CSK vs RR Match Preview

Chennai Super Kings will face Rajasthan Royals in Match 61 of the 2024 Indian Premier League on Sunday afternoon. CSK was defeated by the Gujarat Titans on Friday and has 12 points, while the Rajasthan Royals have eight victories and 16 points. Although CSK have been inconsistent this season and were beaten again on Friday evening, they are a different side at home in front of their own fans. This will certainly be a tough contest against Rajasthan Royals but, with their knowledge of home conditions, they will have an excellent chance to win. Rajasthan Royals have suddenly hit a run of poor form. But they have more than enough talent across their squad to still finish the group stage strongly.

Topmost Picks for CSK vs RR Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Chennai Super Kings

• Ruturaj Gaikwad – Gaikwad has finally picked momentum after a slow start to IPL 2024. He played a magnificent innings of 69 against MI. This was his second fifty of the tournament and he now has 224 runs to his name.
• Tushar Deshpande- the 28 year old right-arm medium fast bowler is CSK’s leading wicket taker across the tournament and dismissed both of Gujarat’s openers in the last game. 

Top Picks – Rajasthan Royals

• Sanju Samson- with over 471 runs in the 2024 IPL, the keeper-batter-skipper is in the top five run scorers and fully deserves his place in India’s T20 World Cup squad.
• Yuzvendra Chahal- the spinner got the big wicket of Rishabh Pant in the last match. That dismissal saw him bring up 350 T20 wickets across his career.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for CSK vs RR Dream11 Team:

Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal(VC), Ruturaj Gaikwad(C), Mitchell Santner, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Riyan Parag, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravichandran Ashwin, Tushar Deshpande

Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for CSK vs RR Dream11 Team:

Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson(C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Daryl Mitchell, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja(VC), Riyan Parag, Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult, Tushar Deshpande

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Wicketkeeper – Sanju Samson

CSK vs RR Probable Winners:

With so many top players on the field, there is always a lot of interest when these two teams face off. This game should be no exception, with the top four league positions also on the line. Our prediction is for a low-scoring game, with both teams having a chance to win well into the second half. However, we believe CSK will win again at home in Chepauk. Considering the team combination, Chennai Super Kings is expected to win this match.
