Match Preview Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals
CSK will play against RR in the 62nd game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Both teams are already eliminated from the IPL 2025 Playoffs race, and with two more matches left for both teams, all they have is to play for pride.
Chennai Super Kings has a forgettable tournament for them so far. The team backed experience as always, but this time the experience backfired as almost all their new batters were out of form, and the ones who played weren’t able to adapt to the newer demands of T20 cricket and that’s having an intent to score. However, as a silver lining, CSK’s bowlers did pretty well with the likes of Khaleel and Noor among wickets.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals just couldn’t find a good support from their bowlers. Their batting was good, but luck wasn’t by their side as they lost a few close encounters. But bowling was disappointing as not a single bowler stood out with his performance. Jofra Archer and Sandeep Sharma were good, but only in parts. Whereas others like Tushar Dehspande, Maheesh Theekshana, and Wanindu Hasaranga have been disappointing.

As the match progresses, the surface tends to slow down, assisting spinners and making it challenging for batters to maintain momentum.

Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals Prediction
