Guwahati, March 30 -- Rajasthan Royals (RR) opened their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 campaign with a thrilling 6-run victory over Chennai Super Kings in Guwahati, securing their first win of the season under stand-in captain Riyan Parag. Despite putting up 182/9 on the board, Parag felt his team fell short with the bat but made up for it with an excellent bowling and fielding display.

"Took a lot of time, just two games, but felt really long. We still think we were 20 short. We lost a couple of wickets quickly (in the middle overs). But we bowled really well. We have had two tough games, but the chat was to forget those games, come with a fresh mindset, and have a good game collectively," Parag said, as quoted from ESPNcricinfo.
