And an amazing team effort which saw CSK clinch this one quite comfortably.
If Dwayne Bravo's two catches and spectacular bowling was the highlight of the win, Ravindra Jadeja delivered when it mattered most with a four-wicket haul.
Also Mohit Sharma shined with a crucial three-wicket haul which meant that RR were outplayed by a total team effort.
So CSK are almost through to qualify with this win which sees them as table-toppers whereas RR have to buck up and deliver in their remaining games.
