CSK face a tough task today in the form of Rajasthan Royals, who look to return to winning ways tonight in Jaipur. Having the second-best home win record, Ajinkya Rahane has made Sawai Mansingh Stadium RR’s fortress and will hope to keep it the same way.

Tonight’s match also provides an excellent opportunity for Sanju Samson to get back his touch and in turn, support Rahane, Smith from the middle order. While, CSK needs their middle order of Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayadu and Kedar Jadhav to up their game and ease some pressure on their in-form skipper MS Dhoni.
