CSK vs RR, IPL live cricket score: Chasing 142 was not easy for Chennai Super Kings as Royals put up a decent fight. Rachin Ravindra gave the hosts a good start but the spinners were able to show their quality and pull the game back in their favour. However, skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad anchored the chase and played some very smart knocks to get his team over the line and boost their chances of qualifying for the playoffs.
RR captain Sanju Samson correctly called the coin toss and decided to bat first against CSK. Dhruv Jhurel is back in RR. Mahish Teekshana replaces Mitchell Santner at CSK.
match preview
Chennai Super Kings could be fourth in the IPL 2024 points table, but the team is aware of various issues that could dampen their playoff hopes. They have been battling injuries to several players, and some of the hitters who were active in the first half of the season have declined in form. The battle for the playoffs is heating up, with Kolkata Knight Riders securing first place and the remaining three spots up for grabs, but considering that CSK still has as many as seven teams aiming to grab them. I know I can't afford to make a single mistake.
Sanju Samson's side will be looking to tick that box and aim for a top-two finish as Rajasthan Royals will be guaranteed a place in the play-offs if they win today. RR has lost the last two games in a row and will be aiming for a comeback.
