Despite missing a few first-choice key players due to injury, CSK looks all sorted as a unit and they will enter this match as favourites.
Rajasthan Royals will take on Chennai Super Kings in the 37th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League. Led by Sanju Samson, RR started their season with a win against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Batting first, the Royals posted a mammoth total of 203/5. Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Samson have done the bulk of the scoring for RR. Rajasthan’s bowling was n target right from the get-go, Trent Boult shaped the ball both ways and dented SRH’s top order, while Yuzvendra Chahal has been the pick of the bowlers. RR are coming into this game on the back of a loss and will be looking to re-gain the winning momentum.
On the other hand, CSK have had an excellent start to their IPL 2023 campaign. They are occupying the top position in the points table with five victories in seven games. Skipper MS Dhoni, has led the team from the front and all the players have responded to him brilliantly. So, despite missing a few first-choice key players due to injury, CSK looks all sorted as a unit and they will enter this match as favourites. This match promises to go down to the wire at the Sawai Mansing stadium in Jaipur.

The pitch at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati has traditionally supported spin bowling. This will be the first time an IPL match is going to played at this venue. The ball might do a little bit for the fast bowlers in the initial stages of the match as well, but it will get easier to bat as the match progresses. The batters need to get their eye in before going for the aggressive shots, they can take advantage of the short boundaries at this venue. The team winning the toss would be inclined to bowl first at this venue and chase the score down in the second innings with some dew expected.
