CSK vs RR: Dream 11 prediction, probable playing XIs, H2H, injuries & more

After a demoralising 10-wicket defeat to Punjab Kings in their previous outing, Rajasthan Royals are now set to face Chennai Super Kings in their upcoming IPL 2025 clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday.

This encounter will also mark the first-ever IPL match at the venue not featuring Delhi Capitals as the home side.

All eyes will be on MS Dhoni, with speculation about his retirement swirling across social media. Although Chennai Super Kings are already out of playoff contention, Dhoni and his team will be eager to finish the season on a high note.

The match will also showcase a face-off between two promising young talents, Ayush Mhatre of CSK and Vaibhav Suryavanshi of RR. It remains to be seen whether Mhatre can outshine Suryavanshi in this much-anticipated clash. Mhatre has featured in five games so far, scoring 163 runs, including a half-century. Suryavanshi, meanwhile, has played six matches and accumulated 195 runs, with a highest score of 101.
