for the third wicket with Albie Morkel. It helped Chennai Super Kings
to post a big total of 246 for five in their 20 overs. After winning the toss
and opting to bat first, the Super Kings were on a roll with Vijay, following
up on his 78 in the previous game, leading the way with a sublime innings that
took the edge out of the Rajasthan Royals' attack. Lending Vijay a good support
was fellow-opener Matthew Hayden who made a rapid 34 (24b, 1 x 6, 5 x 4) before
Morkel joined him after Suresh Raina (13) fell cheaply to indulge in big-hitting
that saw the Super Kings piling on 91 runs in the first 10 overs and a further
155 in the next 10. The hosts later restricted Rajasthan to 223 for five, as opener
Naman Ojha's unbeaten 55-ball 94 and Shane Watson's 60 off 25 balls went in vain.

Raina, S Badrinath, S Anirudha, Albie Morkel, Muttiah Muralitharan, S Jakati,
