According to the TV replays, the ball had not edged Tom Curran's bat but had gone off the thigh pad. In fact, the ball had also bounced in front of MS Dhoni before he got hold of it. Tom Curran who was given out and was walking back towards the dressing room was called back to resume batting. Eventually, the Englishman scored an uneaten 10 off nine deliveries. Rajasthan set a gigantic target of 217 for Chennai to chase.

The Men in Yellow had a good start to their innings, however, in the end, they fell short by 15 runs as Rajasthan kicked off their Dream11 IPL 2020 campaign with a solid win.
