Batting first, RR amassed a respectable total of 175/8 thanks to Jos Buttler’s 52 off 36, R Ashwin’s 30, and Shimron Hetmyer’s 30, respectively.

Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals will be entering the match off of a narrow seven-run loss to RCB in their last encounter. They presently hold the third spot on the points table with four victories out of seven games, which is due to their higher NRR than other teams. As most players chipped in with significant contributions in various circumstances, RR has also been working well as a team.
Chennai Super Kings
After a convincing victory over KKR in their previous game, Chennai Super Kings will enter this match with confidence. Despite MS Dhoni’s late heroics, CSK lost the previous match against RR by a razor-thin 3-run margin this season.
They are currently at the top of the points table with five victories in seven games. At various times, the entire circuit has stepped up for CSK. Each and every bowler and hitter has contributed a wicket and shown skill with the bat. CSK would like to keep up its winning streak.
