Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will welcome Rajasthan Royals (RR) at their home ground at Chepauk in the 61st match of the Indian Premier League 2024 on Sunday at 3:30 PM IST.
It is a vital game for Chennai Super Kings as they are yet to confirm their place in the playoffs and find themselves in a spot of bother after losing their previous match against Gujarat Titans. The CSK are 4th in the points table with 6 wins and 6 defeats after 12 matches. With Lucknow Super Giants, Delhi Capitals, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru lurking behind, the Yellow Army must win this contest to boost their chances of qualifying for the playoffs.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals are sitting 2nd in the points table with 8 wins and 3 losses after 11 matches. Rajasthan Royals have lost their previous two matches and they will be eager to bounce back ahead of the playoffs. Furthermore, they will also be looking to assert their position among the top two with an away victory. The Sunrisers Hyderabad are right behind them and another defeat will come back to haunt them later in the competition.
Meanwhile, in this post, we will try to predict the top three batters who will score the most runs in today’s CSK vs RR IPL match.
1 – Ruturaj Gaikwad
| Performance in IPL 2024 | Record against Rajasthan Royals | Record at the Chepauk Stadium |
| 541 runs in 12 matches at a strike rate of 145.82 | 168 runs in 6 matches at a strike rate of 141.18 | 664 runs in 14 matches at a strike rate of 143.10 |
Ruturaj is CSK’s leading run-getter this season and 2nd behind Virat Kohli in the Orange Cap list. The CSK’s batting revolves around Ruturaj Gaikwad and he will be the key batter for CSK in this game.
2 – Sanju Samson
| Performance in IPL 2024 | Record against CSK | Record at the Chepauk Stadium |
| 471 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 163.54 | 214 runs in 15 matches at a strike rate of 117.58 | 34 runs in 3 matches at a strike rate of 117.24 |
The skipper Sanju Samson has been leading Rajasthan Royals from the front in the IPL 2024. The right-handed batter has been in prime form this season and he has been the glue that is holding the RR’s batting together.
3 – Daryl Mitchell
| Performance in IPL 2024 | Record against Rajasthan Royals | Record at the Chepauk Stadium |
| 292 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 143.13 | N/A | 135 runs in 6 matches at a strike rate of 135.00 |
Ever since his promotion to number three, Daryl Mitchell has been pretty consistent with the bat. He is one of the few batters in the CSK’s line-up who is comfortable against spin and pace bowling at the same time. The Kiwi all-rounder is coming off after a solid knock against Gujarat Titans in the previous match.
