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.

Pitch Report

The surface at Arun Jaitley Stadium typically is batting-friendly, especially during the early overs when the ball comes onto the bat nicely, favoring aggressive stroke play. As the match progresses, the surface tends to slow down, assisting spinners and making it challenging for batters to maintain momentum.

Weather Report

The weather forecast is expected to be warm and sunny. There are no chances of rain during the game. The temperature is likely to be around 41°C  with 43% humidity.

Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals Prediction

Chennai Super Kings, with their experienced lineup and tactical acumen, are likely to have a slight edge over Rajasthan Royals, who have shown inconsistency this season. However, RR’s potential to turn the game around, especially if their key players find form, could make this match unpredictable.

Anshul Kamboj: India’s Emerging All-Rounder – A Detailed Career Breakdown

About Him

Anshul Kamboj, born on December 6, 2000, in Karnal, Haryana, is a right-handed batting all-rounder known for his skiddy pace bowling and consistency in domestic cricket . At 25, he represents Haryana domestically and has become a rising star in Indian cricket, blending aggressive batting with sharp seam movement. His versatility and composure under pressure have earned him comparisons to future national team contenders.


Early Career & Domestic Rise

Kamboj’s cricketing journey began in Haryana’s local circuits, where his all-round abilities stood out. He made his domestic debut in the 2020–21 season , impressing selectors with his ability to contribute with both bat and ball . By February 2022 , he cemented his place in the Ranji Trophy , delivering impactful performances against Tripura . His breakthrough came in the 2022–23 season , where he picked up 17 wickets in limited-overs games, showcasing his knack for breaking partnerships.

A defining moment arrived when he claimed a historic 10-wicket haul in first-class cricket , underlining his potential as a future Test prospect . Domestically, he averages 30+ with the bat and maintains an economy rate below 6.5 in T20s, proving his dual-threat value .


International Prospects

Despite his domestic heroics, Kamboj has yet to break into the Indian national team . However, his performances have placed him on the radar for India A and potential T20I/ODI call-ups. Analysts argue his skiddy pace and lower-order finishing could make him a dark horse for white-ball roles, provided he sustains form in high-pressure matches .


IPL Journey: From Debut to 2025

Kamboj’s IPL debut came in 2024 with Mumbai Indians (MI) , where he played three matches and took two wickets . Though his initial impact was modest, his 2025 IPL season saw him retained by MI, highlighting their faith in his development . Key traits in the IPL include:

  • Skiddy deliveries : His low trajectory and late swing trouble batsmen.
  • Death-over specialist : Bowls tight lines under pressure, conceding under 9 RPO in 2024.
  • Lower-order grit : Scores quickly at No. 8, averaging 25+ in T20s .

His 2025 campaign will test his ability to adapt to elite competition and push for higher honors.

Strong Zones & Playing Style

Kamboj thrives in domestic conditions , leveraging his seam-bowling variations and aggressive strokeplay . Key strengths include:

  • Bowling : Relies on late swing , accurate yorkers , and reverse swing in death overs.
  • Batting : Excels in chases , targeting spinners with innovative shots and rotating strike effectively.
  • Fielding : A dynamic presence in the slips and covers, often saving crucial runs .

His ability to anchor lower orders and break partnerships makes him indispensable in tight contests.


Legacy & Future Outlook

Though still early in his career, Kamboj embodies the archetype of a modern all-rounder. His 10-wicket haul in first-class cricket and consistent IPL cameos signal promise . If he maintains this trajectory, he could challenge for India A selection by 2026, potentially bridging the gap between domestic and international cricket. Legacy-wise, his story reflects Haryana’s growing cricketing prowess, inspiring regional talent to aim for the pinnacle.

Match Overview

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the upcoming Match No. 61 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Monday, May 19.

With three games remaining, LSG are in a must-win situation as they hold the seventh position on the points table with 10 points from 11 games. Their playoff hopes are tough, and another loss would officially knock them out of contention. The Rishabh Pant-led side lost four of their last five matches and are lacking momentum and confidence. However, a repose can just work wonders for the side, as they have gotten time to re-think their strategies.

