IPL 2021: RR vs CSK: Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy tips, Possible Playing 11, Match Prediction

Abu Dhabi, September 30: Rajasthan Royals are going through a turbulent passage after their latest defeat to Royal Challengers Bangalore. They are pushed down to seventh on the IPL 2021 points table with 8 points from 11 matches after that result.

They need to win the remaining three matches if they are to remain in contention for a play-off berth and even the maximum reachable 14 points will not guarantee them a place in the knockouts. But to get to that point, itself is a tough task as the Royals under Sanju Samson have been on a shaky ground in the last week or so, losing two matches in a row.

And on Saturday (October 2) they will have to face Chennai Super Kings, who are almost assured their presence in the knockouts, and Royals can only hope that CSK under MS Dhoni could be jaded a bit after the clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

A big part of it is down to the modest outings of all-rounder Chris Morris, and RR Director of Cricket Kumar Sangakkara admitted it too.

"Chris Morris did brilliantly for us in the first half and he has not done the job as we would have liked him to in the second half. He knows that and we know that. 50 runs from four overs, his last over was the last throw of the dice to try and get a wicket.

''We were well out of the game at that point. He has done well for us in certain parts and whoever we think of playing next will be the best person to come into the side to play against the opposition," said Sangakkara.

So, can RR engineer a turnaround against the formidable CSK? Go through MyKhel's Dream11, Possible Playing 11 and Match prediction details.

4. Match prediction

Chennai Super Kings have a good edge because under Dhoni they look a solid, confident unit throughout IPL 2021. On the other hand, Rajasthan looks a bit shaky and unsure of their combination, evident in their string of defeats during the last week after that close win over Punjab Kings.
