CSK vs RR LIVE Cricket Highlights: Rajasthan Royals, with the help of a half-century from Vaibhav Suryavanshi (57) and cameos from Sanju Samson (41) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (36), chased down the 188-run target set by Chennai Super Kings in their final league game to avoid a confirmed wooden spoon finish in IPL 2025. CSK will now need to secure a big win against Gujarat Titans in their final league match; otherwise, they will finish at the bottom of the IPL points table for the first time in their history.
In the match, RR won the toss and elected to bowl first. CSK’s openers once again disappointed, as Devon Conway (10) lost his wicket to Yudhvir Singh Charak in the second over, who removed Urvil Singh for a duck two balls later.
However, Ayush Mhatre (43) counterattacked and put the pressure back on RR before losing his wicket to Tushar Deshpande. His partner R Ashwin (13) lost his wicket the very next over, helping RR regain control. Ravindra Jadeja (1) also failed to deliver and was dismissed by Yudhvir Singh as CSK were reduced to 78 for 5.
Dewald Brevis (42) played yet another fiery innings but fell to Akash Madhwal, eight short of his half-century. Shivam Dube (39) and MS Dhoni (16) tried to provide CSK with a strong finish but both were dismissed by Akash Madhwal in the final over as CSK finished their innings at 186 for 8.
In reply, RR got off to a fiery start with the help of Yashasvi Jaiswal (36), whose innings was brought to an end by Anshul Kamboj. Skipper Sanju Samson (41) and Vaibhav Suryavanshi added 98 runs for the second wicket to put RR on course for a much-needed win before Samson was dismissed by R Ashwin, who three balls later also claimed the big wicket of Suryavanshi (57).
Noor Ahmad then removed Riyan Parag (3) to deny RR an easy finish. However, Dhruv Jurel (31* not out) and Shimron Hetmyer (12* not out) played some big shots to finish the chase with six wickets and 17 balls to spare for RR.
