Against the Rajasthan Royals (RR), Chennai Super Kings (CSK) faced newcomer Vijay Shankar in the eleventh IPL 2025 match.
Wanindu Hasaranga was dismissed in the first innings of the current game at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati by Shankar, who made his first appearance of the season with a spectacular catch.
Because of Ravindra Jadeja’s full-length delivery on the slot, the batter was tempted to attempt a massive slog sweep. On its way to the deep mid-wicket, the ball travelled. With all eyes on the ball, Shankar ran in, dove in the direction of the ball, and made the catch. It was very important to the Tamil Nadu cricket player to maintain his hands under the ball. The catch was clean as a whistle, according to the replay, but the on-field umpires went upstairs to be sure.

Shankar’s new club had an incredible start to the season. Additionally, he will want to enjoy and remember his time with the bat. Huge attackers are lacking in CSK’s lineup, therefore the all-rounder will be eager to fill that position in the middle order. In the meantime, RR reached a respectable total because to Nitish Rana’s fantastic 81 runs in 36 balls, which included 10 boundaries and five sixes.
