CSK vs RR IPL 2024 Match Preview – Match 61
Chennai Super Kings
The five-time champions are brimming with confidence ahead of this match following a convincing victory against the Punjab Kings. CSK’s captain, Ruturaj Gaikwad, has been exceptional, particularly in recent matches.
Heading into this game, the team will be missing three of their key bowlers: Mustafizur Rahman, Matheesha Pathirana, and Deepak Chahar. It will be interesting to see how they cope with their absence and modify their strategy accordingly.
In contrast, Ravindra Jadeja has consistently delivered an economical performance but has struggled to take wickets, managing only eight in 11 games. However, his stellar all-around display against the Punjab Kings is expected to uplift his confidence for the forthcoming match.

Shardul Thakur, Shivam Dube, Tushar Deshpande, Daryl Mitchell, Richard Gleeson, Ruturaj Gaikwad (C), Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, Mitchell Santner, MS Dhoni (WK), Sameer Rizvi
Rajasthan Royals
In the clash between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday, Rajasthan lost despite a formidable innings from Rajasthan Royals’ skipper, Sanju Samson.
Opting to bat first, DC posted a total of 221 for eight, before restricting the Royals to 201 for eight.
Despite Samson’s brilliant 86 off 46 balls, none of his teammates managed to provide significant support, with no one else scoring more than 27. This resulted in the Royals suffering their second consecutive defeat.
Rovman Powell and Shubman Dubey fought hard with some big hits, but ultimately, it wasn’t enough for the Royals to overcome the challenge as DC secured its sixth win of the tournament.
