Murali Vijay playing a trademark shot for CSK

The 32nd match in IPL 2010 was played between CSK and RR. The toss was won by Chennai who had elected to bat first. Chennai again got off to a great start with a 62-run partnership between Murali Vijay & Matthew Hayden who was out after scoring 34. The next wicket to fall was that of Suresh Raina out for 13.

What happened next was undoubtedly the key highlight of the match - a 152 runs partnership between Murali Vijay & Albie Morkel. Morkel was dismissed when he was on 62. Murali Vijay, who had faced almost half of the deliveries of the innings scored 127. His innings included 8 fours and a massive 11 sixes. The partnership between Murali Vijay & Morkel was instrumental in CSK reaching 246/5.

Rajasthan Royals in reply did have a few good performances including 94* by Naman Ojha, 60 by Shane Watson and 37 by Michael Lumb. But the other batsmen did not deliver, as a result, Rajasthan could only manage 223/5 at the end of 20 overs.

Murali Vijay deservedly was awarded the Player of the Match Trophy. His 127 was the highest individual score in IPL 2010. CSK's innings was the highest team total of the 2010 tournament.
