CSK’s chase was anchored by captain Ruturaj Gaikwad’s 63 off 44, but the rest of the lineup struggled to keep pace. Shivam Dube (18), Jadeja (32*), and MS Dhoni (16) tried to revive the innings, but Sandeep Sharma’s final over brilliance sealed the win for RR.
Hasaranga was the star with the ball, claiming key wickets including Gaikwad and Dube, while Jofra Archer’s opening spell (1 maiden, 1 wicket) set the tone early.
