CSK vs RR (20/5): Who won yesterday’s IPL 2025 match?

Rajasthan Royals (RR) beat Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by six wickets in yesterday's IPL 2025 match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. RR thus ended their campaign on a high, registering their fourth win of the tournament. Bowling first after winning the toss, Rajasthan held Chennai to 187-8 and then chased down the total in 17.1 overs.

Having suffered numerous setbacks in chases in IPL 2025, RR finally came up with a clinical performance while batting second and finished on the right side of the result. Rajasthan's openers Vaibhav Suryavanshi (57 off 33) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (36 off 19) yet again got the team off to a flyer, adding 37 in 3.4 overs.

Jaiswal was the aggressor in the partnership. He slammed five fours and two sixes before being knocked over by Anshul Kamboj. Suryavanshi and Sanju Samson (41 off 31) then added 98 for the second wicket to put RR on the path to victory. Suryavanshi picked his bowlers smartly and raced to a 27-ball fifty by smashing Noor Ahmad for a six to deep square leg.

Ravichandran Ashwin struck twice in the 14th over to give CSK some hope. Samson holed out trying to hit a carrom ball, while Suryavanshi top-edged a heave. The 14-year-old struck four fours and as many sixes in his blazing knock. Noor then knocked over Riyan Parag (3). Dhruv Jurel (31* off 12), however, played a stunning cameo to take Rajasthan home to a consolation win.

Akash Madhwal claims 3 as RR restrict CSK to 187-8

Sent into bat, CSK got off to a poor start as Devon Conway (10) chipped a simple catch to mid-off off Yudhvir Singh's bowling. In the same over, Kwena Maphaka took a well-judged catch to send back Urvil Patel for a duck. Ayush Mhatre (43 off 20) played a fine hand before perishing in an attempt to take on Tushar Deshpande - Maphaka took another good catch, running in from the boundary.

CSK's decision to promote Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja backfired and the all-rounders fell for 13 and one respectively. Dewald Brevis (42 off 25) and Shivam Dube (39 off 32) gave the innings some momentum, but skipper MS Dhoni (16 off 17) failed to provide the finishing touches. All three batters fell to RR pacer Akash Madhwal, who finished with excellent figures of 3-29.
