The Super Kings had earlier posted a total of 187-8 with Dewald Brevis striking a quick-fire 42 off 25 balls while opener Ayush Mhatre scored 43 from 20 deliveries.

Shivam Dube gave the innings a late boost with 39 off 32 balls but they were pegged back by the Royals bowlers with Akash Madhwal finishing with figures of 3-29 in his four overs.

Yudhvir Singh also took three scalps but went for 47 runs in his four overs while Tushar Deshpande and Wanindu Hasaranga took a wicket apiece.

It was a 10th defeat in 13 matches this season for the Super Kings and MS Dhoni's charges end their campaign on Sunday when they take on Gujarat Titans.
