In Match No. 62 of the Indian Premier League 2025, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) defeated the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by a thrilling margin of six wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. A high-stakes match was set up when RR captain Sanju Samson decided to bowl first after winning the toss.
Ayush Mhatre led the innings with a cool 43 off 20 balls, while Dewald Brevis added some late impetus with 42 runs as CSK recorded a respectable total of 187 for 8 in their 20 overs. The hosts lost half of the team in eight overs due to early wickets, notwithstanding their contributions. Although Ashwin’s explosive 13 off 8 balls scored vital runs, the CSK batters were always under pressure from RR bowlers Yudhvir Singh and Akash Madhwal’s tight bowling. Together, the youthful pacers’ devastating combo took six wickets, shattering CSK’s back.
Chasing 188, the Rajasthan Royals’ chase was expertly supported by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who put up an incredible 36 off 19 balls to lay a strong foundation. Vaibhav Suryavanshi (57) and Sanju Samson (41) both performed admirably in their roles. With more than 2.5 overs remaining, RR won by a commanding 6-wicket margin thanks to the efforts of Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel, who made sure the chase went smoothly.
The only bowler who was able to hold the RR batsmen in check was Ashwin, who claimed two wickets. However, in order to precisely set up the chase, RR’s disciplined bowling restrained CSK at key points.
