Rajasthan Royals Clinch Thrilling Victory Over Chennai Super Kings with 17 Balls to Spare

In a high-octane clash, Rajasthan Royals chased down a formidable target of 188 set by Chennai Super Kings, sealing the win at 188/4 in just 17.1 overs. Vaibhav Suryavanshi was the star of the show, smashing 57 off 33 balls with 4 boundaries and 4 sixes, maintaining a scorching strike rate of 172.73.

 

Opening with Yashasvi Jaiswal’s explosive 36 off 19 balls and supported by Sanju Samson’s solid 41 from 31 deliveries, Rajasthan got off to a flying start. Despite quick wickets in the middle — with Riyan Parag falling cheaply — Dhruv Jurel (31* off 12) and Shimron Hetmyer (12* off 5) finished the match in style.

 

Chennai’s bowlers struggled throughout, with only Anshul Kamboj (1/21) offering resistance with a decent economy of 7.00. Others, including Noor Ahmad (14.00 ER) and Ravindra Jadeja (13.50 ER), proved expensive.

 

This win marks a dominant batting display by Rajasthan Royals, overshadowing CSK’s 187/8 and showcasing their deep batting lineup and aggressive approach.
