The team batting first will have to aim for a total of at least 180-190 runs to challenge the opposition.
Pitch and conditions
The Sawai Mansingh Stadium is known for its flat and hard wicket, which tends to offer assistance to the batsmen. The average first innings score at this venue is around 160-170 runs, and the chasing team has won most of the matches in IPL history at this venue. The pitch may also assist the spinners in the second innings, especially during the latter half of the tournament.
Players to keep an eye on…
RR Predicted playing XI:
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson(C), Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jason Holder, Trent Boult, Sandeep Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal
CSK Predicted playing XI:
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni(C), Matheesha Pathirana, Maheesh Theekshana, Tushar Deshpande
Devon Conway: Conway has been CSK’s trump card with big runs from the top of the order and the New Zealand opener has four fifties on the trot so far.
Jos Buttler: He had an ordinary couple of matches but on a batting belter, expect Buttler to step back into form, especially given that CSK do not have the new ball bowling quality of most other teams.
