New Delhi: Already eliminated from the tournament Chennai Super Kings suffered another disappointing defeat in their IPL 2025 match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday. Playing at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru CSK fought hard in their chase of 214 runs. Ayush Mhatre (94) and Ravindra Jadeja (77*) combined for a crucial 114-run partnership but RCB quickly regained control restricting CSK to 211/5. Despite the loss Jadeja impressed with the longest six of the season.
In the 17th over of CSKs chase Ravindra Jadeja unleashed a brutal attack on Lungi Ngidi smashing a full-toss delivery into the deep square-leg region for a colossal six. The distance of the six was measured at an impressive 109 meters marking the longest of the season.
With this massive 109-meter six Jadeja surpassed the previous record set by Sunrisers Hyderabad wicketkeeper-batter Heinrich Klaasen who had earlier hit a 107-meter six against Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025.
Chasing a target of 214 CSK managed to score 211/5 in their 20 overs. Ayush Mhatre played a brilliant knock scoring 94 off 48 balls which included five sixes and nine fours. He shared a crucial 114-run partnership with Ravindra Jadeja who remained unbeaten on 77 from 45 balls hitting 8 fours and 2 sixes. Despite their efforts CSK fell short of the target.
For RCB Lungi Ngidi was the standout bowler finishing with impressive figures of 3/30. Earlier RCBs top-order performed brilliantly with half-centuries from Jacob Bethell (55) Virat Kohli (62) and Romario Shepherd who remained unbeaten on 53. Their efforts helped RCB set a challenging total of 213/5.
Today I had my opportunity. I was waiting for a long time finally got out to bat wanted to give the team a good finish said RCB all-rounder Romario Shepherd after their victory.
(On where the power comes from) My base and the way I swing. Timmy was telling me to just hold my shape and swing from there as the ball was holding. The first couple of games we were failing as a batting unit he added.
DK took us and gave us specific work and it paid off today. I wasnt thinking of a score I was thinking ball by ball and trying to hit each ball for four or six. When I walked in Timmy told me to relax and try and I did exactly that. (On if he is a bowler or a batter) I try to keep it 50-50 but today it didnt come off with the ball I continued to struggle with the ball Shepherd concluded.
