Sanju Samson's blistering 74 played a crucial part in propelling Rajasthan Royals (RR) to a 16-run victory over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Tuesday.

Samson's 32-ball 74 was the show's stellar act, while Jofra Archer's four consecutive sixes in the last over and leggie Rahul Tewatia's three-wicket burst also gave RR the edge over CSK. 

RR posted 216 for seven wickets in 20 overs, while three-time champions CSK finished with 200 for six wickets in 20 overs at the Sharjah International Stadium.
