Total	127 all out	19.4 overs			6.46 RR

The scorecard shows how difficult it was for CSK to maintain momentum. Four wickets had fallen by the 5.3-over mark, and the side was reduced to 51/5 before the innings had properly settled.

Jamie Overton Provides the Main Resistance

Jamie Overton was the standout CSK batter. He scored 43 runs from 36 balls, including two fours and two sixes. His innings helped Chennai move from a precarious position to 127, although the total still proved far too small.

Overton eventually fell to a run-out in the final over while attempting a second run. His dismissal ended the CSK innings at 127.

Sarfaraz Khan and Kartik Sharma Add Useful Runs

Sarfaraz Khan scored 17 from 12 balls, including two fours and a six. Kartik Sharma contributed 18 from 15 balls with one six.

Both innings offered brief momentum, but neither partnership lasted long enough to put Rajasthan under serious pressure.

Rajasthan Royals Bowling Scorecard

Rajasthan’s bowlers controlled the CSK innings from the beginning. Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger picked up two wickets apiece, while Brijesh Sharma, Sandeep Sharma, Ravi Bishnoi and Ravindra Jadeja also contributed wickets.

Bowler	Overs	Maidens	Runs	Wickets	Economy
Jofra Archer	4	0	19	2	4.75
Nandre Burger	4	0	26	2	6.50
Brijesh Sharma	3	0	17	1	5.67
Sandeep Sharma	2.4	0	22	1	8.25
Ravi Bishnoi	3	0	16	1	5.33
Ravindra Jadeja	3	0	18	2	6.00

Jofra Archer was particularly economical, conceding only 19 runs in his four overs while dismissing Ruturaj Gaikwad and Noor Ahmad. Nandre Burger also made a major impact by removing Sanju Samson and Ayush Mhatre.

Rajasthan Royals Batting Scorecard

Rajasthan Royals made the chase look remarkably easy. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi provided the explosive start, while Yashasvi Jaiswal stayed at the crease until the target was reached.

Batter	Runs	Balls	4s	6s	Strike Rate
Yashasvi Jaiswal	38*	36	3	1	105.56
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi	52	17	4	5	305.88
Dhruv Jurel	18	9	4	0	200.00
Riyan Parag	14*	11	1	1	127.27
Extras	6
Total	128/2	12.1 overs			10.52 RR

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s 52 from 17 balls was the innings’ defining performance. He struck five sixes and four fours and reached his half-century in only 15 balls.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s Explosive Fifty

The most eye-catching performance of the CSK vs Rajasthan Royals scorecard was Sooryavanshi’s extraordinary hitting.

He scored 52 runs from 17 deliveries at a strike rate of 305.88. His innings contained four fours and five sixes. He was eventually dismissed by Anshul Kamboj, but by that point Rajasthan had already gained complete control of the chase.

The young batter’s attack helped Rajasthan reach 74 runs during the powerplay without losing a wicket. The Royals then completed the chase comfortably.

Yashasvi Jaiswal Anchors the Chase

While Sooryavanshi provided the fireworks, Yashasvi Jaiswal played the stabilising role.

Jaiswal finished unbeaten on 38 from 36 balls, with three fours and a six. His partnership with Sooryavanshi gave Rajasthan the perfect start before he continued the chase alongside Riyan Parag.

Riyan Parag Finishes the Job

Riyan Parag remained unbeaten on 14 from 11 balls. He hit a four and a six and helped Jaiswal take Rajasthan across the finish line at 128/2 in 12.1 overs.

Chennai Super Kings Bowling Scorecard

CSK’s bowlers found it difficult to contain Rajasthan’s aggressive approach.

Bowler	Overs	Maidens	Runs	Wickets	Economy

Anshul Kamboj	3	0	27	2	9.00
Noor Ahmad	2	0	24	0	12.00
Jamie Overton	1	0	14	0	14.00
Matthew Short	0.1	0	1	0	6.00

Anshul Kamboj was the only CSK bowler to take multiple wickets. He dismissed both Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Dhruv Jurel. However, by the time those wickets fell, Rajasthan were already well ahead in the chase.

