RR vs CSK IPL 2025 Highlights: Rajasthan Royals beat Chennai Super Kings by six runs in Guwahati

Rajasthan have bagged this one. What a game we had. That went down to the final over despite CSK playing catch-up for the majority of the chase. RR are on the board with a win.

Dhoni is gone. This was a low full-toss and he is caught at deep mid-wicket.

I can't believe, but we are down to the final over with game still alive. 19 from Tushar's over. 

A quiet over for only six runs. CSK now need 39 off the final 2 overs.

Ruturaj is gone. Six and gone. That's the body blow. It might be it for Chennai now.

CSK captain Gaikwad gets to his fifty. A 38-ball half-ton for him. He holds the key for CSK here.

Vijay Shankar is beaten all ends up by Wanindu Hasaranga! Shankar walks for nine runs! CSK now 92/4.

An exceptional catch by RIyan Parag sees Shivam Dube's innings come to an end! CSK now 72-3.

Wanindu Hasaranga, off the very first ball that he bowls takes the wicket of Rahul Tripathi! The batter departs for 23, CSK now 46-2.

Chennai Super Kings are slowly building themselves back up. After the powerplay, the score reads 42-1, with Gaikwad and Tripathi on the crease.

Jofra gets his first wicket of the season and it is the big one of Rachin Ravindra. He was getting some seam after hitting the good length as Rachin was repeatedly beaten. This time, Rachin edges this and is caught behind. 

Here are the Chennai openers - Rachin Ravindra and Rahul Tripathi - in the middle. CSK have not chased a 180+ total since 2019. They will look to break the trend and hunt this down. Jofra Archer is in for RR with the ball first up. He hasn't had a good time so far in IPL 2025. Square leg and deep third at the fence. Off we go.

A single on the final ball as Rajasthan end on 182/9. This is a strong total, considering the spinners are getting assistance here. Nitish Rana the highlight with his 81. CSK did well to peg them back and keep them below 200 but this is a strong total, considering the conditions on offer.

Impact sub Kumar Kartikeya departs, he is run out by Khaleel Ahmed! RR now 175-8 after 18.5 overs, the side needs a big over from Hetmyer now.

Pathirana nails a brilliant yorker to get Riyan Parag. Parag was hurt on his elbow, and there was a break, which did it for him. RR are 6 down.

Vijay Shankar, paying his first game for CSK this season, pulls off a blinder at deep mid-wicket. He covered a lot of ground to get there and took a brilliant low catch while tumbling on the ground. Top stuff!

Jurel is gone early. RR losing a few here. Jurel looked to go over covers but gets a thick edge which is taken well by a diving Pathirana at short third.

End of the brilliant knock from Nitish Rana. Ashwin sends this wide as Rana charged down the wicket and is beaten to get stumped. End of a brilliant 81-run knock from Rana.

Noor Ahmad strikes and gets the crucial breakthrough. He gets Sanju Samson, who has holed it out to long-off. Parag is now in.

Rana is playing a brilliant knock here. He gets to his fifty off just 21 balls with that four over point.

Nitish Rana is playing well here. He is going risk-free and has hit three fours and a six.

Khaleel strikes again in the powerplay. Yashasvi Jaiswal started with a fabulous four and is gone third ball. He chipped this to mid-off to fall for four. 

The Royals openers are out in the middle and they will be looking for a solid start, which they haven't got so far in the tournament.

Would've done the same as well. My hometown, been brought up here and played a lot of cricket here, surreal feeling to play in front of all these people. We've done well in small bits, it's about coming together and putting up a collective performance. Same team for us.

Looks a good wicket, better than the last game that was played here so we'll look to chase. So far so good, it was a quick turnaround, very little time for us but that's how the IPL is.
