It was a game full of excitement at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on March 30, 2025, where the Rajasthan Royals (RR) managed to win their initial match of the IPL 2025 season by only 6 runs against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

Match Highlights:

Rajasthan Royals Innings: RR made a tough score of 182/9 on the board by batting first. The key role in the innings was played by Nitish Rana, who hit a marvellous 81 runs off only 36 balls, i.e., very fast and effective batting, the like of which the CSK bowlers had no answer for.

Chennai Super Kings Innings: The reply from CSK was not at all what they expected. Hasaranga caused the major disruption for RR by getting 4/35. Although a very good attempt was made by Ruturaj Gaikwad, as he scored 63 runs off 44 balls, CSK were short at 176/6.

Key Moments:

• CSK were chasing with 17 runs needed from the final three balls. Jamie Overton utilised a strong shot, a six, he managed off Sandeep Sharma, but the rest was not enough, resulting in a win for RR of four runs.
• An interesting highlight came from CSK pacer Khaleel Ahmed, who, with a visibly charged-up reaction, bid farewell to RR opener Yashasvi Jaiswal after dismissing him in the first over, setting the game up as a fierce one.

What Players said After the Match?

• Riyan Parag: "It was a crucial win for us. Nitish Rana played a fantastic innings, and our bowlers, especially Hasaranga, delivered under pressure. We backed our plans, and they paid off."
• Wanindu Hasaranga : "I love to watch Telugu, Malayalam and Tamil movies. I got that celebration from the Pushpa film".
• Nitish Rana (Player of the Match): "I was just trying to ultiise the new ball. The powerplay was important as the older ball turns and stops. I wanted to play the field, rather than the wicket or the bowler. Whenever fine leg or third-man was up, I just had to use the bowlers pace."
• Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK Captain): "Nitish batted brilliantly, and we weren’t proactive enough in adjusting our field placements. We should have made him play more in front of the wicket instead of allowing him to score behind square. Additionally, we conceded 8-10 runs due to misfields, which cost us. We are working on improving these aspects. A target of 180 was definitely achievable."

In a spectacular moment during Match 11 of the IPL 2025 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on March 30, 2025, RR all-rounder Riyan Parag took a grab that will go down as one of the greatest catches in IPL history, against the CSK. He wowed the fans with his athleticism, as everyone was completely taken aback.

With Wanindu Hasaranga bowling, Dube tried to hit a lofted drive, and the ball was likely to land safely within the extra cover region. Initially, it appeared to be surrendering Parag, who was positioned inside the 30-yard circle. He grabbed the ball inches off the ground. As he was diving full stretch to his right, he grabbed it. This sensational one-handed catch dismissed Dube, who left to the boundary after scoring 18 off 10 balls.

Nitish Rana's explosive 81 off 36 balls led RR to a respectable total of 182/9. During CSK's innings, Shivam Dube already looked dangerous when Parag produced a moment of magic in the 10th over.

The catch shifted the momentum of the game in favour of RR, and subsequently, CSK lost wickets rapidly. They ended up winning the game by 12 runs comfortably. At this point of IPL 2025, Riyan Parag's catch is guaranteed to be one of the best moments of the tournament.

In one of the most exciting matches of IPL 2025, CSK faced off against RR at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. Adding spice to the encounter, veteran Ashwin made a comeback and delivered a remarkable off-side wide that produced an electrifying moment in the stadium.

Ashwin’s Deceptive Delivery Traps Rana

During RR’s innings, Ashwin bluffed an off-side wide, which lured Nitish Rana to try to send it to the roof. The flighted delivery deceived the batsman and turned with a vengeance, leaving Rana stranded.

MS Dhoni’s Lightning Stumping

As always, Dhoni, with his marvelous glove work, got rid of the bails before Rana had the opportunity to recover. The legendary keeper showed once again why he is considered to be one of the best in the game.

This instance turned out to be a watershed moment for CSK, shifting the momentum as RR collapsed and could not recover from the setback. With Ashwin’s brilliance and Dhoni’s insane reflexes, CSK sustained their dominance over the match.

