Right then, that is it from this rather one-sided affair where the Rajasthan Royals keep the Chennai Super Kings at the bottom. Next up is a huge clash in the context of playoffs qualification as Mumbai Indians take on Delhi Capitals on 21st May, Wednesday in Wankhede. That will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but as you know, you can join us early for all the build-up to the match. Until then, cheers and goodbye!

Akash Madhwal is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his excellent bowling spell.

Sanju Samson, the victorious skipper of Rajasthan Royals, says that it feels good to win the last game, and they did think about setting a target rather than risk the chase at one stage. Mentions that they have a young bowling lineup which is missing a couple of key bowlers, but it was brilliant to see the likes of Madhwal performing. Further adds that Madhwal worked very closely with Shane Bond, and eventually that has provided dividends. Mentions that it is difficult to win IPL because the game keeps changing, and even without a real difference in quality of the sides, the little things matter, and they will look to come back stronger. On young Vaibhav, he says that he has no words for him, especially that century in Jaipur, and it isn't slogging, it's proper batting, and even in this game, he showed great maturity in the middle overs.

Presentation Time...

Yashasvi Jaiswal is up for a quick chat. He says that the match has been pretty good for them, and he has enjoyed his batting out there. Adds that there have been a couple of injuries in the team, and the addition of Sanju Samson was a huge boost for them in these last matches. States that they will take good confidence from these wins going forward. Mentions that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi played really well, a mature inning and carried himself very well, even after the Powerplay, and it has been amazing to see him batting throughout the tournament. Further adds that the bowlers bowled really well in the death overs in the first inning, and they have made their strategies, which they executed perfectly there.

MS Dhoni, the CSK skipper, says that looking at the amount of runs they had in the Powerplay was impressive, but then the wickets column was on the negative side. Adds that the way Dewald Brevis played, it breathed new life into their innings, but they could have done better in the death overs. On Anshul Kamboj, Dhoni says that he is someone who can get a bit of movement and also can spear in those yorkers and is pleased to see him do well in the tough overs. On the next generation of players, Dhoni says that consistency is key and goes on to say that these guys can get the big hit at any stage of the game, and they need to back themselves and try and finish games off.

Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, once again struggled to execute their plans with the ball - a recurring theme in what's been a forgettable season. Anshul Kamboj provided an early breakthrough, but they couldn’t capitalise on it. The spinners couldn’t create much pressure either, and though Ravichandran Ashwin and Noor Ahmad picked up three wickets between them, the damage had already been done. It was another disappointing outing for the Men in Yellow, capping off a season they'd rather forget.

Earlier in the game, CSK managed to put up a competitive total, thanks to crucial contributions from Ayush Mhatre, Brevis, and Dube. However, they couldn’t quite shift gears in the death overs and fell short of the explosive finish they would’ve hoped for. Yudhvir impressed with the ball, claiming three important wickets, while Hasaranga kept things tight in the middle overs with a tidy spell and a crucial scalp. Deshpande added one to his tally, and Madhwal wrapped things up with a fine three-wicket haul to keep the CSK batters in check.

The Rajasthan Royals openers got off to a blazing start, with Jaiswal setting the tone early with a brisk 36. After his dismissal, it was young Vaibhav Sooryavanshi who stepped up, forging a brilliant 98-run partnership with skipper Sanju Samson. The teenager continued his fine form with another classy fifty, but both he and Samson fell in the same over, causing a few jitters in the dugout. However, Dhruv Jurel stepped up when it mattered, playing a fiery cameo to guide RR home comfortably, finally breaking their jinx while chasing.

Rajasthan Royals cruise to a commanding victory! They've done the double over Chennai Super Kings this season, and for the first time ever, the Men in Yellow are staring at a bottom-place finish in IPL history.

