<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">The <a href="https://www.kreedon.com/ipl-2025-riyan-parags-95-in-vain-as-kkr-beat-rr">Rajasthan Royals</a> (RR) wrapped up their IPL 2025 season on a high note, scoring a satisfying six-wicket victory over the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). With this win, they ended up with eight points, which is a nice boost after a tough season. On the other hand, it was a rough outing for CSK, marking their tenth loss in the tournament and leaving them at the bottom of the table. They have just one more game to try to avoid finishing last.</p>
<p>Interestingly, RR had struggled this season while chasing, winning only once out of nine attempts. However, they decided to give it one last shot and managed to chase down a target of 188 runs with 17 balls to spare, showing a level of control and composure that had been missing in previous matches. RR&#8217;s bowlers, <a href="https://www.kreedon.com/akash-madhwal-biography">Akash Madhwal</a> and <a href="https://www.kreedon.com/vaibhav-suryavanshi-biography">Vaibhav Suryavanshi</a>, played crucial roles in their success, holding CSK to a score below par, and Suryavanshi&#8217;s powerful hitting set a strong foundation for the team.</p>

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">CSK had a brief moment where it looked like they might turn things around. Veteran spinner <a href="https://www.kreedon.com/ravichandran-ashwin-biography">R Ashwin</a> took out RR&#8217;s captain, Sanju Samson, and <a href="https://www.kreedon.com/suryakumar-yadav-biography">Suryakumar Yadav</a> in the 14th over. That reminded everyone of RR&#8217;s past struggles when chasing runs, and suddenly the target was down to 50, which gave CSK a bit of hope. But that hope didn’t last long.</p>
<p>Dhruv Jurel stepped in at a crucial time and changed the game. He scored a quick 31 runs off just 12 balls, starting with a six and a four against Ravindra Jadeja, followed by another boundary of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noor_Ahmad">Noor Ahmed</a>. He sealed it with an explosive 18-run over against Ashwin, which dashed any chances CSK had for an upset victory.</p>
<p>Jurel and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimron_Hetmyer">Shimron Hetmyer</a>, who have both faced pressure in past matches, were at the crease when it came time to secure the win. This time, they kept their cool and finished the game confidently and stylishly.</p>
