Rajasthan Royals secured a six-run win over Chennai Super Kings in the 11th match of the IPL 2025 season at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Sunday, March 30.
Having been forced to bat first, Rajasthan Royals started well despite losing Yashasvi Jaiswal for just four runs. Nitish Rana was the star of the show, scoring 81 runs off 36 balls with 10 fours and five sixes.
Captain Riyan Parag was also exceptional, smacking 37 runs in 28 balls with two fours and as many sixes. Eventually, RR posted 182/9 in 20 overs. Khaleel Ahmed, Noor Ahmad, and Matheesha Pathirana scalped two wickets apiece for CSK.
In the chase, CSK started off on a slow note, scoring 42/2 in the powerplay. Rachin Ravindra (0), Rahul Tripathi (23), Shivam Dube (18), and Vijay Shankar (9) failed to live up to the expectations. However, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad stood tall, scoring an exceptional 63-run knock in 44 balls with seven fours and a six.
Ravindra Jadeja's 32* and MS Dhoni's 16 weren't enough in the death overs as CSK suffered a six-run defeat. Wanindu Hasaranga scalped a match-winning four-wicket haul while Jofra Archer and Sandeep Sharma picked up one wicket apiece.
