RR vs CSK Today IPL Match Prediction :
Rajasthan Royals will face off three times champions Chennai Super Kings in their first match of Indian Premier League 2020 in Sharjah tomorrow. Steven Smith’s this team will look to kick off their campaign on a winning note and players will be eager to perform on the field after a long time. On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings made a winning start of their campaign after a five wickets win over defending champions Mumbai Indians and they will be eyeing their second victory of the tournament.
Here we are going to discuss strengths and weakness of Rajasthan Royals as well as of Chennai Super Kings and will also make our RR vs CSK Today Match Prediction –
Strengths :
Rajasthan Royals’ major strength is their batting line up as they have Jos Buttler, Steven Smith, David Miller, Robin Uthappa, Sanju Samson who all are experienced player of this format and young guns Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag too have shown their potential and will be crucial for Rajasthan’s success. In the bowling they have Jofra Archer who is one of the best pacers at present and T20 specialist Andrew Tye who will be crucial in middle overs and spinner Shreyas Gopal who was outstanding in the last class so they have a good team who can challenge anyone on their day.
On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings’ major strength is their bowling attack and captaincy of MS Dhoni. Though in the batting they have some old and out of form players but Ambati Rayudu and Faf du Plessis who got fifties in the first match have shown they are in good flow and hungry for runs. Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran played the finishers’ role very well and in bowling Piyush Chawla, Deepak Chahar and Lungi Ngidi all did well against Mumbai and that performance will give them more confidence ahead of this game.
Weaknesses :
Rajasthan Royals’ weakness is the absence of a finisher as Ben Stokes isn’t available for some time due to personal reasons and in the bowling attack apart from Jofra Archer and Shreyas Gopal other bowlers like Jaydev Undakat, Oshane Thomas, Varun Aaron and Ankit Rajpoor have been clueless in death overs so they need to improve in these two areas and someone like David Miller has to play the finishers’ role and other bowlers have to be used carefully.
On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings’ weakness is the form of their opening pair as both Shane Watson and Murali Vijay looked clueless against pacers in the first match and if they don’t give good start then it will create more pressure on middle order and in the bowling Ravindra Jadeja looked out of the touch and he has to do well in the middle overs along with Piyush Chawla.
Here we are going to discuss both Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings’ playing combination and probable playing Xis who will be useful for making Rajasthan vs Chennai Dream11 Team
Jos Buttler is unavailable for the tomorrow’s match due to quarantine period and in his absence Rajasthan Royals could go with one extra batsmen to strengthen the batting so they might go with six batsmen, one all rounder and four bowlers. On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings might go with the same playing 11 who played against Mumbai Indians.

Rajasthan Royals :
Robin Uthappa, Manan Vohra, Steven Smith (c), Sanju Samson (wk), Riyan Parag, David Miller, Tom Curran, Shreyas Gopal, Jofra Archer, Ankit Rajpoot, Rahul Tewatia

RR vs CSK Today IPLMatch Prediction :
Here we are going to discuss about a few players from both sides who can be very good picks for RR vs CSK Dream 11 Prediction teams
Ambati Rayudu – He is usually plays anchor’s role but in the last match he counter attacked under pressure and played 71 runs brilliant knock against a good bowling attack and looked in good form and should continue his good run.
Steven Smith – He didn’t play enough cricket in England series but has always been consistent in the IPL and captaincy will further motivate him to do well and his record of 2022 runs at 37 in IPL is quite good.
Sam Curran – In the first match he took a wicket and played 18 runs game changing knock. Under lights his swing bowling will be useful and down the order he can score useful knocks so he is a good pick for fantasy teams.
Jofra Archer – He is coming after having a good series against Australia and his pace will trouble batsmen in these conditions and he always goes for wickets so might end up with 2-3 wickets especially if he bowls in death overs.
