Rajasthan Royals emerged victorious in a thrilling match against Chennai Super Kings where CSK skipper MS Dhoni failed to lead his team to victory. Dhoni was playing his 200th match as the captain of CSK but could only score a single run on the last ball against Sandeep Sharma's Yorker. After the match, it was revealed that Dhoni was nursing a knee injury. As CSK gears up to face Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore, all eyes will be on the two former Indian captains. While Kohli smashed a fifty in RCB's recent victory over Delhi Capitals, Dhoni's injury will be a cause for concern for his team.
