Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are taking on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match number 62 of IPL 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Both teams have been knocked out of the playoffs race. CSK are in last place, with six points from 12 matches. On the other hand, RR are in ninth place, with six points from 13 games.
Chennai beat Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by two wickets in their previous match at the Eden Gardens on May 7. Bowling first, CSK did a good job to restrict KKR to 179-6. Left arm wrist spinner Noor Ahmad impressed with 4-31. In the chase, Chennai got over the line courtesy of Dewald Brevis (52 off 25) and Shivam Dube (45 off 40). Debutant Urvil Patel (31 off 11) played a blazing cameo.
For Rajasthan, it was the same old story all over again as they failed to chase down a target against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their previous match in Jaipur. Batting first, PBKS posted 219-5. In the chase, RR finished on 209-7 despite blazing efforts from Yashasvi Jaiswal (50 off 25), Vaibhav Suryavanshi (40 off 15) and Dhruv Jurel (53 off 31).

Today's CSK vs RR pitch report
“It’s a warm evening. This wicket looks very similar to the last game (DC vs GT). There was some rough, and we thought there was going to be some turn. But, at most, it was about an inch or so. There is a slight bit of grass, but it looks very similar to the last game. Put runs on the board.” - Simon Doull and Graeme Swann
