IPL 2024: CSK vs RR preview - Form guide, head-to-head record, team changes, weather, probable XI

<h2>Ajinkya Rahane has managed just 1 double-digit score in his last 5 outings for CSK and could lose his place in the starting XI, with Ruturaj Gaikwad expected to return to the opening slot.</h2>

This Sunday, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) face a critical challenge as they square off against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in a vital IPL clash. Both teams are eager to secure their positions in the playoff race, with CSK particularly desperate for a win after recent setbacks.
Currently positioned fourth in the IPL standings, CSK have accumulated 12 points from 12 games. However, a recent defeat to the Gujarat Titans has increased the pressure on the team, necessitating victories in their final two matches to ensure a playoff spot.
Conversely, the Rajasthan Royals hold the second spot with 16 points but are coming off two consecutive losses to Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals. Although their playoff spot is not in immediate jeopardy, the Royals, led by Sanju Samson, are keen to regain their winning form as they head towards the knockout stages.
In their last outing, CSK's top order, featuring Ajinkya Rahane, Rachin Ravindra, and captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, failed to perform, which significantly impacted the team's performance against the Gujarat Titans. This has set the stage for a potential lineup change, particularly for Rahane, who may face a make-or-break situation in the upcoming game.
While Daryl Mitchell and Moeen Ali's return to form has been a positive development for CSK, Shivam Dube's recent performances have been lacklustre since his selection for India's T20 World Cup squad. Despite a quick 21 against Gujarat, Dube is under pressure to perform, both to justify his World Cup selection and to help propel his team into the playoffs.
CSK's bowers Tushar Deshpande and Shardul Thakur showed promise in their last game, turning in an unexpectedly economical performance but the others need to step up. With the upcoming match set in Chennai, the home team's bowlers are expected to leverage their familiarity with the conditions, especially given the reduced impact of dew in this afternoon game, which could benefit the spinners.
Rajasthan Royals, eager to halt their losing streak, will see this match as a prime opportunity to stabilize. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has had a disappointing season, is under pressure to prove his worth ahead of the World Cup. Likewise, skipper Samson, also bound for the World Cup, will be looking for stronger performances from teammates like Riyan Parag, Shubham Dubey, and Rovman Powell.
Rajasthan's veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, fresh from taking three wickets against Delhi, is likely to play a crucial role on his home ground. Alongside him, the experienced Yuzvendra Chahal will bolster the Royals' bowling attack. Although Avesh Khan struggled in the last match, he will surely be given another chance to regain his form before the World Cup.
Team News
Ajinkya Rahane has managed just 1 double-digit score in his last 5 outings for CSK and could lose his place in the side. Rajasthan Royals, despite the defeat in their last two encounters, could keep the same lineup.
Head-to-head record

<h2>With Deepak Chahar, Matheesha Pathirana and Mustafizur Rahman, all not available, the onus will be on the Tushar Deshpande and the trio of CSK spinners to rise to the challenge once again.</h2>

Defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are set to face the Gujarat Titans in a crucial away match this Friday. Despite being disadvantaged by the absence of key bowlers due to injuries and international duties, CSK are determined to demonstrate their competitiveness on the field. The team is currently in a challenging position, tied in a mid-table scramble with 12 points from 11 games, making this encounter particularly significant as they strive for a playoff spot.
CSK have been navigating the tournament without several of their main bowlers. Deepak Chahar and Matheesha Pathirana are sidelined due to injuries, and Mustafizur Rahman is on national duty, leaving their bowling lineup, excluding Ravindra Jadeja and Tushar Deshpande, somewhat depleted.
The performance of CSK&rsquo;s trio of spinners, Ravindra Jadeja, Mitchell Santner, and Moeen Ali, will be pivotal on the challenging two-paced track. However, the team's ability to defend a total of 167 against the Punjab Kings in Dharamsala has bolstered their confidence. A victory in this match would not only enhance their playoff chances but could also propel them to third place in the standings, surpassing Sunrisers Hyderabad due to a superior net run rate. Among the teams with 12 points, only CSK boast of the best net run rate of +0.700.
Conversely, the Gujarat Titans, who are currently at the bottom of the table, face their own set of challenges. With a maximum of 14 points available to them, their prospects of reaching the top four are slim. The team has won only one of their last five matches, indicating a lack of confidence and struggles across all facets of the game.
The Titans have felt the absence of Mohammed Shami due to injury, and captain Shubman Gill appears to be burdened by his leadership responsibilities, with recent performances faltering at the plate. Additionally, players like Sai Sudharsan, Shahrukh Khan, and David Miller have shown inconsistency. The team&rsquo;s bowlers, particularly Mohit Sharma and Josh Little, have struggled during the Powerplay, exemplified by their allowance of 92 runs in the Powerplay against RCB, who subsequently chased down a modest target of 147 in 13.4 overs.
For CSK, leadership and performance are not in question. Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has been a standout, amassing 541 runs from 11 innings and currently just one run behind Virat Kohli in the race for the Orange Cap. Additionally, Daryl Mitchell&rsquo;s recent form, combined with Shivam Dube's hopeful return to his best after a recent slump could bolster the team&rsquo;s prospects.
One of the highlights for CSK was the introduction of Simarjeet Singh as an impact player in their last match against PBKS. Making his debut, Simarjeet consistently delivered speeds over 140 km/h and impressed with figures of 2/16 from three overs. He'll keep his place in the side.
Team News
Kartik Tyagi, who is yet to feature in the IPL this season, could finally get some game time for the Gujarat Titans.
For CSK, even though Ajinkya Rahane's form remains a big worry, the Yellow Army are unlikely to tinker with their winning lineup.
Head-to-head record
There's nothing to choose between the two sides, with each winning 3 out of the 6 games they have played against each other.
Weather report
After a few scattered showers on Thursday, the weather will brighten up on Friday. With a maximum temperature of 40-41&deg;C during the day, it will be a hot evening for the players in the middle. We should, however, get a full game.

