Rajasthan Royals will miss their key player Ben Stokes in first few matches of the tournament. The player has yet to reach the United Arab Emirates as his father is seriously ill at this moment. There is no clear idea when Ben Stokes will be able to join the franchise. The star English wicketkeeper Jos Buttler will be missing the first match as he is currently quarantined after not following the protocols.
Steve Smith might also miss the first match because of an injury. The team management might give him a bit of rest ahead of the long tournament. So, Rajasthan Royals will be dependent on the Indian players like Sanju Samson, Robin Uthappa and Shreyas Gopal. Yashavi Jaiswal should be another player to watch out for in this match.
On the other hand, CSK is one of the most balanced sides in this season. Their batting line up is very much deep and almost everyone can contribute with the bat. The inclusion of Sam Curran has certainly strengthened their squad. Piyush Chawla is trying hard to fill the place of Harbhajan Singh in this side. Ambati Rayudu has played a brilliant innings to seal the win for CSK in the previous match. Faf Du Plessis has also played a steady inning. Chennai Super Kings will expect to continue their winning run in the tournament with another victory against Rajasthan Royals.
