Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings team will clash at Chepauk Stadium, these players can get place
Indian Premier League 2023 is now going to see a great match between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings. On April 12, the teams of Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings will clash at the Chepauk Stadium. Currently Rajasthan Royals team has secured more points than Chennai. In such a situation, it will be very important for Chennai to win this match.
In-form Rajasthan Royals openers Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal will face Chennai Super Kings at their bastion Chepauk Stadium, where the challenge of dealing with their formidable spinners will not be easy. England’s white-ball captain Butler and India’s young batsman Jaiswal have scored two half-centuries each. Butler’s strike rate is 180.95 and Jaiswal’s is 164.47. The Royals have so far played two out of three matches in Guwahati where they got a flat pitch. The Hyderabad pitch was also helpful to the batsmen.
Now the pitch in Chennai will be helpful to the slow bowlers. In such a situation, the role of toss will be important because chasing a target of 170 or 175 will not be easy on this pitch. Especially when there are bowlers like Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja and Mitchell Santner in front. All three have taken 11 wickets in three matches so far and their economy rate has been excellent. Moeen hit 6. Bowled at an average of 50 while Jadeja and Santner have also given less than seven runs per over. Moeen missed the last match due to food infection but now he will play in place of Sisanda Magala.
On the other hand, Dwayne Pretorius will replace Ben Stokes if he is not fit. The Royals spinners also cannot be taken lightly. This is the home ground of clever bowler Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal is also a match winning bowler. Tamil Nadu’s Murugan Ashwin is also in the team. Chennai will miss Deepak Chahar, who is out of the tournament due to a hamstring injury. It remains to be seen who Dhoni now chooses between Rajvardhan Hungergekar and Simarjit Singh. Batting veteran Ajinkya Rahane proved his worth while making his debut for Chennai.
Ruturaj Gaikwad has been consistent at the top of the order. Both the teams have strong batting line-up which is expected to be an interesting encounter tomorrow. Royals have top batsmen like captain Sanju Samson and Shimron Hetmyer. At the same time, Trent Boult and Jason Holder have experience in bowling.