IPL 2025, Match 11: RR vs CSK Dream11 Top Captains And Vice-captains

Top 3 Captain choices

Rachin Ravindra: New Zealand cricketer Rachin Ravindra is in dream form with the bat, as he has started the IPL 2025 with scores of 65 not out and 41 runs. Although he hasn't been used as a bowler in this IPL season yet, he can be effective in a left-arm spin bowling role. 

Sanju Samson: Sanju Samson started the IPL 2025 with his 66 off 37 balls (seven fours and four sixes) against SunRisers Hyderabad, while chasing 287 runs. Although he scored 13 runs in the next game, he is now a better consistent performer with the bat. 

Noor Ahmad: The Afghan left-arm wrist spinner Noor Ahmad has started the IPL 2025 season strongly by picking up seven wickets. After recording a four-fer against Mumbai Indians in their first game of the IPL 2025, where the youngster also won the Player of the Match award, he also took three wickets against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their next game. 

Top 3 Vice-captain choices

Shimron Hetmyer: West Indies cricketer Shimron Hetmyer is a dangerous batter in T20 cricket. He started the IPL 2025 with a cameo of 42 off just 23 balls (one four and four sixes) against SRH, while they were already out in the 287-run target battle, and then Hetmyer scored seven runs in their next game against the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders. 

Khaleel Ahmed: The left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed has impressed in the early stages of the IPL 2025. After providing a good start against Mumbai Indians in their season opener, as Khaleel picked up three wickets in that match, he was disciplined in the next game against RCB with the bowling figures of 4-0-28-1. 

Wanindu Hasaranga: Sri Lankan cricketer Wanindu Hasaranga is an asset for any team, as his spin-bowling inspires his team, and his batting plays a crucial role in the team's innings. Hasaranga appeared in the second game against KKR, where he had the bowling figures of 3-0-34-1 after scoring four runs. 

RR vs CSK Match Preview

We have completed the first round of matches in the Indian Premier League 2025. The Rajasthan Royals will be under intense pressure when they face the Chennai Super Kings in the season's eleventh game. The Royals were humiliated in their most recent match against the Kolkata Knight Riders. The Chennai Super Kings also lost to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their last game and will be looking for a strong comeback. In two games, the Rajasthan Royals' bowlers attack has been inconsistent. They have not troubled the batters, which has lowered their confidence in the camp. This game requires the team to work together. The Chennai Super Kings have an excellent bowling attack and a deep batting lineup. The Royals need to win here to regain confidence, and it will be curious to see if they are up to the challenge.

Topmost Picks for RR vs CSK Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Rajasthan Royals

• Riyan Parag – Riyan Parag hadn't made a great start to the campaign against SRH, but we will back him again because he was the leading run scorer for his team last season with 573 runs.
• Jofra Archer –  Jofra Archer had a disappointing debut for the Rajasthan Royals against SRH, but we are going to back him again because of his talent and expect him to bounce back.

Top Picks – Chennai Super Kings

• Ruturaj Gaikwad – Ruturaj Gaikwad entered this campaign after Chennai's strong performance in domestic events. He scored a brilliant half-century in the opening game.
• Ravichandran Ashwin –  Ravichandran Ashwin did not have a good start to the tournament, struggling against RCB. He was one of the most dependable bowlers for CSK last season.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for RR vs CSK Dream11 Team:

Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal(VC), Ruturaj Gaikwad(C), Rachin Ravindra, Shimron Hetmyer, Wanindu Hasaranga, Riyan Parag, Noor Ahmad, Matheesha Pathirana, Khaleel Ahmed

Sanju Samson(VC), Dhruv Jurel, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rachin Ravindra(C), Wanindu Hasaranga, Riyan Parag, Ravindra Jadeja, Noor Ahmad, Matheesha Pathirana, Tushar Deshpande

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Captain – Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rachin Ravindra

Vice-captain – Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson

Wicketkeeper – Sanju Samson

RR vs CSK Probable Winners:

The Rajasthan Royals are at the bottom of the points table early in the season. The bowling attack has been ineffective both times games, and the team requires a strong performance from them for this must-win match. The Chennai Super Kings possess depth in both batting and bowling, so their attack will thrive on this track. We expect a close match, but the Super Kings have the advantage. Considering the team combination, Chennai Super Kings is expected to win this match.

