CHE vs RR match of the IPL 2024 will take place on Sunday afternoon at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

A massive contest is scheduled to take place on Sunday afternoon in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. This will be played between two top contenders in the tournament. The defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.

CSK lost their last game, which has put them in a must-win contest now. They somehow need this win. Meanwhile, RR have 16 points, but they lost two consecutive matches. A win here can help them go into the playoffs. So the team that loses here will surely have an impact here.

CSK vs RR: Head-to-Head

Rajasthan Royals beat Chennai Super Kings last time when these two teams played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. RR and CSK have played 28 games against each other so far and CSK have won 15 while RR have 13 wins.

CSK vs RR: Top five player battles to watch out for

1. Ruturaj Gaikwad vs Trent Boult

Ruturaj Gaikwad has been the best batter for CSK this season and has scored the second-most runs in the tournament. He will have a lot of responsibility on his shoulders, and his performance will matter a lot. But he will have to face Trent Boult, who has always troubled him. Boult has bowled 24 balls to Gaikwad, conceded 22 runs at a strike rate of 91.7, and dismissed him three times.

2. Shivam Dube vs Ravi Ashwin

Shivam Dube will be a massive wicket in the game because if the pitch is slow, then Dube’s role and impact will be massive in the game. If he gets set, CSK will be up and running. He will target RR’s spinners. But it is to be seen if he can hit Ravi Ashwin, who has brilliant numbers against left-handers. That will be a great matchup. Ashwin has dismissed Dube once in the IPL in 17 balls and conceded 28 balls.

3. Jos Buttler vs Shardul Thakur

Jos Buttler has been calm in the last few games, but a big innings is due from him, and RR will hope that he can deliver in this game to take the team to the playoffs. CSK knows the threat from Buttler. He has also scored two centuries this season. Shardul Thakur has good numbers against him. Shardul has dismissed him three times in international cricket. In the IPL, Shardul has dismissed Buttler twice, but the batter has scored 68 runs off 48 balls.

4. Sanju Samson vs Ravindra Jadeja

Sanju Samson is a very dangerous batter when the team is in trouble. Samson has brilliant numbers this season, and he is in red-hot form. However, he will have to score runs in the middle phase against Ravindra Jadeja. The CSK star has dismissed Samson three times in the IPL, while Samson has scored 73 runs off 52 balls.

5. Yashasvi Jaiswal vs Tushar Deshpande

Yashasvi Jaiswal will also be a big wicket in the game. The left-hander has been in good form in the last few games since he slammed a century against MI. Jaiswal will look to perform against the defending champions, which will skyrocket his confidence. But it will be difficult with the new ball. Tushar Deshpande has done well against him. The CSK pacer has dismissed him twice already in just nine balls and given away 14 runs.
