Dream11 IPL 2020: CSK VS RR Preview, Probable XI, H2H, Fantasy XI and Match Prediction

Sharjah Cricket Stadium is all set to stage its first game of IPL 2020 as Chennai Super Kings will lock horns against Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday.

Chennai Super Kings have made a great start to the tournament after beating Mumbai Indians by 5 wickets on Saturday. They would be eying on their second win ahead of the game against Rajasthan Royals Faf du Plessis and Ambati Rayudu have started the tournament on a fantastic note. Both scored respective half-centuries and would look to continue their good run in the next game as well.

CSK would be hoping a better show from the openers, though. Both Watson and Vijay fell cheaply in the last game. Given the duo hasn’t played much cricket, lately, they are expected to come good in the coming games.

The scarcity of left-handers in the top order might make way of Sam Curran at the top of the order. The Southpaw came at a difficult time in the last game and played a fantastic cameo for the side. He would certainly be the guy to watch out for in the next game as well. On Bravo injury update, the all-rounder is likely to be unavailable for the next game, at least.

Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, will have a tough task in hand as they will be facing the most consistent side in IPL. Facing CSK in the absence of their two key players like Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler isn’t going to be easy for them.

The unavailability of Stokes and Buttler should make way for other overseas players like David Miller and Tom Curran in the eleven. The absence of Jos Buttler would also mean that Robin Uthappa is likely to open with Yashasvi Jaiswal, followed by Smith and Samson.

If RR fancy their chances against CSK, the middle order, comprising of David Miller, Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag has to come good on Tuesday.

Along with Jofra Archer, Jaydev Unadkat is likely to make into the eleven. Kartik Tyagi, who had a phenomenal Under-19 World Cup, would be hoping to make his debut as well.
