IPL 2024 – Match 61, CSK vs RR: Top 3 Players You Can Pick In Your Dream11 Fantasy Team As Captain & Vice-Captain

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 is nearing its conclusion, with the first intriguing encounter of the penultimate weekend due to take place at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The defending champions Chennai Super Kings will face the Rajasthan Royals in a must-win game.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) suffered a shocking defeat as they fell to Gujarat Titans away from home. Gill and Sai’s stellar century was the reason CSK were taken aback by GT’s performance. One more loss will have serious consequences for the defending champions, who have been inconsistent in their recent games.

Rajasthan Royals (RR), who were in excellent form at the start of the season, have seen their recent matches on the receiving end. Sanju Samson’s side has lost two games in a row, causing them to lose their lead at the top of the table. While the Royals will not be eliminated from the playoffs, there is a significant chance they will lose their status in the top two if they lose their third consecutive game.

Chennai Super Kings will be led by Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rajasthan Royals will be led by Sanju Samson. Both captains have carried the bat for their teams.

Rajasthan Royals defeated CSK when both teams last met in the tournament. Breaching CSK’s fortress is very tough but this season teams have shown that it has been possible. LSG and PBKS defeated CSK in their home.

Punt players to look out for:

• Ravichandran Ashwin (RR)
• Simarjeet Singh (CSK)
