The Rajasthan Royals took a crucial wicket in the 10th over of the ongoing RR vs CSK match as Riyan Parag pulled off a sensational blinder to dismiss Shivam Dube for 18 off 10 balls. Wanindu Hasaranga delivered a full ball outside off, and Dube struck it cleanly toward cover. However, Parag reacted quickly, diving to his right and extending his right hand to complete a stunning catch.
The third umpire reviewed the catch to confirm its validity. Multiple angles showed Parag had his fingers under the ball before it touched the ground. The decision stood, and Dube had to walk back. This breakthrough had left Chennai Super Kings at 72/3, shifting momentum in Rajasthan’s favor.

Rajasthan Post 182/9 After Rana’s Quick Fifty
Earlier, Chennai Super Kings opted to bowl first in Guwahati, and Rajasthan Royals faced early trouble. Yashasvi Jaiswal departed for a duck on the third ball, falling to Khaleel Ahmed. Sanju Samson followed soon after, adding to the pressure.
Nitish Rana led the fightback, smashing a 21-ball half-century to turn the tide. However, Rajasthan lost momentum as Noor Ahmed and Ravindra Jadeja tightened their grip with economical spells. Dhruv Jurel and Rana fell in quick succession, slowing the scoring rate.
Despite the early flourish, the Royals managed 182/9 in 20 overs. Noor Ahmed and Matheesha Pathirana impressed with the ball, both finishing with 2/28.