IPL 2024, PBKS vs CSK: Chennai defend 167; Punjab's campaign hangs by a thread

A target of 168 in Dharamsala is often a cakewalk but not when the team defending it is CSK. Chennai thrashed Punjab Kings by 28 runs on Sunday to return to winning ways and ended PBKS' 2-match winning run in IPL 2024.

A target of 168 in Dharamsala is often a cakewalk but not when the team defending it is CSK. Chennai thrashed Punjab Kings by 28 runs on Sunday to return to winning ways and ended PBKS' 2-match winning run in IPL 2024.
PBKS' decision to bowl first was the right call as CSK was reduced to 75/4 in 8.5 overs.
For a change, MS Dhoni was out for a golden duck but Ravindra Jadeja stood up with an all-round show.
Firstly, he helped CSK finish at 167/9 on back of a 26-ball-43 and then also spun his magic with the ball.
Jaddu picked up 3 wickets as Punjab could only manage 139/9 in 20 overs.
Tushar Deshpande rattled the hosts by cleaning up Jonny Bairstow and Rilee Rossouw in his very first over.
Last 4 batter did avoid PBKS from being bowled out but the loss was inevitable.

Tushar Deshpande was the star of the night as the Chennai Super Kings returned to winning ways by thrashing the Sunrisers Hyderabad by 78 runs in the second game of a super Sunday in IPL 2024.
Having lost the toss, CSK had to once again bat first at the Chepauk and just like the previous game against LSG, they once again scored in access of 200.
Ruturaj Gaikwad once again came good with 98. He was coming off a hundred at the same ground.
But this time CSK bowlers were determined to defend the target. Chasing 213, SRH threw away wickets upfront and lost half their side with just 85 runs on the board. Tushar Deshpande was the chief destroyer, who scalped top 3 SRH batters. He eventually ended with 4 wickets, his best spell in IPL history.
Heinrich Klaasen too couldn't rescue SRH as they all out for 134 in reply. It was the first time the Sunrisers were bowled out this season.
Interestingly, it was the 150th IPL win for MS Dhoni and the 50th win for CSK at the Chepauk.
While CSK won after 2 consecutive losses, Hyderabad's campaign is suddenly sliding down with 2 consecutive losses.

SRH’s recent loss to RCB was a collective failure of their top and middle order in the chase but it's unlikely they will make changes to their approach.

<h2>SRH&rsquo;s recent loss to RCB was a collective failure of their top and middle order in the chase but it's unlikely they will make changes to their approach.</h2>