Matheesha Pathirana To Dhruv Jurel

SIX! GAME, SET AND MATCH! Dhruv Jurel finishes in some style, and the Rajasthan Royals have registered a win in their last match by six wickets in the IPL 2025! Slightly full and around middle, Dhruv Jurel gets low a bit and slogs it over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie. This is a thumping win for the Royals with 17 balls to spare.

Ravichandran Ashwin To Shimron Hetmyer

SIX! PUMPED! Ashwin tosses it up now and keeps it around off, Shimron Hetmyer dances down the track and launches it over the wide long on fence for a biggie. RR just need 6 runs now.

16.5

Ravichandran Ashwin To Shimron Hetmyer

FOUR! DEFT TOUCH! Ashwin darts in full but errs in the line as he goes down the leg side, Shimron Hetmyer presses back and just gets some bat on it, which was needed, and plays it very finely. The ball goes over the ropes at deep fine leg for a boundary.

16.4

Ravichandran Ashwin To Dhruv Jurel

Quicker, flat, on a tempting length and around middle, Dhruv Jurel goes back and punches it to long on for a single.

16.3

Ravichandran Ashwin To Dhruv Jurel

SIX! Bang, goes Dhruv Jurel! Darted in full and towards leg stump, Jurel just gets inside the line and smokes it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie.

16.2

Ravichandran Ashwin To Dhruv Jurel

Flatter one, angled in towards middle and leg, Jurel stays back and taps it to mid-wicket.

16.1

Ravichandran Ashwin To Shimron Hetmyer

Bowled relatively full and outside off, Hetmyer leans on and strokes it through extra cover for one.

Ravichandran Ashwin will bowl out here.

Noor Ahmad To Shimron Hetmyer

Dragged length at the stumps, Hetmyer works it off the back foot and through mid-wicket for an easy single.

15.5

Noor Ahmad To Shimron Hetmyer

Beaten! Fired in quicker and around off, staying a bit low, Shimron Hetmyer backs away to cut but misses.

15.5

Noor Ahmad To Shimron Hetmyer

FIVE WIDES! Oh, that's poor from Noor Ahmad! Tossed up, but quicker and down the leg side, darting further down. Shimron Hetmyer misses the nudge and the ball skips quickly past MS Dhoni into the fine leg fence for 5 extra runs.

Shimron Hetmyer is the new batter in.

15.4

Noor Ahmad To Riyan Parag OUT!

OUT! TIMBER! Another twist in the tale? Noor Ahmad tosses the ball up a bit full and hangs it slightly outside off. Riyan Parag thinks it is the googly that is going to turn away, and reaches out to play with the spin. However, the ball holds its line and takes the inside edge before crashing into the stumps, and the CSK spinners are keeping their side with an outside chance here. RR now 4 down for 158, still needing 30 runs.

15.4

Noor Ahmad To Riyan Parag

Wide! Quicker one, just sliding down the leg side, Parag fails to work it away and a wide is called.

15.3

Noor Ahmad To Dhruv Jurel

Length ball on middle and leg, worked away from the crease and through mid-wicket for a single.

15.2

Noor Ahmad To Dhruv Jurel

FOUR! Jurel has done brilliantly to take the sting out after those couple of quick wickets. Too full and around leg, Jurel sits down and just paddles it really fine for a boundary.

15.1

Noor Ahmad To Dhruv Jurel

Fractionally short and angled across off, Dhruv Jurel rocks back and powers the pull wide enough of deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs.

A bit fuller and around off, punched off the front foot and down to long off for a sensible single. The 150 comes up for RR and they now need 38 off 30 balls.

14.5

Ravindra Jadeja To Dhruv Jurel

FOUR! Releasing the pressure! Slightly short again but down the leg side, Jurel flicks it off the pads and around the corner for a boundary now.

14.4

Ravindra Jadeja To Dhruv Jurel

SIX! On the shorter side and Dhruv Jurel latches onto it! This is bowled quick and over middle, Jurel hangs back and pulls it handsomely over deep mid-wicket for a biggie.
