CSK's victory has boosted chances for teams who are looking to qualify with seven wins.
After a long wait, IPL 2020 finally got its first team to officially qualify for the play-offs. Mumbai Indians, who are sitting at the top of the table, have registered their name into the top four after Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) victory against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Thursday (October 29).
Rajasthan Royals (RR) were delighted after CSK's six-wicket victory over KKR. The win was helpful for other franchises as well. It boosts their chances to qualify for the top four with just seven wins.
Before the match, RR had showed their support to CSK with a 'whistle podu' tweet. CSK responded with a popular 'Vadivelu meme', acknowledging the support.
It was Ravindra Jadeja's 11-ball 31* runs knock which sealed the game for CSK. After the victory, Rajasthan tweeted, "Once a Royal, always a Royal. ????" for Jadeja. He was a part of the franchise in 2008 and 2009, and was nicknamed 'rockstar' by legendary spinner Shane Warne who led the side in their initial years.
