CSK vs RR Live Score: Here’s what Ruturaj Gaikwad said at the toss

“Dew is not a factor, doesn’t matter if we bat or ball first. The pitch will remain the same throughout the game. In these conditions you need to prepare mentally. We spoke about the areas we need to improve. You need to be in a good head space and deliver what’s expected. We got the right balance, Rachin and I will open, Mitchell will bat at number 3. Theekshana comes in for Santner. Need to believe and back yourself. We want to win every game possible, you got to have the right mindset.”

CSK vs RR Live Score: Here’s what Sanju Samson said at the toss

“We would like to bat first. Looks like a decent wicket, don’t expect any dew. Change of conditions and weather, got time to adapt to it. Need to give it all in this game. Need to stick to what has worked for us. Need to do our basic processes, just taking care of the controllables. Need to perform as a batsman, results have to go your way to feel happy. Jurel is back.”

CSK vs RR Live Score: Toss

Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson won the toss and opted to bat against Chennai Super Kings in their IPL 2024 match on Sunday. 

CSK vs RR Live Score: Pitch report

“It’s hot, very hot at Chepauk. Temperature around 37 but feels like 47. The boundaries, 66m and 70m square and those aren’t too small, 79 is the straight hit. It’s a day game so you got to read the pitch well. Avg score here is 183. What will be critical firstly is the water content in this surface and that will determine how tricky this pitch is. There is no grass covering, it’s bare. The curator told me that it’s normal water content. Now the challenge really is how does he preserve that water content where it remains good for batting first and remains good for batting throughout the course of the game,” reckon Pommie Mbangwa and Daren Ganga. 

CSK vs RR Live Score: Here’s what Moeen Ali said before the toss

“Very crucial, I think every game is big, it’s a big opportunity. We need a win, had a bad last game. Hopefully we can get those two points today. Rajasthan are a top side. I think toss has been crucial in the night games, it has been difficult for the spinners due to the dew, has been difficult to grip the ball. Hopefully the wicket can spin today, I know they have two fantastic spinners, but that’s our strength too. As players we speak to him (Dhoni), it’s special to play with him. Need to take early wickets against RR, they bat deep. Think they have a really balanced side.”

CSK vs RR Live Score: Failure of CSK’s top order

What had hurt CSK against GT was the malfunction of their top-order consisting Ajinkya Rahane, Rachin Ravindra and skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and they would be desperate to regain the momentum in Chepauk. Ravindra might be given another go against Royals, but it could be a make-or-break situation for him. Although it was pleasing to see Daryl Mitchell and Moeen Ali among runs, Shivam Dube, who has been CSK’s bulwark this season, has gone silent ever since he was selected to the Indian team for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

CSK vs RR Live Score: Last game for Dhoni at Chepuak?

Amid all the speculations regarding his retirement from the IPL, it is highly likely that Chennai Super Kings’ legend MS Dhoni will bid adieu to the tournament after this season. The 42-year-old wicketkeeper-batter is battling numerous injuries and playing for CSK in the ongoing season. CSK take on Rajasthan Royals in their home game at Chepauk. If CSK fail to qualify for the Playoffs this season, this game can prove to be Dhoni’s last appearance at Chepauk. 

CSK vs RR Live Score: Crucial game for CSK

Chennai Super Kings are currently fourth in the standings with 12 points from as many games but the defeat against Gujarat Titans on Friday has added dollops of pressure on them, and now they need victory in their remaining two matches. The Royals, on the other hand, are second with 16 points but they are smarting from two successive defeats against Sunrisers Hyderabad, which was by just a run, and Delhi Capitals.