Rajasthan Royals Fall of Wickets

Wicket	Score	Batter	Over

2nd	99	Dhruv Jurel	8.3

Rajasthan lost only two wickets during the chase. The first wicket came after Sooryavanshi had already smashed 52, while Jurel departed after contributing 18 from nine balls.

CSK vs RR Partnerships

Partnerships played very different roles in the two innings.

Rajasthan’s Opening Partnership

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi put together a 50-run partnership from only 30 balls. Sooryavanshi contributed 38 of those runs during the partnership, while Jaiswal added 16.

The partnership immediately shifted the pressure onto Chennai. Rajasthan reached 55 without loss after five overs and eventually scored 74 during the powerplay.

CSK’s Recovery Attempts

Chennai never established a comparable partnership. The wickets kept falling at regular intervals, leaving Jamie Overton to score the majority of the team’s late runs.

The absence of a substantial partnership was one of the biggest reasons CSK finished with only 127.

CSK vs RR Top Performers

Top CSK Batter: Jamie Overton

Jamie Overton was Chennai’s highest scorer with 43 runs from 36 balls. His two fours and two sixes helped CSK cross the 120-run mark.

Top RR Batter: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi produced the most explosive innings of the match, scoring 52 from 17 balls at a strike rate of 305.88.

Top RR Bowler: Nandre Burger

Nandre Burger took 2/26 from four overs and was named Player of the Match. His opening spell helped Rajasthan put Chennai on the back foot immediately.

Best CSK Bowler: Anshul Kamboj

Anshul Kamboj finished with 2/27 from three overs. He was responsible for both Rajasthan wickets during the chase.

CSK vs RR Player of the Match

Nandre Burger was named Player of the Match after taking two wickets for 26 runs in his four-over spell.

Burger’s impact came at a crucial stage. He dismissed Sanju Samson early and then removed Ayush Mhatre shortly afterwards. Those wickets contributed to CSK’s poor start and allowed Rajasthan to maintain control.

Although Sooryavanshi’s batting performance was arguably the most spectacular individual display, Burger’s bowling was officially recognised as the match-winning contribution.

CSK vs RR Match Highlights

Powerplay Highlights

The powerplay completely changed the direction of the match.

CSK lost four wickets during the powerplay and scored only 41 runs during that period. Rajasthan’s disciplined bowling prevented the Chennai batters from establishing momentum.

Rajasthan’s response was almost the opposite. The Royals scored 74 runs without losing a wicket during the powerplay, powered by Sooryavanshi’s aggressive strokeplay and Jaiswal’s controlled batting.

Middle Overs

CSK attempted to rebuild through Sarfaraz Khan, Kartik Sharma and Jamie Overton, but wickets continued to fall.

For Rajasthan, Sooryavanshi reached his fifty from only 15 balls before being dismissed for 52. Dhruv Jurel then smashed 18 from nine deliveries before Anshul Kamboj removed him.

Death Overs

The death overs belonged to Chennai’s lower order rather than Rajasthan’s bowling attack. Overton continued to fight and took CSK to 127, but his late run-out ended the innings.

Rajasthan never needed to enter a tense final-over situation. Jaiswal and Riyan Parag completed the chase in the 13th over.

Turning Point of the Match

The biggest turning point came during the first innings when Chennai lost wickets in clusters.

CSK were 19/2 after 2.6 overs and then lost Ayush Mhatre on the very next delivery. Matthew Short followed at 38, while Sarfaraz Khan and Shivam Dube fell soon afterwards.

At 57/6, Chennai were in serious trouble. Although Overton’s 43 gave the total some respectability, Rajasthan had already gained a decisive advantage.

The second major turning point was Rajasthan’s opening partnership. Sooryavanshi’s rapid scoring ensured that the target never appeared challenging.

