Rajasthan Royals defeated Chennai Super Kings in match 11 of IPL 2025 on Sunday (March 30)- here is the updated points table after today's IPL match.
After being opted to field first at their adopted home ground in Guwahati, RR lost opener Yashasvi Jaiswal for four off just the third ball of the innings. It was Nitish Rana who brought the hosts back into the game with a 36-ball 81, studded with 10 fours and five sixes. When Rana was dismissed, RR were at 124-3 in 11.3 overs. CSK from there on did well to pull things back, restricting them to 182-9.
Defending the total, Wanindu Hasaranga rose to the occasion with his wrist-spin, dismissing Rahul Tripathi (23 off 19 balls), Shivam Dube (18 off 10), Vijay Shankar (9 off 6) and CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad (63 off 44). On three occasions, Hasaranga got a wicket immediately after being hit for a six.
An appearance for CSK after 3,974 days.

With 39 required off 12 balls, CSK reignited their chase by smashing 19 in the penultimate over. Despite Jofra Archer’s economical spell (1-13 in 3 overs), RR entrusted Sandeep Sharma with the decisive final over. He delivered immediately, dismissing MS Dhoni (16 off 11) on the first ball and restricting CSK to 176-6, leaving them six runs short. Ravindra Jadeja’s unbeaten 32 off 22 balls kept their hopes alive briefly, but the chase proved too steep in the end.
The victory marked RR’s first win in three matches this season, lifting them from last place to ninth in the IPL 2025 standings. Apart from RR, CSK and SRH have also won one of their three games, but CSK’s superior net run-rate (-0.771) pushed them from eighth place to seventh, ahead of SRH (-0.871).
