The Rajasthan Royals (RR) have finally opened their account in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. After two stuttering defeats, captain Riyan Parag has tasted success for the first time, beating the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by six runs on Sunday, March 30 in Guwahati.

Nitish Rana hit a magnificent half-century to set up the win before the bowlers contributed massively in front of the Assamese crowd. They even got to witness MS Dhoni smacking boundaries, while Ruturaj Gaikwad's fifty came in a losing cause.

Now that Match 11 of IPL 2025 is in the history books, let us look at the list of award winners, scorecard and records broken from the RR vs CSK clash.

Rajasthan's batting started with Yashasvi Jaiswal failing another time. However, Nitish Rana (81) tormented the CSK bowling with a counter-attacking display. He single-handedly wreaked havoc to take RR to 79 in the powerplay.

However, all the other Rajasthan batters completely faltered and couldn't convert starts. Riyan Parag (37) set himself for death overs but couldn't go till the last. Noor Ahmad continued his wicket-taking spree and took 2/28.

Chasing 183 on a better Guwahati track, CSK failed to get a good start. Man-in-form Rachin Ravindra scored a duck while skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad steadied the ship.

However, Rahul Tripathi (23), Shivam Dube (18) and Vijay Shankar (9) all became Wanindu Hasaranga's victim. Gaikwad looked set to bat for the entire 20 overs but failed to do so and even he was out to the Sri Lankan leg-spinner, who took 4/35.

CSK had MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja at the crease at the end but the veterans couldn't finish it off. Sandeep Sharma defended 20 runs in the last over to see RR through.
