IPL 2025: Rajasthan Royals Topple Chennai Super Kings as Suryavanshi Stars

Rajasthan Royals' Vaibhav Suryavanshi celebrates after scoring a match-winning 57 runs against Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025.

In a clash with little consequence for the standings, Rajasthan Royals triumphed over Chennai Super Kings, clinching a comfortable victory by six wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The Royals ended their season on a high note, thanks in large part to the dazzling performance of 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, whose blistering 33-ball 57, including four boundaries and four sixes, helped his side chase down a target of 188.

Chennai Super Kings, already bottom of the table, suffered their 10th defeat of the season, failing to recover in the death overs after a promising start. Despite an entertaining knock from Ayush Mhatre and Dewald Brevis, CSK’s batting faltered in the final stages, with Shivam Dube and captain M.S. Dhoni unable to capitalize. The Super Kings could only manage 28 runs from the last four overs, putting their total in jeopardy.

For Rajasthan, pacers Yudhvir Singh and Madhwal were the stars with the ball, both claiming three wickets and putting pressure on CSK throughout the chase. The Royals’ clinical performance reflected the growing depth and energy in their squad, with Suryavanshi’s efforts in particular adding a touch of brilliance to an otherwise routine victory.

Match Highlights:

  • Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s quick-fire 57 anchored Rajasthan Royals’ successful chase.
  • CSK faltered in the death overs, managing only 28 runs in the final four overs.
  • Yudhvir Singh and Madhwal claimed three wickets each to help restrict CSK.
  • Rajasthan Royals finish their season with a commanding win, while CSK’s struggles continue.

As the IPL 2025 season winds down, Rajasthan Royals can take pride in their resilient finish, while Chennai Super Kings will look to regroup after another disappointing campaign.
