💥 Royals Break Chasing Curse in Final IPL 2025 Clash

Rajasthan Royals, notorious this season for struggling with chases, flipped the script in their final game—dominating both with the ball and bat. Against a struggling CSK side, the Royals executed a clinical performance to end their campaign with pride, even if not playoffs.

🎯 Key Highlights:

  • Akash Madhwal’s late spell flipped the game with fierce reverse swing.

  • Vaibhav Suryavanshi anchored the chase with flair and maturity.

  • Yudhvir Singh ripped through CSK’s top-order in a chaotic powerplay.

  • Dhruv Jurel’s blistering finish sealed the win in style.


🏏 First Innings: CSK Stumble, Then Recover, Then Stumble Again

Chennai Super Kings’ innings was a rollercoaster. They lost 5 wickets for 57 runs inside 8 overs, all to length deliveries that neither swung nor spun—just disciplined bowling and poor shot selection.

🔥 Standout Contributions:

  • Ayush Mhatre (43 off 20) and Dewald Brevis (42 off 25) gave CSK a middle-over boost.

  • Yudhvir Singh (3/47) and Madhwal (3/29) ensured no late fireworks.

  • CSK managed just 17 runs in the last three overs, thanks to pinpoint yorkers and clever pace variations.


🔁 The Reverse Swing That Turned the Tables

In a twist of fate, RR finally used the very weapon that had hurt them in past close losses—reverse swing. Madhwal, introduced late into the attack, immediately found life off the surface and started cranking in deadly tailing deliveries. His spell completely choked CSK’s finishing hopes, dismissing the dangerous Brevis and stopping the momentum cold.


🚀 Second Innings: Jaiswal Blasts Off, Suryavanshi Steers Steady

Yashasvi Jaiswal got the chase off to a flyer, smashing the first ball for a boundary for a record 13th time in IPL history. His 36 off 19 ensured RR got ahead of the rate early, allowing the middle order to play smart.

🧠 Suryavanshi Shows Class

Vaibhav Suryavanshi then stole the show with a composed yet explosive 57 off 33. He danced down the pitch to smash spinners, drove fast bowlers with grace, and rotated strike intelligently. It was an innings of both power and poise—signaling a future star.

  • He took 18 off Noor Ahmad’s over and punished Jadeja with elegant lofted strokes.

  • Samson (41) supported well before falling to Ashwin.


⚡ Jurel’s Late Surge Crushes CSK Comeback Hopes

Just when Ashwin struck twice in the 14th over—dismissing both Samson and Suryavanshi—CSK sniffed a turnaround. But Dhruv Jurel had other plans. He came in with nerves of steel and flair to match, scoring 31 off just 12 balls, including monster hits off Jadeja and Ashwin.

CSK’s hopes evaporated as RR cruised home with 17 balls to spare.


🔚 End of an Era? What This Loss Means for CSK

This defeat means CSK now face the unthinkable: finishing at the bottom of the IPL table—a first in their storied history. While younger talents like Mhatre and Brevis have impressed, their veterans have struggled, and leadership decisions now loom large. Will Dhoni continue? Will CSK rebuild?
