Match details
Fixture: Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals
Date & Time: May 20, 2025, 7:30 PM IST
Venue: Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi
RR Probable XI
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Sanju Samson (capt, wk), Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, Wanindu Hasaranga, Kwena Maphaka, Tushar Deshpande, Akash Madhwal, Fazalhaq Farooqi.
RR had a fantastic start to their chase in the last game against PBKS, thanks to openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi. They are expected to provide a similar start again when they face CSK.
Skipper Sanju Samson returned from an injury layoff in the last match and is likely to bat at number three. Riyan Parag will follow at number four, with Shimron Hetmyer and Dhruv Jurel next in line. Jurel played a brilliant knock in the previous game and will look to carry that momentum forward.
Wanindu Hasaranga will play as the spin-bowling all-rounder, while the pace attack will include Kwena Maphaka, Tushar Deshpande, Akash Madhwal, and Fazalhaq Farooqi. Shubham Dubey is most likely to be used as the impact substitute.
