Magnificent innings from Buttler and this is a sensational win for @rajasthanroyals . K Gowtham ‘s two sixes were the turning point and what a wonderful buy he has turned out to be. Worth every penny spent. #RRvCSK

Prashant Chopra is an opener. Just like Tripathi. So is Rahane. #RR have found ways to make people bat in positions that aren’t familiar to them. Interesting. #RRvCSK #IPL
