MS Dhoni will be leading the Chennai Super Kings for a landmark 200th time, when he leads the team out against Rajasthan Royals.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 match. The two teams featured in the final of the opening edition of the cash-rich league. They will now be taking on each other for the 24th time. CSK led by MS Dhoni, returned to winning ways in their most recent league match, defeating Punjab Kings (PBKS) by six wickets. They will look to build on that success. RR on the other hand defeated Delhi Capitals (DC) in their last game thanks to a Chris Morris blitz. We could expect some fiery moments when these teams meet, as they have a mix of seasoned and young stars.
