Rajasthan Royals Secure Victory Against Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025 Finale

Rajasthan Royals Conclude IPL 2025 on a High Note

New Delhi [India] - Following their recent triumph over the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Tuesday, Yashasvi Jaiswal, the opener for Rajasthan Royals (RR), shared his reflections on the team's performance during the 62nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Rajasthan Royals wrapped up their disappointing campaign in the 18th season of IPL with a commendable six-wicket victory against CSK at the high-scoring venue.

During the post-match presentation, Jaiswal remarked, “It felt great. We put in our best effort, and I truly enjoyed the game. Despite facing some injuries, Sanju bhai returned after a few matches, and it was a solid performance for us. We will carry this confidence into the future. (on Suryavanshi) He played exceptionally well today, showcasing his talent throughout the tournament. (on the bowlers) They executed our plans effectively, and I encouraged them to approach their tasks with clarity and determination.”

Chasing a target of 188 runs, the Royals started strong, with the dynamic opening duo of Jaiswal and Suryavanshi putting pressure on the Chennai bowlers. Among the two left-handers, Jaiswal was particularly aggressive, launching an attack on Khaleel Ahmed and Anshul Kamboj.

He scored 36 runs off just 18 balls, punishing Khaleel with three boundaries and a massive six in the third over before Kamboj dismissed him with a slight inside edge that hit the stumps.

Suryavanshi and captain Sanju Samson formed a crucial partnership, adding 98 runs for the second wicket, significantly weakening Chennai's defense. The 14-year-old sensation from Rajasthan, Suryavanshi, celebrated his half-century in style by hitting a six over deep square.

Ravichandran Ashwin ended the 98-run partnership by dismissing Samson (41) and then Suryavanshi (57) in the same over. Noor Ahmad then took out Riyan Parag with a googly, but by that time, Chennai was already trailing far behind.

Dhruv Jurel and Shimron Hetmyer remained at the crease until the end, guiding Rajasthan to victory in their final match of the 18th season of the lucrative league.
