The Indian Premier League 2024 is almost in its final stage, and the first exciting game of the penultimate weekend is set to take place at the Chepauk Stadium. The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in a key game.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) were dealt a massive blow when they lost to Gujarat Titans away from home. Ruturaj Gaikwad saw the Titans score a massive 231 on the board after he had decided to field first after winning the toss. One more loss will have severe repercussions for the defending champions, who have been inconsistent in the last few games.

Rajasthan Royals (RR), who had been in great form at the start of the season, have seen their form take a dive. Two losses in two games have seen Sanju Samson and his team lose their grip on the top of the table. While the Royals aren’t going to lose out on a place in the playoffs, there is a very good chance they could lose their spot in the top two if they happen to lose their third game in a row.

Pitch Report

Typically, Chennai has aided the teams batting second, as there is enough dew in the ground to make holding the ball difficult for the pacer. Since this is a day game with a bit of cloud cover set to be present, the captain who wins the toss will want to bowl first. The ball will come onto the bat nicely in the first few overs, but scoring runs will be difficult once the hardness goes off. Expect the pacers to take the pace off the ball in the latter half of the innings.

Player Picks

C

Ruturaj Gaikwad CSK | BAT

if we leave aside his failure in the last game versus the Titans, CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad has had a solid season with the bat. One can expect the CSK skipper to come good and deliver the goods with the bat when his team needs it the most.

8.5
C

Sanju Samson RR | WK

Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson has been in tremendous form with the bat and also behind the stumps. His captaincy has been top notch this season. The 29-year-old nearly pulled off a win in a high scoring game versus Delhi Capitals in the last match.

7.5
C

Yashasvi Jaiswal RR | BAT

The young batting sensation has been tremendous in the last few games for his side. His century against Mumbai Indians showed why he is considered as one of the most dangerous batters in this format. After his failure in the last game, Jaiswal will be looking to bounce back to form with the bat against Chennai in one of the most crucial games.

6.5

Tushar Deshpande CSK | BOWL

With eight wickets from three games, Tushar Deshpande has found his best form with the ball. The loss of Deepak Chahar, Matheesha Pathirana, and Mustfizur Rahman has given the chance for the 28-year-old to lead the bowling attack and he has done it well so far.

9

Riyan Parag RR | BAT

Young Riyan Parag has been a key player for Rajasthan Royals as the 22-year-old from Assan has been putting up some good scores with the bat. Riyan Parag helped his side nearly pull off a win against SRH with 77 before he was dismissed. If he can come up with one more good performance against CSK it will do his career a world of good.

9

Ravichandran Ashwin RR | ALL

With 3 wickets in the last game versus Delhi Capitals, Ravichandran Ashwin came back to his best with the ball. The veteran spinner will be itching to head back to Chepauk where he has played cricket all his life and help his team win the game.

8

MS Dhoni CSK | WK

The former CSK and India legend is on his last leg of a glorious cricketing career. MS Dhoni has been at his brutal best in the final few overs of the innings with his big hitting and will want to give the CSK faithful one final show.

9

Trent Boult RR | BOWL

Five wickets from five matches aren't the kind of returns one expects out of Trent Boult. The Kiwi pacer though has all the class in the world and is one of the most feared new ball bowlers in the league.

9

Ravindra Jadeja CSK | ALL

Chennai Super Kings star Ravindra Jadeja has had a quiet IPL 2024 by his lofty standards. The 35-year-old will want to come good with the bat and ball and help his team reach the playoffs.

7.5

Ajinkya Rahane

CSK | BAT

Chennai Super Kings veteran opener Ajinkya Rahane has scored just 49 runs from his last 5 innings and is in need of huge runs on the board. With a mega auction expected next year, the 35-year-old knows he is playing for a place in the side.

8.5

Yuzvendra Chahal

RR | BOWL

The bowling form of Yuzvendra Chahal has taken a severe nosedive in the last few games. 2 wickets for a total of 253 runs will not excude much confidence as the veteran spinner is set to play the T20 World Cup post the IPL 2024 season.
