CSK vs RR Review Match 62 | Playoffs Venues Confirmed | RCB vs SRH Shifted!
In Match 62 of the 2025 season, Rajasthan Royals (RR) delivered a commanding performance against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Delhi. With this win, RR ended their league stage on a high note, solving a major season-long issue — finishing games while chasing. Their efficient run chase finally broke the pattern of collapses that haunted them in previous matches. Meanwhile, CSK continued their poor form, slipping further in the points table with another disappointing batting and bowling effort. Alongside the match results, the governing council officially confirmed the playoff venues, and in a surprise development, the RCB vs SRH match has been shifted to a new location.
Rajasthan Royals Break the Jinx with Clinical Chase
RR won the toss and opted to field — a bold decision considering their past. The pressure was immense. Had they lost this match while chasing, they would’ve become the first team in IPL history to lose nine chases in a single season. Despite this looming threat, they showed remarkable composure. Early on, they took full advantage of CSK’s struggles, especially in the death overs.
CSK's innings started with promise but quickly unraveled. Ayush led the charge with a fiery 43 off just 20 balls, contributing significantly to their powerplay score. However, once he was dismissed, the momentum dipped. Devon Conway and others failed to capitalize, and quick wickets fell in clusters. De-Wald Brevis attempted to anchor the innings with a solid 42, but once MS Dhoni arrived, CSK’s run rate dropped drastically. In fact, the last four overs saw them scoring at a run-a-ball pace — a tactical misstep that cost them a 200+ total. Eventually, they managed only 187, a below-par score on this surface.
On the other hand, RR approached the chase with clarity. Learning from their mistakes, they batted with intent from the start. Their calculated aggression ensured that pressure never built up, and they chased down the target well within time, avoiding any last-over drama.
