Royals No. 2 after Watson assault

At the end of the day, this is a thrashing. The Super Kings have been beaten comprehensively. Rajasthan have won all their home games. 93 off just 45, that partnership, an all-out attack against the Chennai bowlers. Royals have climbed to No.2 in the points table. Devashish Fuloria's report should be ready in some time. Just superb hitting from both Watson and Binny. The Rajasthan players are doing a lap of the ground to thank their home fans, they've won each game here and have been very well supported. We'll get you presentation details in a bit.
