CSK vs RR 2024, IPL Match Today: Playing XI prediction, head-to-head stats, key players, pitch report and weather update
Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royal IPL Match Today: Ruturaj Gaikwad-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will lock horns against Sanju Samson’s Rajasthan Royals (RR) in a must-win game in Match No 61 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Sunday.
The Super Kings are currently fourth in the standings with 12 points from as many games but the defeat against Gujarat Titans on Friday has added dollops of pressure on them, and now they need victory in their remaining two matches.
The Royals, on the other hand, are second with 16 points but they are smarting from two successive defeats against Sunrisers Hyderabad, which was by just a run, and Delhi Capitals.
Playing XI predictions for the CSK vs RR IPL match today
CSK predicted XI vs RR: Rachin Ravindra, Ajinkya Rahane, Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Daryl Mitchell, Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (wk), Mitchell Santner, Shardul Thakur, Tushar Deshpande
Impact Sub – Simarjeet Singh
Player to watch out for CSK: Shivam Dube, who has been CSK’s bulwark this season, has gone silent ever since he was selected to the Indian team for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Having scored a 13-ball 21 against GT, he has twin causes to fire — to justify his selection for the World Cup and carry his team closer to the playoffs.
RR predicted XI vs CSK: Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Riyan Parag, Shubham Dubey, Donovan Ferreira, Keshav Maharaj, R Ashwin, Avesh Khan, Trent Boult, Sandeep Sharma
Impact Sub: Yuzvendra Chahal
Player to watch out for RR: Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has not been at his best this season, will be desperate to prove his mettle before travelling to the Americas for the T20 World Cup.
