The Rajasthan Royals (RR) are hosting the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) tonight (March 30) in match 11 of IPL 2025 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss and invited the hosts to bat first in the contest, considering the dew factor in the second innings.
RR opener Yashasvi Jaiswal hit a four and departed immediately in the first over, bowled by left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed. The Royals' management promoted experienced Nitish Rana to the number three position after Riyan Parag failed in the role during previous games.
The move worked wonders as Rana smashed his way to 81 (36), setting up a great platform for his side. Ravichandran Ashwin dismissed the southpaw in the 12th over with a wide delivery, which resulted in a simple stumping for MS Dhoni. Riyan Parag (37) and Shimron Hetmyer (19) then chipped in with contributions in the later phase of the innings. They helped take RR to a respectable total of 182 for nine in 20 overs.

"It feels great to get back the Purple cap. I hope I can keep it till the end of the IPL 2025. I tried to bowl both leg break and wrong un but the wrong uns were gripping more so I bowled those more than the other one."
He continued:
"I always try to contribute for my team in any way possible be it bowling or fielding. I knew any full delivery will go for boundaries so I kept my length back. Hopefully we can chase it down if we get a good start.
