Match Preview:

Rajasthan Royals:

• In the 2020 edition of IPL, on paper, Rajasthan Royals has a very strong team and has a solid-top order with Steve Smith, Jos Buttler, Robin Uthappa, and David Miller.
•  The involvement of Ben Stokes is the league is still in doubt, but it is sure that he will not play in the few matches of Rajasthan Royals. Jos Buttler is persuing his quarantine period with his family, will miss the upcoming match of Royals. The absence of Buttler may be a massive setback for the team.
• Considering the bowling department of Royals, Shreyas Gopal is an experienced leg-spinner, while Sanju Samson is quite famous for his capability. Because of his fantastic performances, now all are waiting to see the young talent Yashasvi Jaiswal. Along with Riyan Parag, Yashasvi Jaiswal will be the one to watch out for.

Probable Playing XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler(wk), Sanju Samson, Steve Smith(c), Robin Uthappa, Riyan Parag, Tom Curran, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Jaydev Unadkat/Varun Aaron, Mayank Markande.

Chennai Super Kings:

• In the 1^st match of the tournament, the victory of Chennai Super Kings was an interesting story of two halves. In the first innings, CSK was looking under confident and unprepared but in the second half, they bounced back with extraordinary spells from Piyush Chawla and Sam Curran. Lungi Ngidi and Ravindra Jadeja also bounced back and took five wickets fantastically at the death overs and this turned the face of the match.
• Now, Faf du Plessis is the most suitable player to play at no.3. The struggle for the replacement of Suresh Raina to play at no.3 is no longer there.
• Most probably, in the upcoming match, we can see a change with Jagadeesan or Gaikwad in the place of Vijay. The fantastic performance of Sam Curran puts captain Dhoni in a tough decision to choose between Sam Curran and Dwayne Bravo.

Probable Playing XI: Murali Vijay, Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Ambati Rayudu, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, Deepak Chahar, Piyush Chawla, Lungi Ngidi.
