IPL 2025: RR vs CSK Match 11 - Who will be Impact Players for today's match?

Match Overview

Rajasthan Royals will take on Chennai Super Kings in the 11th match of Indian Premier League 2025. This match will be played at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. Chennai Super Kings are seventh in the table with one win and one loss in two matches. They suffered a 50-run defeat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their previous match. On the other hand, Rajasthan have lost both their matches, making for a disappointing start to the season. They currently sit at the bottom of the points table.

Predicted Impact Players for Rajasthan Royals

• Shubham Dubey – A left-handed batter who can be used as a slogger in the latter stages of the innings, especially if RR lose early wickets in the first innings.

• Tushar Deshpande – Having performed well for CSK in the previous edition, he could be subbed in during the second innings if conditions favour pacers. He picked up 17 wickets in 13 matches last season.

• Kwena Maphaka – A high-pace bowler who consistently clocks deliveries over 145 kph. He can be a handy substitute in the second innings if RR bat first.

• Sanju Samson – The RR skipper is injured for the initial three matches and will only play as a specialist batter, with Riyan Parag taking over captaincy duties. Last season, he scored 531 runs in 15 matches.

Predicted Impact Players for Chennai Super Kings

• Deepak Hooda – A talented all-rounder who can provide batting cover and be used as an impact substitute if Chennai Super Kings lose early wickets while batting first.

• Noor Ahmad – The rising Afghan spinner could be used as an impact substitute when bowling second, especially if the conditions favour spinners. He has taken 24 wickets in 23 IPL matches.

• Jamie Overton – The English pacer provides an all-round option. He might be used as a substitute if CSK need extra batting depth late in the first innings and can also bowl a few overs in the second innings.

• Kamlesh Nagarkoti – A pacer who can swing the new ball, making him a valuable impact substitute in the second innings if the pitch offers assistance to fast bowlers.
