Ravindra Jadeja and Shivam Dube's partnership kept CSK interested until halfway through the 19th over, after which it became mathematically impossible for them to win. Dube's dismissal on the last ball of the match ended CSK's innings on 170/6.4. Jaiswal's Half Century and Powerplay Domination
Jaiswal's 26-ball half century set the tone for the Royals' dominant batting display. They scored 64 runs in the first six overs, with Jos Buttler playing second fiddle to Jaiswal.

Devdutt Padikkal and Dhruv Jurel's Finishing Effort
Padikkal and Jurel's partnership in the latter half of RR's innings was crucial in helping them reach 202/5. Their 48-run partnership off 20 balls ensured that RR finished strongly and posted a formidable target for CSK.
