It’s Rajstan Royals’ time to take on Chennai Super Kings at their home, Jaipur. RR won against CSK in the Chennai Lions’ den in their first leg of the tournament. This time, CSK is in a different phase, with the team equations working out well in every game as the tournament progresses. On the other hand, RR has lost two consecutive games, and they lost their first home game here against LSG too. So, they are the urge to win this game at home.

Venue: Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur
Pitch Report
It is a slow wicket, which will put more pressure on the batters. Fast bowlers may find it good to bowl as the ball won’t be easily predicted by the batters. Spinners who bowl slowly will gain the advantage as the ground has bigger boundaries.
What to Expect?
This game will be a test of character for both teams, as the conditions at this venue are completely different from that of other venues. What makes it more fascinating is to look at how MSD will use his bowlers and fielders in these conditions.

Fantasy Picks for the RR vs CSK Match
Captain: R Ashwin
Ashwin knows the conditions really well. It’s a big ground and the batters need to rely more on timing. So Ashwin is definitely a great asset for RR. Also with the batting, he is able to make what the team needed.
Vice Captain: D Padikkal
Padikkal has got his touch back with the Banglore game. He is very good against spin and that will make him more eligible to make a mark against CSK.
Batsmen: Padikkal, Rahane, D Jurel
Rahane is an excellent player of spin bowling. Considering his form, he is definitely our prime pick.
D Jurel’s role in the RR team is to make runs at the death overs. So the conditions won’t be a bigger problem for him. He just needs to hit the ball with perfect connections.
Wicketkeepers: Samson, Buttler, D Conway
Conway is in a special touch here. He has adapted to the Indian conditions pretty well now and his skillset is paying him off with runs.
Samson and Buttler are the must-to-go with the way they are playing lately in this tournament. They can be the match winner on any day.
All rounders: Jadeja, Ashwin, M Ali
M Ali will have a good time with the ball as RR has three lefties in their batting line up.
Jadeja had been great with the ball in the last game, which was almost the same conditions of Jaipur ground.
Bowlers: Sandeep, Deshpande
Both the pacers are good at the areas they bowled so far in this tournament. If they were able to make that again in this game, it will be really tough for the batters to handle them.
