Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings, 15th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

They are the high-flying sides in the current edition of the Indian Premier League, but one of Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings are set to taste their first defeat in IPL 2015 when both sides face off in the former's home game at the Sardar Patel Stadium in Ahmedabad. Rajasthan have won four games under the able leadership of Steven Smith while MS Dhoni has led IPL's most consistent team to three wins in a row.

Shane Watson has declared that he is fit and available for selection. RR's stand-in skipper Smith will hand over the captaincy duties and Chris Morris might have to make way if Watson makes it to the eleven. For CSK, apart from Jadeja everybody have been in decent form. It remains to be seen if MS Dhoni makes the brave call of dropping the Indian all-rounder.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and decided to bat first. Chennai Super Kings were unchanged. Shane Watson was back to lead the Rajasthan Royals side and he replaced Tim Southee. RR also brought in Ankit Sharma in place of Dhawal Kulkarni.

Chennai Super Kings (Playing XI): Dwayne Smith, Brendon McCullum, Suresh Raina, Faf du Plessis, MS Dhoni(w/c), Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohit Sharma, Ishwar Pandey, Ashish Nehra

Rajasthan Royals (Playing XI): Ajinkya Rahane, Sanju Samson(w), Steven Smith, Shane Watson(c), Karun Nair, Deepak Hooda, Stuart Binny, James Faulkner, Chris Morris, Ankit Sharma, Pravin Tambe

Ankit Sharma was given the ball for the first over and he started expensively, conceding a couple of boundaries to Brendon McCullum. Both were loose deliveries, one down the leg-side and one short outside-off, which McCullum duly dispatched to the boundary. Chris Morris made up for the expensive first over by conceding just a couple off the second to keep the CSK batsmen in check.

McCullum managed his third four when he hit one straight back at Pravin Tambe, who was late to react and the ball beat the fielder at long-off. However, the bowler came back well by dismissing the Black Caps opener off his next delivery. McCullum looked to pull it over mid-wicket, but failed to time it and departed on 12 after handing a catch to James Faulkner at mid-on. Deepak Hooda came under attack in the next over as Dwayne Smith scored back-to-back boundaries.
