Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson has won the toss and decided to bowl first against Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2025. “We will bowl first. There was something in the wicket in the previous game. We haven’t been good chasers, but there is no point in hiding. We will give our best and be a bit smarter against CSK,” Sanju Samson said.

CSK skipper MS Dhoni is looking forward to the next season. “We have already started the process. We want to express ourselves in the batting department and go for the shots. We are looking at the next season. Bowlers will have to give their best as well and be consistent. Once we were out of the playoff race, we decided to give chances to new players. Our batting is looking good and we have been batting well in the last few games,” MS Dhoni said.