CSK gradually became the stronger side in many of the following seasons. Between 2009 and 2019, Chennai built a significant advantage in the overall rivalry. However, Rajasthan’s strong run since 2020 has brought the head-to-head record back to an even level.

CSK vs RR Match Analysis

Chennai Super Kings Performance

CSK’s biggest problem was their batting.

Losing four wickets during the powerplay put them under immediate pressure. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson could not provide the opening platform Chennai needed, while Ayush Mhatre was dismissed for a duck.

The middle order also failed to build a substantial partnership. Sarfaraz Khan and Kartik Sharma contributed useful runs, but Jamie Overton was ultimately left with too much responsibility.

The bowling attack had an equally difficult task because 127 was never a comfortable total. Anshul Kamboj did pick up two wickets, but the rest of the attack struggled to prevent Rajasthan’s rapid scoring.

Rajasthan Royals Performance

Rajasthan’s performance was much more complete.

The bowling unit attacked CSK’s top order and kept wickets falling throughout the innings. Jofra Archer’s 2/19 was particularly economical, while Nandre Burger’s two early wickets helped establish control.

The batting response was even more impressive. Jaiswal provided stability while Sooryavanshi attacked almost every scoring opportunity.

Rajasthan’s 74/0 powerplay set up a straightforward chase. Even after Sooryavanshi and Jurel were dismissed, Jaiswal and Parag had enough control to finish the match without any significant pressure.

Fantasy Cricket Performance

For fantasy cricket analysis, the biggest performers from this match were:

Player	Team	Performance
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi	RR	52 off 17
Nandre Burger	RR	2/26
Jamie Overton	CSK	43 off 36
Anshul Kamboj	CSK	2/27
Yashasvi Jaiswal	RR	38* off 36
Dhruv Jurel	RR	18 off 9

Sooryavanshi’s explosive fifty and Burger’s two wickets made them particularly notable fantasy performers. However, fantasy-point totals can vary by platform and scoring system, so official platform-specific points should be checked before presenting them as exact figures.

Why CSK Lost the Match

There were three major reasons behind Chennai’s defeat.

• Early wickets: CSK lost four wickets during the powerplay and never recovered fully.
• Low total: A final score of 127 left Rajasthan with a relatively small target.
• Explosive RR powerplay: Rajasthan scored 74 without losing a wicket in the first six overs, effectively ending the contest as a close chase.

Why Rajasthan Royals Won

Rajasthan executed almost every important aspect of the match correctly.

Their bowlers attacked the CSK top order, their fielders supported the bowling effort, and their batters attacked the modest target.

The opening partnership between Jaiswal and Sooryavanshi was particularly important. Sooryavanshi’s 52 from 17 balls completely changed the tempo of the chase, while Jaiswal ensured there was no collapse after the youngster’s dismissal.

Conclusion

The latest Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals match scorecard tells the story of a one-sided contest. Chennai Super Kings struggled with the bat and were bowled out for 127 in 19.4 overs. Jamie Overton’s 43 was the only major resistance, but the total was never likely to be enough.

Rajasthan Royals responded with an aggressive chase. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi smashed 52 from 17 balls, Yashasvi Jaiswal remained unbeaten on 38, and Riyan Parag finished the chase unbeaten on 14. RR reached 128/2 in just 12.1 overs and secured an eight-wicket victory.

Nandre Burger’s 2/26 earned him the Player of the Match award, while Jofra Archer also impressed with an economical 2/19. For CSK, Anshul Kamboj was the pick of the bowlers with 2/27.

The result also made the long-running CSK vs RR rivalry even more intriguing. After 32 IPL meetings, both teams now have 16 victories each, making this one of the most evenly balanced rivalries in the league.

For readers looking for the CSK vs Rajasthan Royals scorecard, this match provides plenty of notable numbers: 127/10 for Chennai, 128/2 for Rajasthan, a 52-run blitz from Sooryavanshi, 43 from Overton and two wickets each for several bowlers. It was ultimately Rajasthan’s superior bowling and explosive powerplay batting that decided the contest.