Furthermore, star pacer Mayank Yadav has been ruled out due to injury and replaced by New Zealand’s Will O’Rourke. LSG’s best-case scenario is winning all three remaining fixtures, against SRH, GT, and RCB, to reach 16 points. However, their poor net run-rate (NRR) of -0.469 means they’ll need favourable results from other teams as well.

For SRH, already eliminated with just three wins in 11 games, are playing for their pride and can play to spoil the party of other teams. The Orange Army would hope to dent LSG’s playoff chances, especially after losing to them earlier this season. Notably, all overseas players are available for selection.

LSG vs SRH Pitch Report

This season, the Ekana Stadium’s surface has changed from being a low-scoring pitch to a high-scoring track. 181 runs have been the most successful chase. Consequently, on the pitch, a score higher than 190 will be competitive.

PITCH

The surface of the Ekana Cricket Stadium looks good for batting this year unlike the previous years where the bowlers had advantage. It provides a fair contest between bat and ball that could lead to a competitive match. The team batting first at this ground won eight times while the chasing team came out victorious on 10 occasions. The average score at this ground is 168 runs.

LSG vs SRH Weather Report

There are no chances of rain during the game in Lucknow on Monday, with a maximum temperature of 39°C and a minimum of 28°C.

Ravichandran Ashwin: India’s Spin Maestro and All-Round Titan


Ravichandran Ashwin, born on September 17, 1986, in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, is a right-arm off-spin bowler and a dynamic lower-order batter who redefined spin bowling in modern cricket . His journey from domestic circuits to becoming India’s premier all-rounder is a testament to his skill, adaptability, and relentless work ethic.

Early Career and Domestic Breakthrough

Ashwin’s cricketing journey began in Tamil Nadu’s age-group teams, where his ability to extract turn and bounce quickly caught attention. He made his first-class debut for Tamil Nadu in 2006, delivering match-winning performances in the Ranji Trophy. His 2009–10 season, where he claimed 44 wickets at an average of 18.52, cemented his reputation as a rising star . This consistency earned him a spot in India’s national setup, marking the start of a storied career.

International Career: A Legacy of Excellence

Ashwin debuted in international cricket in 2010, swiftly becoming India’s go-to spinner across formats . By 2024, he had amassed over 750 international wickets , including 500+ in Tests, making him one of India’s most prolific bowlers . His mastery of the “carrom ball” and ability to exploit pitch conditions made him a match-winner in all conditions. In ODIs, he played a pivotal role in India’s 2011 World Cup triumph and their 2016 T20 World Cup final appearance . Ashwin’s 31 five-wicket hauls in Tests underscore his dominance, while his 22 centuries and 50+ ODI fifties as a batter highlighted his all-round genius .

Ravichandran Ashwin IPL factfile

– Offspinner R Ashwin has played for five IPL teams since his debut season in 2009.

– With 171 wickets before the start of IPL 2024, Ashwin is among the top-five wicket-takers in IPL history.

– Ashwin began his IPL career at Chennai Super Kings (CSK), whom he represented from 2008 to 2015. In the 2011 IPL final between CSK and RCB, MS Dhoni gave Ashwin the new ball and he took the key wicket of Chris Gayle in the first over. Ashwin’s 20 wickets in 2011 is his highest tally in an IPL season to date.

– After CSK were banned for two years following corruption charges, Ashwin played IPL 2016 for Rising Pune Supergiant and missed 2017 because of injury, before moving to Kings XI Punjab (KXIP, now Punjab Kings).

– Ashwin was captain of KXIP from 2018, and in 2019 his mankading (run-out of the non-striker backing-up) of Rajasthan Royals batter Jos Buttler became a subject of heated debate.

– Ahead of IPL 2020, Ashwin was traded to Delhi Capitals, where he spent two seasons before moving to RR in 2022. At Royals, he was used up the order as a pinch-hitter and became the first batter to retire out tactically in an IPL game.

– Nine years after he had last played for CSK, Ashwin returned to his home franchise for IPL 2025, earning his highest IPL bid of INR 9.75 crore.

