Steve Smith took an amazing catch (video below report) but his Rajasthan Royals succumbed to Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League.

Skipper Shane Watson won the toss and sent CSK in to bat, and he would have been happy when his bowlers restricted the MS Dhoni-led side to 6-140 off 20 overs.

But the Royals batsmen struggled in response and were knocked over for 133, with No.10 Dhawal Kulkarni top-scoring with 28.

Watson, batting at No.4, made just seven and Smith could manage only 19 with CSK’s Ravindra Jadeja taking 4-33 from his four overs.

After Watson holed out and young No.3 Sanju Samson (16) hit a return catch Jadeja was on a hat-trick, but Smith managed to safely dig out a full pitch delivery.

Tasmanian swing bowler Ben Hilfenhaus took 1-32 and also held onto a good catch to get rid of Watson.

The other Australian in the match, allrounder James Faulkner, made four runs in the Royals’ pursuit after his expensive 1-38 from three overs with the ball.

Earlier, Dwayne Smith was the aggressor for CSK and made 50 off 28 balls with six fours and three sixes.

After his departure no batsman really got going for CSK other than man of the match Jadeja (36no).

Rajat Bhatia was brilliant for Rajasthan, taking 2-13 from his four overs.

CSK are now second on the IPL table with two wins from their three games ahead of a Saturday morning (AEST) clash with the Mumbai Indians.

The Royals are fifth in the eight-team tournament with a 1-2 record.

Watson said he is considering a move up the order, along with some other possible line-up changes, for his side’s next match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday night (AEST).
