CSK vs RR Match Preview: Will Rajasthan Royals Knockout Defending Champions

CSK vs RR Match Preview For TATA IPL 2024 Match 61st

The season so far has been an uphill task for CSK under their new skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, the defending champions are left with a daunting task of must-win games in order to make it into the playoffs of this edition. However, with a big challenge ahead they will be facing this edition’s star performers Rajasthan Royals in Chepauk. 

It has been a good season for the Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals in this TATA IPL 2024 and if Sanju can guide RR to finals this season then it will be his second time in IPL final in three years. However, it is a little early for this kind of expectation as the road ahead is a little tough and long.

CSK vs RR Who Will Win?

Can the Sanju Samson-led side silence the Chepauk crowd or will the new skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad save their team from getting knocked out of playoff race in this edition of the IPL? Being the defending champions CSK has a lot of pressure to at least make it to the playoffs this seasonhowever with matches against tough teams CSK has to be on point with plans in order to get a place in the top four.

While RR needs this victory to guarantee their spot in the top two, CSK has to win this game to remain in the race for the playoffs. The game has huge stakes and that’s why we think Chennai Super Kings, the host will win. Although the odds seem to favor RR, we still think CSK will win this game given the circumstances and previous results.