On Sunday evening, defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK), stung by consecutive defeats, will face the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a pivotal IPL match. This clash pits a CSK team eager to recover their form against an SRH squad that, despite a recent setback, remains a potent force this season.
CSK began the season under new captain Ruturaj Gaikwad with promising victories, but their momentum has been halted by two successive losses to the Lucknow Super Giants. The most recent defeat was particularly disheartening for CSK fans, as LSG overcame a hefty target of 210 at the Chepauk stadium, highlighted by Marcus Stoinis&rsquo; remarkable century. Currently, CSK are part of the mid-table congestion, with 8 points from 8 matches.
SRH, currently third, have made headlines this season by setting record IPL totals. However, they enter this match on the back of a 35-run defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, marking their third loss of the season. This stumble suggests a vulnerability in SRH's aggressive batting strategy, as acknowledged by head coach Daniel Vettori after their failed chase against RCB.
CSK&rsquo;s performance has largely revolved around the exploits of captain Gaikwad, who recently scored his second IPL century, and Shivam Dube, who has consistently performed with the bat. Despite contributions from Ravindra Jadeja, the team&rsquo;s top order has struggled for consistency, prompting changes in the batting lineup.
The CSK bowlers had a tough outing in their last game, struggling with the heavy dew at Chepauk, which negated their spin attack and aided LSG&rsquo;s successful chase of 213. The pace bowlers managed to take all four wickets that fell, but the spinners and fielders faced difficulties, affecting the team&rsquo;s overall performance.
SRH&rsquo;s recent loss to RCB was a collective failure of their top and middle order in the chase, leading to reflections on their batting approach. Despite this, there is little indication of major changes to their batting lineup for the upcoming match, though there is pressure on Aiden Markram to improve his performance after two low scores.
In the bowling department, veteran seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar has had a lean patch, capturing only one wicket in his last three games. This might prompt SRH to consider alternatives, such as Umran Malik, whose speed could add a new dimension to their attack. However, it's more likely that they will persist with the veteran pacer.
Both teams will also have to contend with the unpredictable dew factor, which could influence strategy, particularly in deciding whether to bat or bowl first. With SRH having a preference for setting totals and their recent record of defending successfully, they might opt to bat first if conditions allow.
Team News
Despite suffering losses in their previous game, it's unlikely the two teams will make too many changes. Rachin Ravindra might get another go in place of Daryl Mitchell, with Ajinkya Rahane also dropping out. 19-year-old Shaik Rasheed could also get his first game of the tournament. Rajvardhan Hangargekar too remains an option for CSK.
Sunrisers, despite their loss against RCB, will probably field the same XI.
Head-to-head record 
CSK and SRH have faced each other 20 times, with the Yellow Army ruling the record with 14 wins compared to Sunrisers' 6.
Weather report
A hot and humid evening awaits with temperatures in the early 30s. There's also a 5-10% chance of rain but expect a full 40-overs contest.

SRH Probable XI: Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen(w), Nitish Reddy, Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Pat Cummins(c), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, Mayank Markande (Impact sub: T Natarajan)

The stand between Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube proved devastating in the death overs as they took the Lucknow Super Giants' bowlers to task. Their 104-run partnership off 49 balls propelled CSK to 210.

<h2>The stand between Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube proved devastating in the death overs as they took the Lucknow Super Giants' bowlers to task. Their 104-run partnership off 49 balls propelled CSK to 210.</h2>

In a commanding display of batting prowess, Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad notched his second IPL century, leading his team to an impressive 210-run total against the Lucknow Super Giants at their home ground, Chepauk. This historic innings marked the first-ever century by a CSK captain, and the first at Chepauk since Brendon McCullum's memorable ton against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2015.
Returning to his role as an opener, Gaikwad showcased his exceptional skills and temperament. Despite the early loss of his opening partner, Ajinkya Rahane, Gaikwad's composed and resilient innings anchored CSK's batting lineup. He demonstrated a masterclass in risk-free cricket, meticulously building his innings and steering his team towards a formidable score.
Throughout his innings, Gaikwad remained undeterred and focused, playing what can only be described as a chanceless knock. While other seasoned players like Daryl Mitchell and Ravindra Jadeja found it challenging to accelerate the scoring rate, Gaikwad took the responsibility upon himself, ensuring that CSK was set on course for a significant total.
As the innings progressed, Shivam Dube entered the fray and immediately made an impact, relieving some of the pressure on Gaikwad. However, Gaikwad&rsquo;s determination did not wane. Approaching his century, he continued to search for boundary opportunities, eventually reaching the milestone with a splendid four over extra cover.
The partnership between Gaikwad and Dube proved devastating in the death overs as they took the Lucknow Super Giants' bowlers to task. While Gaikwad achieved his hundred off just 56 balls, Dube contributed significantly with a rapid 22-ball fifty, further enhancing CSK's position in the game. Dube eventually finished with a 27-ball 66 as CSK finished with a massive 210 on the board.

The Chennai Super Kings have relied heavily on the performance of Shivam Dube, who has been instrumental in piling up runs for the team. However, his failure in the previous game against LSG resulted in a lacklustre batting display during the middle overs.

