RR vs CSK Match Toss Prediction
32 of the 48 IPL matches at this venue have been won by the team batting second and we expect both captains to choose to field first if they win the toss in this game.
This is not one of the higher scoring pitches in this year’s IPL and whoever bats first will be pleased with a total over 170. Expect the ball to grip for the spinners.
The stadium has hosted 48 IPL matches so far out of which 32 were won by the chasing team but we have seen the opposite result in the first match. As mentioned the pitch will favour the spinners and the host team has a good bunch of them.
Jaipur Weather Report
The conditions are not expected to change much across this game with the temperature in the high 20s and the humidity levels at 50% throughout.

RR Team News & Playing 11
RR Team News
The Royals have tried not to complicate their selections during this campaign and have also seemed reluctant to use their impact players at times. There are no major injuries in the squad and we expect Sanju Samson to name an unchanged XI in this game.
RR Key Players
- Jos Buttler - The right-handed Englishman has made two ducks from his last three innings but is still one of the most feared openers in the competition.
- Devdutt Padikkal - The 22 year old left-hander had been making starts in his innings but kicked on to make his first half-century of the IPL 2023 on Sunday.
- Trent Boult - The left arm pace bowler dismissed Virat Kohli with the first ball of the game in the last match and has been performing to a very high standard throughout the tournament.
- Yuzvendra Chahal - Chahal has picked 12 wickets in 7 matches so far and we are expecting him to fetch a few more in this match. He has an impressive average of 18.83 this season.
RR Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Donavon Ferreira, M Ashwin, Akash Vasisht, KM Asif, Abdul Basith
All-rounder Abdul Basith came into the team as an impact player in the last game and could well be the player they turn to again here. Asif used to play for Chennai Super Kings and would relish the chance to come in against them.
RR Team Form
After topping the table a week ago, Rajasthan Royals have lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants in their last two games.

CSK Team News & Playing 11
CSK Team News
Ben Stokes continues to be on the sidelines with injury and there was news last week that he is likely to be out for another couple of games. However, he may struggle to get back into this team which is performing particularly well with the bat.
CSK Key Players
- Devon Conway - The left-handed opener continues to pile on the runs with his confidence growing in every innings. He is looking for his fifth successive half-century in this match.
- Ajinkya Rahane - The experienced right-handed batter is having a fantastic tournament and hit 71 not out from 29 balls in the win over Kolkata Knight Riders.
- Tushar Deshpande - Only three bowlers have taken more wickets than the right arm pacer. He is averaging a wicket every 12.66 balls in this tournament.
- Ravindra Jadeja - Jadeja hasn’t scored much with the bat this season but picked 10 wickets in 7 matches. We are expecting him to be a key player for this match and he can be a crucial spinner on this track.
CSK Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Akash Singh, Dwaine Pretorius, Shaik Rasheed, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Subhranshu Senapati
Rajvardhan Hangargekar is a tall and young pace bowler who could cause plenty of problems on this pitch. Subhranshu Senapati is a batting option if required for the side.
CSK Team Form
The Super Kings are playing some excellent cricket and are looking to target their fourth successive victory of the tournament.
CSK Predicted Playing 11
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (c) (wk), Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu, Matheesha Pathirana, Tushar Deshpande, Maheesh Theekshana

🏆 RR vs CSK Prediction
This looks like being a very entertaining game with some of the best T20 players in the world on show. Rajasthan Royals need to get a win on the board again but they are up against the strongest team in the tournament so far. We expect the likes of Jos Buttler, Yuzvendra Chahal and Trent Boult to put in very good performances and inspire the Royals to a victory over top of the table Chennai Super Kings.
