Chennai Super Kings: Ahead of Rajasthan Royals (RR) playing their final IPL 2025 game against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), all-rounder Riyan Parag said if the side had got four-five close matches in their favour, their situation would have been very different.

RR went into IPL 2025 with a majorly Indian batting line-up and light on bowling, but they never found the top gear and were ruled out early from the race to playoffs. RR are currently at ninth place, with six points from 13 games and need to beat CSK to save themselves from finishing at the bottom of the points table.

“It has been a ride. There were almost four to five games, close games, if those had gone in our favour we would have been in a different situation. But that's how T20 cricket is. That's how IPL is. We have made errors and we are paying the price,” said Parag in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters.
