Rajasthan Royals secured their first IPL 2025 win against Chennai Super Kings, thanks to Nitish Rana`s explosive innings.

Rajasthan Royals clinched their first victory of IPL 2025, defeating Chennai Super Kings by six runs in a thrilling encounter. Batting first, RR set a challenging target of 182 runs for CSK, with Nitish Rana leading the charge, scoring an explosive 81 runs off just 36 balls. His innings was crucial in building a competitive score for the Royals.

In response, CSK struggled to maintain momentum during their chase. Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad managed to score 63 runs off 45 balls, but his dismissal triggered a collapse in the batting order. MS Dhoni, who came in at number 7, briefly reignited hopes for CSK with a quick 16 runs off 11 balls, but was ultimately dismissed by Sandeep Sharma in the final over, leaving CSK needing 19 runs to clinch the win.

Despite the loss, Dhoni displayed commendable sportsmanship by checking on injured RR coach Rahul Dravid post-match. Additionally, RR`s stand-in captain Riyan Parag faced a fine of Rs 12 lakhs for a slow over-rate during the game. With this victory, RR aims to build momentum ahead of their next match against Punjab Kings, while CSK finds itself languishing at number 7 on the points table.
