IPL 2025 ke ek zabardast thriller mein Rajasthan Royals (RR) ne Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ko 6 run se hara diya, aur is saal ki pehli jeet apne naam ki. Nitish Rana ke explosive 81-run knock aur Wanindu Hasaranga ke game-changing 4 wickets ne CSK ka chase derail kar diya.
Chennai ke naye skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad ne 44 balls mein 63 runs (7 fours, 1 six) maar ke fight zaroor dikhayi, lekin Hasaranga ke strikes ne CSK ke hopes ko kaafi hurt kiya. CSK ki inning 176/6 par ruk gayi, aur yeh unki tournament ki doosri continuous haar rahi.
Ravindra Jadeja (32* off 22) aur MS Dhoni (16 off 11) ne end mein kuch fireworks kiye. 19th over mein Dhoni ne ek six aur ek four maar ke 19 runs nikaale, lekin last over mein Sandeep Sharma ne kamaal kar diya – sirf 13 runs diye aur Dhoni ka crucial wicket bhi nikala, thanks to a stunning catch by Shimron Hetmyer!
Earlier, RR ki batting ne bhi mixed show diya. Jab tak Riyan Parag aur Nitish Rana pitch par the, lag raha tha 200+ score banega. Lekin unke out hote hi momentum toot gaya, aur team sirf 182/9 tak hi pahuch pai. Last 8 overs mein sirf 52 runs aaye.
CSK bowlers mein Khaleel Ahmed, Noor Ahmed aur Mathisha Pathirana ne 2-2 wickets liye. Lekin chase ke dauraan CSK ke top-order ne disappoint kiya. Rachin Ravindra</strong zero pe out ho gaye, Rahul Tripathi</strong ne 23 (19) ki slow innings kheli. Shivam Dube</strong ne ek flashy 18 off 10 khela, lekin woh bhi jyada der tak tik nahi paaye.
Final moments mein Gaikwad ne team ko match mein banaye rakha, lekin pressure mein woh bhi wicket de baithe. Hasaranga ne CSK ke middle-order ko hilake rakh diya, aur RR ne ek important win secure kiya.
RR ke liye yeh jeet morale boost karegi, jabki CSK ko apni batting ko lekar kuch tough sawalon ka samna karna padega.
