Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday secured a commanding six-wicket victory over Chennai Super Kings in their IPL 2025 encounter, driven by a brilliant half-century from 14-year-old prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Chasing 188, RR reached the target comfortably, thanks to a match-defining 98-run partnership between Suryavanshi and skipper Sanju Samson.
Opting to bat first, CSK endured a shaky start, losing early wickets and slumping to 78 for five within the first eight overs. However, crucial contributions from young opener Ayush Mhatre, who scored a brisk 43 off 20 balls, and Dewald Brevis, with a fluent 42 off 25, helped them recover and post a competitive 187/8 at the end of 20 overs.
