Today Match Prediction for CSK vs RR: Rajasthan Royals will take on Chennai Super Kings in the 12th match of Vivo IPL 2021 on Monday. Both sides have had a similar start to their season thus far. Both have secured two points each, however, with a better Net run rate, Chennai Super Kings are placed at the top half of the table, while Rajasthan are sitting at the fifth position. Today Match Prediction for CSK vs RR Chennai Super Kings have made a solid comeback after losing their first game of the season. Deepak Chahar emerged as the hero for them as his best IPL figures of 4 for 13 helped CSK win their second game against PBKS by 6 wickets. Deepak Chahar broke the back of PBKS claiming the wickets of Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran and Deepak Hooda. PBKS' new recruit, Shah Rukh Khan managed to take the side to 107 in the end. However, it didn’t prove enough as CSK chased down the total in 15.4 overs. The next game is set to be played at Wankhede Stadium and the wickets will once again offer some swing and bounce early on. Deepak Chahar will look to make use of the new ball and take the early wickets. Sam Curran too bowled pretty well in the last game, though Shardul Thakur went for a few. From what we have seen in the last two games, Moeen Ali will play at number three for CSK this season, followed by Suresh Raina and Ambati Rayudu at four and five respectively. Given that MOeen Ali also bowls at least three overs for the side, he is a must-have in your fantasy eleven. Besides, Sam Curran and Suresh Raina are also two valuable picks looking at their current form. Faf du Plessis got back amongst the runs. He scored an unbeaten 36-run knock in the last game and thus, he too could be a good option in the batting department. Rajasthan Royals haven’t lost the spirit despite missing two players such as Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer in the squad. They still have a lot of firepower in the squad to win games. The last game is a testimony that. After losing Sanju Samson and Jos Buttler early in the 148-run chase against Delhi Capitals, David Miller (62 off 43) and Chris Morris (36 off 18) stepped for the side and helped them reach home. Miller’s form with the bat is a big boost for the side as it will strengthen their middle-order. South African all-rounder Chris Morris also showed the world why the team shelled out so much money to buy his services. His all-round services are once again likely to come in handy ahead of the game against CSK. For your fantasy side, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, David Miller and Chris Morris are some of the valuable picks. Though the wicket doesn’t give a lot of assistance to the spinners, it won’t be wrong to pick Rahul Tewatia, who might give you a couple of wickets with the ball. In CSK vs RR match prediction, let’s look into some important stats from teams and the players from both sides: Chennai Super Kings have locked horn with Rajasthan Royals on 23 occasions in IPL. In 23 meetings, CSK have won 14 games, while RR have managed to claim nine victories. Sanju Samson who struck a century in RR’s first game doesn’t have a great record against Deepak Chahar.

CSK and RR both are coming on the back of a win in their last game. However, the absence of Ben Stokes and Archer is likely to hurt RR against a solid looking CSK.

Today IPL Pitch Report: The pitch at Wankhede has been a paradise for the batsmen. Kings XI Punjab scored 196 runs in the last game against Delhi Capitals on this surface.
