Both teams have struggled to identify an ideal combination with CSK coming close in their last two games before D Bravo pulled out to another injury, while RR have tried five different opening combinations so far with this season Rajasthan Royals won the previous encounter between these two sides courtesy of Samson’s six-hitting masterclass at Sharjah.

Pitch Report

The track that was employed for the KKR vs SRH match will be used which was more on the slowish side and it could also be due to the fact that it was a day game. Pacers who can hit the deck hard have been more successful in Abu Dhabi with spinners not getting much assistance. Dew has been on and off at Abu Dhabi.

Chennai Super Kings – Dream11 Fantasy Order

CSK seemed to get their mojo back with their batting order starting to click and were so close to winning their last game against Delhi Capitals requiring to defend 17 runs off the last over before an injury to D Bravo ruined their chances. MS Dhoni still hasn’t fired with the bat yet but others seemed to found their form and they’re likely to persist with S Curran at the top despite the threat posed by Archer. Bravo is out of this match with a groin injury which provides a great chance for CSK to bring in I Tahir, their highest wicket-taker and the Purple Cap holder last season.

Let’s take a look at some best picks for CSK vs RR Dream11 Today Match Prediction

Captaincy Picks –

Faf Du Plessis – With his comfort factor against raw pace and his current form, he’s the best bet in CSK’s line-up to counter the pace and bounce of Archer and it’ll be easy riding for him once he gets through his spell. He’s also CSK’s best batsman this season scoring 365 runs from 9 matches.

S Watson – Coming in at No.3 could help his cause in this match vs RR, with Archer more likely to have finished his opening spell before Watson’s arrival. In the 5 matches he has played against his ex-franchise, Watson has scored 191 runs at an average of 38.20.

Vice-Captaincy Picks –

I Tahir – In all likelihood, Tahir should replace the injured Bravo for this contest and help CSK pick some wickets in the crucial middle-overs period. Don’t forget the fact that he was the Purple Cap winner in last year’s IPL with 26 wickets to his name.

R Jadeja – The left-handed all-rounder has taken some responsibility with the bat after the absence of Raina and has played the role of a floater beautifully scoring 159 runs from 9 games. His left-arm spin will come more than handy with the presence of too many right-handers in RR batting order.

Differential Pick –

S Thakur  – He has been amongst the wickets this season with the usage of cross-seam deliveries and mixing up hard lengths and yorkers well. His tournament tally of 9 wickets from 6 games accentuates this fact.

Rajasthan Royals – Dream11 Fantasy Order

Five different opening combinations in 8 odd games and their last pairing of Uthappa and Stokes provided a great start at the PowerPlay last game with Uthappa bringing out his beast mode. But this move has come at the cost of dropping their best batsman in the last 3 season, J Buttler to play a finisher kind of role. They lost their last game vs RCB despite being in a comfortable position after the grave mistake from Smith to let Unadkat bowl the penultimate over against a set AB de Villiers. Regarding the team changes, RR will replace Unadkat with any one of their local fast bowlers.

Let’s take a look at some best picks for CSK vs RR Dream11 Prediction

Captaincy Picks

B Stokes – He has been promoted to open the batting for RR this season even ahead of J Buttler. CSK’s pace attack doesn’t pose much of a threat to him and his only nemesis could be in the form of I Tahir.

J Archer – With his high pace and bounce, he’s a direct counter against all CSK batsman which makes him a wicket-taking threat. His recent form this tournament is just terrific with 12 wickets from 9 games.

Vice-Captaincy Picks –

S Smith – He has scored a total of 291 runs against CSK in his IPL career and he will certainly be tested against Jadeja who has dismissed him 6 times so far.

S Samson – Inconsistency is the best word to describe Samson who has been disappointing this season after the early promise. With his abilities, he should dominate CSK’s bowling attack but let’s wait and watch what he does.

Differential Pick –

S Gopal – His googlies have been found out largely this season with wickets hard to come by. But CSK’s batting unit have their own troubles against wrist-spin which can be exploited by Gopal.

CSK vs RR Dream11 Team Captain, Differential Picks

Team Composition Preferences –

1). All Rounders – Too much quality in this category and try to pick at least two from those available.
2). Batsman – Top-order batsmen are the key here and use the fantasy order to make your choices.
3). Bowlers – Give high preference to leg-spinners and hit-the-deck bowlers.
4). Wicket-Keeper – Three quality options available here and going with all three won’t be a bad option either.

Having more RR players in the CSK vs RR Dream11 Match Prediction team is preferable.
