As the battle for the top four spots heats up, Rajasthan Royals (RR) will host table-toppers Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The Royals have had a roller-coaster ride as they win one and then lose again. They are lacking the desired consistency. Except for Englishman Jos Buttler, every single one in the team has disappointed including his countryman Ben Stokes, who was the biggest buy this season. However, now coming up against CSK, skipper Ajinkya Rahane, Sanju Samson, Ben Stokes need to step up and contribute. Here is the probable dream XI for the Royals:
RR: Jos Buttler, Ajinkya Rahane, Sanju Samson, Ben Stokes, Stuart Binny, Mahipal Lomror, Jofra Archer, Krishnappa Gowtham, Jaydev Unadkat, Ish Sodhi, Anureet Singh
On the other hand, CSK is coming into the tournament with six-day rest after a win against Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers. CSK obviously have fewer problems to address, as they have found match-winners regularly. CSK now need 2 wins to fully secure the playoff berth. CSK have been excellent throughout the season with skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni in roaring form. Here is the probable Dream XI for the Super Kings:
CSK: Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni, Dhruv Shorey, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, David Willey, Harbhajan Singh, Lungi Ngidi, Karn Sharma
