Series: Indian Premier League 2025

14.1
Jadeja to Hasaranga, out Caught by Shankar at deep mid-wicket!! In the airrrrr, Vijay Shankar has taken a stunner diving forward. The other day against RCB they were awful, today they've take two very good catches. But they will check if this is a clean catch. The third ump wants a look from the front. Satisfied says the third ump. Outstanding from VS but it's yet another disappointment with the bat from Hasaranga. This was full and in the slot, Hasaranga went for a big slog-sweep, hit it flat and low. Was a very difficult catch but VS was athletic enough to dive and get his fingers under it in time. Ensured he controlled that nicely despite having to roll at speed. In fact he rolled thrice.

Hasaranga c Shankar b Jadeja 4(5)

14.6
Jadeja to Hetmyer, 1 run, shortish and turning back in, Hetmyer punches it towards mid-off

RR 145/5 (15.1) CRR: 9.56

Shimron Hetmyer 3(3)
Riyan Parag 25(20

15.2
Pathirana to Hetmyer, 2 runs, this is high, Overton under it and he drops it. Just as you thought CSK were having a good day in the field, Overton spills trying to reverse cup that skier with his big mitts. He is absolutely gutted about this though. Was a full delivery, Hety went for the loft and toe-ended it so high. Overton ran in from long-on and had it covered but didn't close his hands in time. A dropped catch proved to the game-changer in their last game for CSK. How much is Hety going to hurt them now?

16.2
Noor Ahmad to Riyan Parag, SIX, the slog sweep over wide long-on now. Full and in the slot, Riyan knees down and muscles it high and handsome over wide long-on.
16.1
Noor Ahmad to Riyan Parag, FOUR, this is bold from the captain, but smart as well. He knew Noor was only looking to spin it away and there is no fielder in the deep behind point so it's a free-hit. NIcely shaped up for the reverse hit and hit it clear over short third man

15.6
Pathirana to Hetmyer, FOUR, oh inside edge escapes for four! Short of a length delivery on the leg stump, Hety looks to nudge, gets a thick edge that goes past the leg stump and leaves no chance for short fine leg

18.1
Khaleel Ahmed to Hetmyer, SIX, he is the dangerman now! Khaleel Ahmed missed the yorker, Hety got under it and powered it so high over deep square leg. Clears the ropes easily

out Caught by Ashwin!! In the airrr, Ashwin is back-pedalling from cover. This is a toughie but he's held on to it and controlled the catch despite landing Hetmyer c Ashwin b Pathirana 19(16) [4s-1 6s-1]

19.1
Pathirana to Hetmyer, out Caught by Ashwin!! In the airrr, Ashwin is back-pedalling from cover. This is a toughie but he's held on to it and controlled the catch despite landing badly on the back. Massive blow and this could be a difference of 10 runs to the total. Wide yorker again, Hety looks to loft, toe-ends and holes out.

Hetmyer c Ashwin b Pathirana 19(16) [4s-1 6s-1]

RR 182/9 (20) CRR: 9.1

Ravindra and Tripathi are at the crease.
Ravindra is on strike.
Jofra Archer will open the attack

0.3
Jofra Archer to Ravindra, no run, beaten again! Rachin wants to cut this short of length delivery moving away, escapes the edge again. So far very good from Jofra

Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings, 11th Match
0.4
Jofra Archer to Ravindra, out Caught by Dhruv Jurel!! This was on the cards. He was never connecting those away-going balls. Jofra was only trying to move everything away from Rachin and offered nothing full. Rachin kept staying leg-side and trying to cut/guide with the swing. Missed twice but Jofra's got him on the third attempt

Ravindra c Dhruv Jurel b Jofra Archer 0(4)

That was the first maiden of IPL 2025

Bowling like a boss here

4.4
Jofra Archer to Tripathi, FOUR, now shortish at pace, Tripathi gets inside the line and helps it away fine for four more along the ground
4.3
Jofra Archer to Tripathi, SIX, pace off on this short ball and Tripathi was ready for it, again moving inside the line. It's a tricky thing to bowl full pace beacuse the edge will just fly miles over the rope. So Jofra thought of taking pace off for the top edge but Tripathi managed to get enough bat on it to easily clear fine leg

7.1
Hasaranga to Tripathi, out Caught by Hetmyer!! A bit of Wanindu magic lifts up Guwahati!! The Sri Lankan leggie does his trademark celebration, and follows that up with the Pushpa signature move there... A short delivery, a bit of a long hop at a gentle pace. Bounced a bit extra and got up on Tripathi as he rocked back to pull. Ends up holing out to deep mid-wicket where Hetmyer dives forward to complete a neat take

Tripathi c Hetmyer b Hasaranga 23(19) [4s-3 6s-1]

CSK 46/2 (7.1) CRR: 6.42 REQ: 10.68

9.3
Hasaranga to Shivam Dube, out Caught by Riyan Parag!! You beauty! A catch and a half from Riyan Parag, who extends his hands and soaks in the applause as he runs around, waiting for the closest teammates to catch up to him. The home boy has produced a moment of magic that will cherished by the whole of Assam for months of end! A full delivery that was fired through outside off, Dube drills his drive to the right of extra cover. Parag throws himself to the side of the ball and gets fingertips under this ball that was travelling at the speed of knots.

Shivam Dube c Riyan Parag b Hasaranga 18(10) [4s-1 6s-2]

9.2
Hasaranga to Shivam Dube, SIX, smoked away!! Asking for trouble when you are flighting it up to the designated spin basher of CSK!! Dube lunges to the pitch of this delivery and slams it over long-on for a maximum
9.1
Hasaranga to Shivam Dube, FOUR, a short of length delivery that slides onto middle and leg. Dube clears the front leg and heaves it away. Not off the middle but in the gap to the right of deep backward square leg

In reply to Narper

Fat bhai. took ah nice diving catch

A short delivery, a bit of a long hop at a gentle pace. Skids through a bit and got onto Tripathi as he rocked back to pull. Ends up holing out to deep mid-wicket where Hetmyer dives forward to complete a neat take. Tripathi c Hetmyer b Hasaranga 23(19) [4s-3 6s-1]

10.1
Kartikeya to Gaikwad, FOUR, top shot from Ruturaj!! Pierces the gap with precision. A flat delivery that is fizzed onto middle and leg, slapped across the line through cow corner for a boundary

10.6
Kartikeya to Gaikwad, FOUR, short and spinning away, anticipated by Gaikwad who flat bats it across the line to the right of deep mid-wicket for a boundary

11.5
Hasaranga to Shankar, out Bowled!! Now that's how a world class spinner responds!!

Shankar b Hasaranga 9(6) [6s-1]

Theekshana to Gaikwad, FOUR, fuller and slides onto middle stump, Gaikwad plants his front leg in front of off and sweeps this away expertly behind square for a boundary

In reply to Narper

50 for Ruturaj, no real celebration from the skipper as the crowd claps on his achievement.
