IPL Match 2024, Chennai Super Kings vs. Rajasthan Royals Is this going to be MS Dhoni’s final IPL game played at home? Even though Dhoni battled a significant knee injury last season and has been dealing with side strains and other discomforts this year, he has shown signs of returning to form. The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are in a difficult situation to qualify for the playoffs, though.
The best case scenario for CSK would be to win their next two games. However, they have limited time to prepare for their next matchup against one of the most powerful teams in recent memory. The Rajasthan Royals (RR) have been remarkably consistent since 2022, despite not having won a championship. In addition, they had a flawless record in their last four encounters with CSK. One of the main reasons RR has been so dominant has been their spinners, especially R Ashwin, who has a great understanding of Chepauk’s subtleties. Since the game is in the afternoon, spin may have the last say in how things go.
Even if Ruturaj Gaikwad did not have a big influence against Gujarat in the previous game, he is still very good in the IPL 2024. Gaikwad has been in incredible form, with 541 runs in 12 innings, including one century and four half-centuries, lagging just Virat Kohli in the race for the Orange Cap.
Sanju Samson, the captain of Rajasthan, demonstrated his batting prowess in a remarkable game against Delhi, scoring 86 runs off just 46 balls in their most recent meeting. With 471 runs in 11 innings, Samson leads the RR run-scoring rankings and is enjoying a fantastic season at the bat. His outstanding wicketkeeping abilities could also result in bonus points.
