CSK won the toss and elected to bowl first

Both teams are seeking solutions after a challenging week in the IPL. Rajasthan Royals are gearing up for their final game under the leadership of Riyan Parag and their last match in Guwahati this season, at what they consider their second home. They will face Chennai Super Kings, who are still reeling from their heaviest defeat at home just two nights ago, where they were thoroughly dominated by RCB.

Both teams have had a tough few days, with RR slipping to a 0-2 record, and cracks beginning to show in the Chennai squad, despite their initial victory. Today’s game is crucial for halting their downward spiral.

CSK, on the other hand, must reconsider their batting setup, particularly after MS Dhoni’s appearance at number nine turned into a complete disaster. While Dhoni’s batting may be under scrutiny, he continues to impress with his exceptional wicketkeeping skills, having stumped Suryakumar Yadav and Phil Salt in the past two games with a quickness that only he possesses.
