CSK vs RR Playing 11, IPL 2025: Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals Predicted Lineups, Team News

CSK vs RR: Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, both sitting near the bottom of the points table, will face off with hopes of ending their IPL 2025 campaign on a positive note.

Rajasthan's season has been plagued by a range of issues-from their inability to chase down targets to an underperforming bowling unit and gaps in team composition.

While there were expectations that these problems could be addressed during the course of the tournament, a disappointing auction left them without the necessary depth in both their bowling attack and middle order to truly compete with the stronger sides in the league.

CSK vs RR Team News, Injury Update

The English pair, Sam Curran and Jamie Overton, have not rejoined the Chennai Super Kings squad in India after the IPL was put on hold. Meanwhile, there have been no fresh developments or changes reported in the Rajasthan Royals' squad since their previous match against the Punjab Kings on Sunday.

CSK vs RR Key Players

Sanju Samson has found it difficult to accelerate when facing the spin combination of R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. Even on a ground known for its shorter boundaries, the experienced spin pair could pose a significant challenge for the Royals' captain.

On the other hand, Ravindra Jadeja, who has been batting at No. 4 with a healthy strike rate of 145.83, has shown vulnerability against spin in recent seasons. Since 2020, his strike rate against spin has dipped to 102.9. Although Rajasthan Royals' spin attack hasn't been very effective this season, Riyan Parag's off-spin could serve as a useful option against the left-handed Jadeja.
