RR vs CSK Match Prediction | Predicted Dream11, Cricket Betting Tips & Statistics
CSK VS RR Match Prediction: Defending champions Chennai Super Kings have continued their dominance in the current season of Indian Premier League as well, winning both their opening matches of the tournament so far. Led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Chennai Super Kings outclassed Royal Challengers Bangalore in the opening match, followed by a six-wicket win over Delhi Capitals.
Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, have lost both the matches they have played so far, even as a tougher opponent in the form of Chennai Super Kings is awaiting ahead. It will be tough for Rajasthan Royals to beat three-time champion as Rajasthan Royals will look to register their first win in the tournament.
Here’s look at some of the key players in the match:
Harbhajan Singh
With the match set to be played once again in M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Harbhajan Singh is back amongst the key players. With the pitch helping the spinners, Harbhajan Singh will look to make the most of the match against Rajasthan Royals.
Imran Tahir
M.A. Chidambaram is a spin-friendly track. Among the top 10 wicket-takers here, nine of them here are spinners. Thus, Imran Tahir also plays a huge role in the contest. He will look to inflict damage to the Rajasthan Royals with his variations.
Shreyas Gopal
Rajasthan spinner Shreyas Gopal exhibited a fine bowling performance in the game against Sunrises Hyderabad, taking three wickets in his quota of four overs and with the wicket being spinner-friendly, Shreyas Iyer also has a major role to play if RR fancy their chances against CSK on Sunday.
Suresh Raina
A good player of spin, Suresh Raina is expected to play well at M.A. Chidambaram on Sunday. In the first game against RCB at the same stadium, Raina looked good against the spinners before getting out on 21 in a low-scoring affair.
Ambati Rayudu
Indian cricketer, Ambati Rayudu was the highest scorer in the last match played at Chidambaram in the opening game against RCB. The right-handed batsman missed out in the previous match against Delhi Capitals as he will be eager to be back amongst the runs in the game against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday.
