Rajasthan Royals Vs Chennai Super Kings, IPL 2025: Check out the RR vs CSK head-to-head stats, Probable XIs and Guwahati weather forecast.
Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings IPL Match Today: Both Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be looking to get back to winning ways after suffering defeats in their recent matches. While RR will be eager to jump from the bottom of the points table, CSK has a lot of thinking to do after losing to RCB at the Chepauk for the first time since 2008. RCB beat CSK by 50 runs, thus handing CSK its biggest defeat at home. While Khaleel Ahmed did extract some seam movement and even bounce from the pitch, overall, the CSK bowling lineup was no match for the bowling combination of Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. In the season opener, however, CSK beat MI convincingly by 4 wickets, with opener Rachina Ravindra scoring a match-winning inning of 65 runs (not out).
Meanwhile, RR lost its last match against KKR by 8 wickets. The RR batting lineup struggled against the bowling of Moeen Ali and Varun Chakravarthy, posting a target of 152 runs. RR could cross the 150-run mark only due to the late efforts by Dhruv Jurel (33 runs off 28 balls) and Jofra Archer (16 runs off 7 balls). In the first match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), RR fell short by 44 runs after SRH posted a mammoth total of 286 runs.
