After the skies threatened to open up, Rajasthan Royals produced a downpour of wickets as Chennai Super Kings was consigned to a disastrous start in the season opener at the ACA-Barsapara Stadium here on Monday. The relentless display from the hosts\u2019 bowlers knocked out the visitors for 127.<\/p>\n

Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashed a 17-ball 52, with five towering sixes and four crisp fours, as the Riyan Parag-led outfit romped to an eight-wicket win with 47 balls to spare.<\/p>\n

Royals drew first blood after opting to bowl. Opener Sanju Samson\u2019s much-anticipated debut ended in a brief stay as he was castled by a peach of a delivery from left-arm seamer Nandre Burger in the second over.<\/p>\n

Jofra Archer made it worse for Super Kings when he sent back skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad with a full delivery that crashed into the stumps. Ayush Mhatre fell for a golden duck as a searing short ball from Burger kissed the glove. Super Kings was reeling at 19 for three at that stage.<\/p>\n

Impact Player Sarfaraz Khan counterattacked, pulling Burger for a boundary through mid-wicket and lofting a length ball over deep-midwicket.<\/p>\n

The introduction of the ever-reliable Sandeep Sharma ended Mathew Short\u2019s stay as he misjudged a loopy delivery and was caught at mid-wicket, leaving Super Kings precariously placed at 41 for four in the PowerPlay.<\/p>\n

Debutant Kartik Sharma, who joined Sarfaraz, dispatched leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi over deep square-leg for a maximum. Just as the duo looked to rebuild, Ravindra Jadeja, playing in pink, struck. The left-arm spinner trapped Sarfaraz in front and forced Shivam Dube to mishit to long-off.<\/p>\n

Brijesh Sharma, making his debut for Rajasthan, had Kartik leg-before with a full-length delivery. Jamie Overton\u2019s determined knock \u2014 43 (36b, 2×4, 2×6) \u2014 pushed Super Kings past the 120-run mark. Once Suryavanshi emerged from the dugout, the result was never in doubt.<\/p>\n
