Nitish rana
Rajasthan Royals finally opened their account in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025), where Nitish Rana’s explosive batting and Vanindu Hasranga’s deadly bowling played a key role in the team’s victory. In this exciting match played on Sunday (March 30), Rajasthan defeated Chennai Super Kings by just 6 runs.
Nitish Rana, who landed at number three for Rajasthan, scored 81 runs off 36 balls in a rampage, in which he hit 10 fours and five skyscraper sixes. Thanks to his banging batting, Rajasthan’s team managed to reach 182 runs losing nine wickets in 20 overs.
RR gets first win
This challenge was not easy for Chennai Super Kings to chase the target. Interestingly, since 2019, Chennai has not been successful in achieving the target of more than 180 runs once, and this time the same happened. Chennai’s team could score 176 runs for 6 wickets in 20 overs and once again stayed away from the target.
Rajasthan Royals batsman Nitish Rana played an important role in his team’s victory by scoring 81 runs in just 36 balls against Chennai Super Kings. After his explosive innings, Rana said that his goal was to benefit the maximum of the powerplay, because it was very important to use the new ball properly.
Nitish Rana opened secret
In the conversation after the match, he told that his effort in the powerplay was to score maximum runs. For this reason, he adopted a strategy to take full advantage of the powerplay. On the decision to bat at number three, he said that it was a complete decision of coach and management. However, he clarified that he is ready to bat on any order. This was a strategic decision because he was trying to get more attacks at number four and Ryan was doing the same on the third number.
He said that he wanted to stay for a long time and the good thing is to do so today. Asked if he will now bat at number three, he said that you will have to ask this Rahul sir (head coach Rahul Dravid).
