That's It! What a thriller! Till the first ball of the last over, the match was tilted towards CSK with MS Dhoni out there. But he got dismissed and then it became too big for the batters on crease. Jamie Overton hit one straight over the bowler's head but it was not enough in the end. Riyan Parag will be happy as he led the team to their first victory of the season. 

30 Mar, 23:24 (IST)

Out! Anticlimactic end for MS Dhoni. He was looking set for one or two more hits but miscues the slower yorker from Sandeep Sharma straight to the hands of deep mid-wicket. Shimron Hetmyer takes a very good catch in the deep. RR stay ahead. Dhoni c Hetmyer b Sandeep Sharma 16(11).

30 Mar, 23:17 (IST)

Chennai Super Kings need 39 runs off the last 12 balls and both MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja has played out the spin overs and are waiting for the last overs of seam bowling. They have set the chase up and it is time for one final push. 

30 Mar, 23:05 (IST)

Out! Massive wicket for Rajasthan Royals as it is Ruturaj Gaikwad who departs. He was striking the ball clean and his wicket will hurt CSK. Wanindu Hasaranga floated one up again, but it was the slow leg-break and not the googly Gaikwad anticipated. The connection is off and Yashasvi Jaiswal settles to take a comfortable catch. RR are confident here. Gaikwad c Jaiswal b Hasaranga 63(44).

30 Mar, 22:49 (IST)

Fifty! Ruturaj Gaikwad remains the lone fighter on the crease. He came in when CSK were struggling to get going in the powerplay and he has held the innings together despite wickets tumbling at the other end. He completed his half-century in just 37 deliveries. 

30 Mar, 22:42 (IST)

Out! Wanindu Hasaranga is on a roll here. First floats one up with the conventional leg spin and allows Vijay Shankar to hit a big six. The next ball is the googly without the change of grip and foxes Shankar to clean him up. RR has their tail up here.  Shankar b Hasaranga 9(6).

30 Mar, 22:35 (IST)

Out! What a catch from Riyan Parag. Shivam Dube was attacking Wanindu Hasaranga and he still shows the courage to go full and Dube drives him full blooded to the covers. Riyan Parag dives and takes a blinder of a catch. RR strongly remain afloat in the game with this wicket. Shivam Dube c Riyan Parag b Hasaranga 18(10).

30 Mar, 22:15 (IST)

Out! Wanindu Hasaranga strikes in his first over. Rahul Tripathi had to attack and the seventh over going cheap also increased the pressure. Hasaranga was short and on the pads, Tripathi went for the pull but just didn't get the gap and got holed out in the deep. CSK under more pressure now. Tripathi c Hetmyer b Hasaranga 23(19) .

30 Mar, 22:09 (IST)

The last two overs of the powerplay has been good for CSK. First Rahul Tripathi finally got off some runs from Jofra Archer and then Ruturaj Gaikwad crunched two good shots off Sandeep Sharma to end the powerplay on a high for CSK. Gaikwad has to take the game deep while Tripathi will look to attack. 

30 Mar, 21:58 (IST)

Finally Rahul Tripathi's desperate attempts to get a boundary helps with two boundary in the last two balls of the fourth over. Jofra Archer has been bowling some rockets and either of Tripathi or Ruturaj Gaikwad have struggled to put bat on ball. He took the chance against Tushar Deshpande and it paid off for a little. CSK have a tough task in hand.

Chennai Super Kings on the other hand are coming out of a crushing defeat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. More than the defeat, there has been controversy over MS Dhoni's batting position and the MA Chidambaram Stadium's pitch. CSK has struggled to chase big scores in the past few years and their batting has not instilled confidence that things can change soon. Ruturaj Gaikwad has left is opening slot and left it for Rahul Tripathi who has struggled against bouncers in both games. Deepak Hooda has failed to stabilise the middle overs and the except for Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra, none have looked like scoring runs.  The presence of three spinners in their playing XI has also left them a seamer short. Gaikwad will have to address all these problems to get back to winning ways.

RR vs CSK IPL 2025 Live Scorecard

It will be another match for Rajasthan Royals where Riyan Parag will continue captaincy. Yashashvi Jaiswal is yet to score impactful runs while Riyan Parag has struggled to set himself with the tempo at number three. Nitish Rana has also not contributed runs the overseas bowling trio of Jofra Archer, Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana has not been the best weapon for the captain. If the surface is slow again, RR will lose their edge over CSK. But if it is a high scoring game, the RR batters can make a difference as they have played some good cricket with the bat in the opening game against SRH. IPL 2025: Nick Knight Questions Chennai Super Kings’ Tactical Shake-Up, Calls for Ruturaj Gaikwad-Devon Conway Reunion.
