IPL-2019: CSK vs RR
On Sunday, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team will face Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their home. During this IPL match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, all eyes will remain on the pitch. There was considerable criticism of this pitch after the inaugural match. The 12th match of the current IPL will start at 8 o'clock
In the inaugural match of the tournament, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) team was dismissed for 70 runs, and Chennai also managed to win by 7 wickets in the 18th over. Pitch was playing very slow and criticized both his captains Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli. It would be interesting to see how pitch behaves on Sundays.
Meanwhile, the Chennai team has started the season with two consecutive wins and will try to retain their goals. After defeating RCB, he defeated Delhi Capitals in the second match.
Chennai is known for not making much changes in the playing XI and it needs to see if it comes down again with three foreign players. If he does not change his team, South Africa captain Faf du Plessis will have to sit out again.
The Super Kings bowlers did well in both the matches, but the batsmen could not show such a game. Captain Dhoni, who batted well against Delhi, would also be hoping for better performance than other batsmen. Experienced Harbhajan Singh, Imran Tahir and Dwayne Bravo have bowled well till now and they will try to retain this display.
As far as Rajasthan is concerned, in the captaincy of Ajinkya Rahane, he has lost both of his matches so far. If he has to beat Chennai on his home ground, then he has to do his best. Rajasthan had to face defeat in a match against Kings XI Punjab. This was the same match in which Ravichandran Ashwin had 'Manking' to Jos Buttler. After this, he had to face defeat in the big-scoring match against Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sanju Samson scored 102 not out, but Royals failed to defend the score of 198 runs. Rajasthan captain Ajinkya Rahane will be happy with the performance of the batsmen but his bowlers need to play better game
