IPL 2025's Match No. 11 was won by Rajasthan Royals (RR) against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by six runs on Sunday, March 30. With this, RR finally got their first points on the board this season, with Riyan Parag ready to hand over the captaincy with a win under his belt.
Nitish Rana exploded in the powerplay, getting to his 19th IPL half-century within the first six overs itself. Sanju Samson departed for a 16-ball 20. Nitish was all set to get to his maiden ton in the marquee T20 tournament. Other than Shimron Hetmyer, no other batter entered double-digit scores thereafter. Noor Ahmad and Matheesha Pathirana ended up with identical figures of 2/28 in four overs.
It was quite a laggard start for CSK. Although losing only one wicket, they only managed to score 42 runs in their powerplay. Ruturaj Gaikwad stuck along for a long time. However, he perished for a valiant 63-run knock. It was always going to be an uphill task with the required run rate steeply rising. Ravindra Jadeja ended up unbeaten on 32 off 22 deliveries. Wanindu Hasaranga was the star for RR, who picked up a four-wicket haul.
