Fantasy XI Tips: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) vs Rajasthan Royals (RR), Match 17, IPL 2023

Fantasy XI tips and guide for all the fans for the 17th match of IPL 2023 between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) to be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.

The team from the south, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will clash with the team from the north, Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match no. 17 of IPL 2023 on 12th April at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

The yellow army has put up two back-to-back winning performances after a defeat in their season opener against Gujarat Titans. MS Dhoni's team seems to have struck the perfect balance which went missing in the last edition. Although they still have a loophole to fix - their bowling department and especially, the pace department. The Pacers haven't been at their supreme best and the absence of Deepak Chahar for an unknown period has only increased the worries of the team. To add to it, Ben Stokes is recovering from an injury too and it remains to be seen if he is declared fit for their game against RR.

On the other hand, Sanju Samson-led RR have been spot on right from game 1. Out of the three games they have played thus far, RR have managed to seal two games in its favour. Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal have fired at the top followed by Sanju Samson's show in the middle order. To cap it off, Shimron Hetmyer has done the job for his team in the death overs on most occasions. On the bowling front, all the bowlers have bowled with a plan and struck wickets at regular intervals to keep a check on the opposition throughout the game.

When these two teams go head-on, it will be a mouth-watering contest. If RR wins this game, they will climb atop whereas if CSK wins, they will enter the top two.