Strengths: The Art of Adaptation

Ashwin’s greatest strength lies in his chameleon-like adaptability . On turning pitches, he was a nightmare for batters, but he also excelled on seamer-friendly tracks by using flight and guile. His batting, often underrated, saw him anchor lower-order stands and finish matches with calculated aggression. As a fielder, his agility and leadership as a captain (in domestic cricket) further elevated his value.

Legacy: A Trailblazer for Indian Spin Bowling

Ashwin’s career redefined spin bowling’s role in limited-overs cricket. He inspired a generation of wrist-spinners and off-spinners in India, proving that classical spin could dominate even in power-hitting eras. His 2021 ICC Test Player of the Year award and multiple Man-of-the-Series accolades in bilateral tours underscore his enduring impact. Post-retirement in 2024, he remains a mentor figure, shaping cricket’s future through coaching and commentary.

Rachin Ravindra: New Zealand’s Dynamic All-Rounder – A Comprehensive Profile

About Him

Born on November 18, 1999 , in Wellington, New Zealand , Rachin Ravindra is a left-handed batter and slow-left-arm orthodox spinner who embodies New Zealand’s cricketing future 8. Hailing from a family with Indian roots , he blends technical precision with aggressive intent, making him a versatile asset across formats . Standing at 6’2″, his height aids both his batting reach and bowling accuracy, setting him apart as a modern all-rounder.

Early Career

Rachin’s cricketing journey began early, showcasing prodigious talent. He debuted internationally at 16 , representing New Zealand in two ICC Under-19 World Cups (2016 and 2018) . His performances in youth cricket earned rapid promotions through New Zealand’s age-group systems, culminating in his senior T20I debut at 21 . By 2021, he had already won accolades for his batting and spin-bowling, signaling his potential as a future leader .

Domestic Career

Rachin represents Wellington in the Plunket Shield (First-Class) and Central Districts in the Super Smash (T20) . Though his domestic stats remain understated due to frequent international call-ups, his ability to anchor innings and break partnerships with his spin has made him a pivotal figure in regional teams. His performances in New Zealand’s domestic circuit, particularly his 133 against Auckland in 2022 *, underscored his temperament under pressure .

International Career

Rachin’s international breakthrough came in September 2021 when he debuted in T20Is against Bangladesh , followed by a Test debut later that year against India , where he scored 37 and 24 in challenging conditions . In ODIs , he debuted in 2023, cementing his role as a middle-order stabilizer. His T20I stats include 309 runs in 26 matches (HS: 69 ) * and 12 wickets, with a standout 69 off 47 balls against Sri Lanka * in 2023, guiding New Zealand to victory .

IPL Journey

In 2022, Chennai Super Kings acquired Rachin for ₹50 lakh , recognizing his all-round potential . However, limited opportunities in a star-studded lineup restricted his impact, with just 3 matches across two seasons. Despite this, his performances in the IPL’s nets and practice games impressed coaches, hinting at future growth if given a regular role.

Other T20 Leagues & T10 League

As of 2025, Rachin has not participated in leagues like the CPL , PSL , BBL , focusing instead on international and domestic duties. His absence from the T10 League suggests a strategic focus on formats aligning with New Zealand’s schedule, though franchises globally monitor his progress for potential bids.

Strong Zone

Rachin thrives in middle-order batting (Nos. 4–6), where his adaptability and left-hand angle disrupt right-handed-heavy lineups. His left-arm orthodox spin provides control in death overs, complementing aggressive seam attacks. Additionally, his sharp reflexes in the field and tactical awareness under pressure make him a captain’s favorite in crunch moments .

Legacy & Future Prospects

Though still early in his career, Rachin’s all-round consistency and composure in high-stakes games have drawn comparisons to legends like Daniel Vettori . With 3,000+ international runs and 50+ wickets across formats projected by 2027, he aims to become New Zealand’s go-to all-rounder in Tests and white-ball cricket. His ability to perform in overseas conditions, coupled with IPL exposure, positions him as a global T20 asset.