<h2>The Chennai Super Kings have relied heavily on the performance of Shivam Dube, who has been instrumental in piling up runs for the team. However, his failure in the previous game against LSG resulted in a lacklustre batting display during the middle overs.</h2>

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will host the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in a highly anticipated reverse fixture this Tuesday. Both teams are eager to break free from the mid-table congestion and CSK, the defending champions, are particularly focused on avenging their recent defeat to LSG. The previous encounter between these two teams saw LSG secure a victory, courtesy of a record-breaking opening stand by KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock, which left both teams tied at eight points each in the standings.
Playing at their home ground, where they have traditionally been strong, CSK will be determined to leverage their home advantage to rectify their past performance and strengthen their playoff aspirations. After the setback in their last matchup against LSG, CSK are looking forward to their upcoming series of home games as a golden opportunity to regain momentum.
The Super Kings have relied heavily on the performance of Shivam Dube, who has been instrumental in piling up runs for the team. However, his failure in the previous game against LSG resulted in a lacklustre batting display during the middle overs. Adjustments to the batting order saw Ajinkya Rahane opening and Gaikwad moving down to number three, despite his success at the top of the order for the 5-time champions. This lineup change remains a point of contention and it will be interesting to see how CSK adjust going forward.
Ravindra Jadeja's recent half-century provided some stability, allowing Moeen Ali and MS Dhoni to launch an offensive in the later stages of the innings, but CSK will be hoping for a more consistent performance from their top order in the rematch against LSG.
On the bowling front, CSK&rsquo;s pacers, including Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, and Mustafizur Rahman, will be under pressure to contain LSG's hitters after struggling in their last outing. Jadeja, despite his struggles in the previous match, is expected to play a key role in the familiar surroundings of Chepauk.
LSG's lineup has shown that they can be formidable when their batters find form. Rahul and de Kock are expected to once again lead the charge, with Nicholas Pooran also providing crucial runs in tight situations. Their bowling attack, potentially bolstered by the return of young pace prospect Mayank Yadav, will aim to improve on their previous performance, particularly in the death overs where they previously faltered against Dhoni&rsquo;s late assaults.
Krunal Pandya and Ravi Bishnoi, key figures in LSG&rsquo;s spin attack, will also be pivotal in their strategy against CSK. After a tough previous game, Bishnoi will be keen to rebound, while Pandya will look to replicate his effective middle-over spells. Team News
Rachin Ravindra's form has taken a hit in the last 5 matches but CSK will most likely persist with the Kiwi all-rounder. The Super Kings, however, also have the option of picking his compatriot Daryl Mitchell, who has previously opened for the Black Caps, or use him in the middle-order, with Rahane and Gaikwad taking the responsibility to open the innings.
For LSG, Mayank Yadav iwon't be available for this match as well. The speedster might only be back against the Rajasthan Royals on April 27, as per LSG bowling coach Morne Morkel.
Head-to-head record
The two sides have faced each other 4 times, with LSG leading the count with 2 wins to CSK's 1, while 1 match last season was a no result.
Weather Report
It will be a hot and humid evening at Chepauk, with temperatures hovering between the 30-35&deg;C mark. There's a 5% chance of rain as well, but expect a full game irrespective of the forecast.

CSK fret over injury concern ahead of IPL as pacer Pathirana suffers hamstring strain

<h2>The Sri Lankan slinger suffered the niggle during the second T20I against Bangladesh at Sylhet on March 6 and left the field without completing his spell.</h2>

Two weeks ahead of the upcoming IPL, defending champions Chennai Super Kings were left to fret over another injury concern as pacer Matheesha Pathirana has suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain on his left leg.
The Sri Lankan slinger suffered the niggle during the second T20I against Bangladesh at Sylhet on March 6 and left the field without completing his spell.
"Matheesha Pathirana will not be available for selection for the third T20I (on Saturday), as the player has sustained a Grade 1 hamstring injury on his left leg," Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said in a statement.
Pathirana bowled 3.4 overs in that match and took two wickets while conceding 28 runs.
This edition of IPL will start from March 22 and the CSK will face cross-city rivals Royal Challengers Bangalore at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in the opening match.
"The Grade 1 hamstring typically takes nearly two weeks to recover fully. So, it remains to be seen when Pathirana can join the team, and it is hard to tell at this stage whether he will be available for the initial couple of matches," an IPL source told PTI.
Pathirana played a big role in CSK's title march in the previous IPL, grabbing 19 wickets from 12 matches.
CSK are already without opener Devon Conway as the Kiwi batter has been ruled out for at least the first half of the league.
Conway sustained a thumb injury during the recent T20I series against Australia and has missed the subsequent two-match Test series.
Conway was CSK's leading run-getter in IPL 2023 with 672 runs, averaging close to 52.