RR, still searching for their first win, may still be a little more comfortable coming into this game. They made 242 in the first game chasing 286, staying competitive throughout, and also bowled well to try and defend 160 odd against Kolkata. Their line-up does lack depth which is a concern and Shimron Hetmyer too seems to be batting too low to make an impact. Their recent record against Chennai has been incredible though, winning four of the last five and they know that Chennai are struggling.

The Super Kings have a lot of questions. They have points on the board but in all reality, the win against Mumbai was pushed due to their bowling with their batters struggling to chase 150 odd. The batting firepower looks very off with Rahul Tripathi, Deepak Hooda and Sam Curran not living up to the mark yet. Shivam Dube as well seems to be batting a spot lower and could move up to bring out the best of the spin basher in him. MS Dhoni at nine was a huge concern. He looked good and both he and Jadeja definitely looked like players capable to bat higher up. Is there a case of Devon Conway coming in though? He would look more assured along with Ruturaj Gaikwad back at the top but for now the batting line-up does not seem to be working well and the spin attack in Ashwin and Jadeja too are yet to hit their best.

Impact Player: Shivam Dube

Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings Key Players

Shivam Dube

Shivam Dube, CSK's spin basher has a role to play but has not been given the platform or situation yet. He has a case to bat up the order with 3 and 4 working well for him last season. He is the only explosive batter in the line-up after Dhoni, but both seem to be batting too low for the given situation in T20 Cricket.

Yashashvi Jaiswal

Jaiswal is yet to hit his straps. He looked good against the Knight Riders but could not push on for a bigger innings. He has an out of form CSK against him now and will be looking to find some time out in the middle. 

Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings Match Tips

RR are winless but they definitely look a lot more convincing given CSK's struggle with the bat two games in a row.

Match Prediction: Rajasthan Royals Will Win the Match

The 11th match of the IPL 2025 has been scheduled for Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings (RR vs CSK), which Barsapara Cricket Stadium (Guwahati) will host on Sunday evening (March 30). Both teams will play their third game of the season.

Inaugural IPL champions Rajasthan Royals suffered two big defeats in the IPL 2025. After conceding the second-most IPL runs, 286/6 against the hosts SunRisers Hyderabad, Royals fought hard but suffered a 44-run defeat after their highest IPL total. Later, the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders thrashed them by eight wickets with 15 balls remaining.

The five-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings started the new season with a four-wicket win against Mumbai Indians, which was a low-scoring affair. In their second game, CSK suffered their record-margin home defeat by 50 runs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. 

The upcoming RR vs CSK match is very crucial for both teams. Another defeat will be too much for the Royals, who are struggling to set up a good fighting team to challenge others. Surely, they can't afford more early losses of the season. 

On the other hand, CSK fans are still waiting to see the old familiar dominant performances from the team, which are missing at present. Although CSK have recorded one win and one loss in their early period of the IPL 2025, they are far from confident attitudes.

IPL 2025, Match 11: RR vs CSK - Probable Playing 11 changes

For RR, Riyan Parag will continue to lead, while Sanju Samson will play only as the batter. After the poor form of English pacer Jofra Archer, the Royals’ overseas choices will be key. The in-form Afghan pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi can be a strong replacement for Archer. 

The CSK squad can see some important changes, especially in the Indian names. While the middle-order batting is struggling, Vijay Shankar can bring some relief. As the English all-rounder Sam Curran is struggling, the five-time IPL champions can strengthen their batting unit by selecting New Zealander Devon Conway.
