Chennai Super Kings Vs Rajasthan Royals , Match no. 17 , IPL 2023
Despite being a bit inconsistent, the two big wins in 3 matches have propelled the Rajasthan Royals to the top of the points table, thanks to an excellent NRR. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler make up one of the best opening pairs in this season of the IPL and the duo has scored 2 half-centuries each. Sanju Samson has also been in good knick and making consistent runs. The form of Riyan Parag does remain a cause of concern for the team. Shimron Hetmeyer is at his explosive best toward the end of an inning, and he has found a good partner in the form of debutant Dhruv Jurel. Yuzvendra Chahal has been excellent with the ball and is the leading wicket-taker for the team. In tandem with Ravichandran Ashwin, Chahal can wreak havoc in the middle overs. Trent Boult will once again get the new ball duties along with Sandeep Sharma, while Jason Holder is likely to be the fifth bowler.
After having a forgettable outing in the previous season, the Chennai Super Kings seem to be back in form now as they have won 2 of the 3 matches played so farRuturaj Gaikwad is in sublime form for the Super Kings as he has scored 2 half-centuries in his 3 outings and is the second-highest run-getter of the tournament. Ajinkya Rahane, who was playing his first match of the season in the team’s latest fixture, started with a bang, scoring a blazing 61 runs. Rahane, along with Shivam Dube, and Ambati Rayudu makes up for a solid middle order, while MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja will play the role of a finisher.Sisanda Magala, who was brilliant with the new ball in South Africa’s recent series against the Netherlands, bowled well on his IPL debut in the last match, and we are expecting to see more of him in the upcoming games. Ravindra Jadeja and Mitchell Santner are likely to play an important role with the ball in this game.
