The Chennai Super Kings find themselves in a must-win situation. Two wins take them through, while a loss sees them relying on others. They have hardly gotten going this season with the inconsistent batting lineup, the nonexistent bowling attack, and the fact that they were hit by injuries. A day game may help them slightly, with dew less likely to play a part.
Rajasthan, though, will enjoy the prospect of a day game more. Their spinners are pretty skilled and Ravichandran Ashwin loves playing at his home ground, the Chepauk. The focus, though, is likely to be on MS Dhoni once again, with the upcoming fixture likely to be his last at Chepauk. Qualification looks dim with the current line-up and failing to qualify will ensure that this game turns out to be his last at Chennai potentially.

CSK vs RR Key Players
Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja‘s bowling is a huge factor in determining CSK’s success. He will have less dew to worry about in Chennai, but the lack of bite from the new-ballers makes it tough for Jadeja, who has settled batters and is ready to size him up. He will have to find a way to make use of all his experience, though, to find a way to save CSK again, as he has done on so many occasions in the last decade.
Ravichandran Ashwin
Ravichandran Ashwin loves playing at Chennai. He is the home town hero and will probably garner a cheer close to what Dhoni himself does. He was man of the match here last time with contributions from both ends and could be key here during a day game.

CSK vs GT Match Tips
Rajasthan, despite two losses are favorites. They have a good record recently against the Super Kings, won in Chepauk last time and are against an inconsistent batting line-up and depleted bowling line-up. They walk in as favorites in what could be MS Dhoni’s last time in Chepauk.
