CSK vs RR Head-to-Head

The rivalry between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the IPL dates back to the tournament’s inaugural season in 2008. Both franchises were among the original eight teams, with RR creating history by winning the first-ever IPL title under Shane Warne’s captaincy. CSK, led by MS Dhoni, quickly emerged as one of the most dominant teams, securing five IPL titles (2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, and 2023).

Over the years, their contests have produced thrilling encounters, including the 2008 final, where RR triumphed over CSK in the very first edition of the tournament. The highest total in a CSK vs RR fixture is 246, scored by CSK, and the lowest total is 109, scored by CSK as well. Murali Vijay and Ruturaj Gaikwad have scored centuries for CSK against RR, while Shane Watson has scored a century each for Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings. In the IPL 2025, the two teams faced off against each other in Guwahati on March 30 in the league stage. RR won the close encounter by six runs after defending the target of 183. Nitish Rana becomes the Man of the Match for his 81-run knock. These two teams will again play in Chennai on May 12 in a reverse fixture. (via IPL's official website)
