CSK are currently at second spot with 14 points from 10 matches. Fleming said there were not much areas of concern for his team but it's a question of getting better each game and finding the right balance. Asked about the pitch at Sawai Mansingh Stadium which has been slow and low, Fleming said, "In the last couple of matches, this wicket had slow, low and variable pace. We have an-all round talent in our side suited to all type of conditions. We need to have the right combination to counter conditions." He said local player Deepak Chahar is recovering fast from his injury.

Chennai Super Kings need just one win from their remaining four matches to book a play-offs berth but head coach Stephen Fleming on Thursday said that his side will not be complacent when they take on Rajasthan Royals in their IPL match here on Friday.
"The teams (like Rajasthan Royals) which are in a situation where they have to win each game can be dangerous. We would be playing with full intensity. We know we are a couple of games ahead but we don't want to be in a situation where we need to scrape through in last games. We will not be complacent," Fleming said at pre-match press conference.

17:55(IST)

With 360 runs from 10 innings, Dhoni is placed seventh on the run-scorers list. Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja, who struggled against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), emerged with a match-winning figure of 3/18 -- in a major relief for the team management.  The pace attack will once again feature Lungi Ngidi, David Willey and Shardul Thakur. Depending on their terrific form, Chennai will once again be the favourites in Friday's clash, though a desperate Rajasthan will look to come out all guns blazing.

17:44(IST)

On the other hand, another win for Chennai will cement their place in the play-offs. The southern outfit is in red-hot form this season after seven wins from 10 games and will look to consolidate their position in the top two.  Chennai batters are in top form however, death-over bowling still remains a concern.  Most of the batsmen -- Ambati Rayudu, Australian Shane Watson, West Indian Dwayne Bravo, skipper Dhoni and Suresh Raina -- have contributed whenever the team needed. Rayudu has batted well both as an opener and at number four, amassing 423 runs from 10 games.

17:36(IST)

Rahane and Samson have been average while the inconsistent run of Ben Stokes has affected their performance this season. Stokes, the costliest buy in IPL auction 2018, has miserably failed to perform both with the bat and ball. Jos Buttler played a 58-ball 82 run knock to lift Rajasthan to 158 for eight against Punjab, a target which their bowlers defended. The English batsman has accumulated 320 runs from ten games averaging 35.55. Among the bowlers, young seamer Jofra Archer has done well to claim nine wickets from four matches while this IPL's costliest Indian buy Jaydev Unadkat has also been among the wickets. Spinner K. Gowtham, who has bagged eight wickets from ten matches, came out with an impressive performance in the last outing and will need to repeat the show as the Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led side has struggled against spinners this season.
