After winning the toss, RR skipper Sanju Samson opted to bowl first—and the decision paid off immediately. The Royals’ bowlers came out firing, reducing CSK to 78 for 5 within 7.4 overs. Chennai’s top-order batters faltered under pressure, barring young Ayush Mhatre, who once again stood out with a brisk 43 off just 20 balls.

Dewald Brevis and Shivam Dube then stepped up to revive the innings. Brevis smashed 42 runs from 25 balls, while Dube anchored the middle overs with a patient 39 off 32 deliveries. Their partnership helped CSK recover from their early collapse to post 187 for 8 in 20 overs. 

For Rajasthan, both Akash Madhwal and Yudhvir Singh were exceptional, claiming three wickets apiece. Tushar Deshpande and Wanindu Hasaranga chipped in with one wicket each.
