Chennai Super Kings: Nitish Rana's quickfire 81 guided Rajasthan Royals to 182/9 against Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2025 clash at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Sunday.

After being put in to bat first, Rajasthan lost opener Yashasvi Jaiswal (4) on the third ball of the first over off pacer Khaleel Ahmed. Nitish came in to bat at No.3 and joined Sanju Samson in the middle. The duo made the most of the powerplay overs and scored boundaries at regular intervals.

Nitish played the role of an aggressor in the partnership and completed his first IPL half-century since 2023 in 21 balls. His blistering knock pushed Rajasthan to 79/1 after six overs.
