IPL 2025: Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals match preview, Dream 11 predictions, head-to-head

CSK vs RR, IPL 2025: Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings will take on 2008 inaugural edition champions Rajasthan Royals in a clash between already eliminated teams at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday.

CSK will be looking to end the season with back-to-back victories since this is their penultimate game of the year. The five-time champions only managed three victories in 12 games and spent much of the season in the bottom half of the table. The addition of youthful, talented players like Ayush Mhatre and Dewald Brevis, who have taken advantage of the few opportunities available, has been a plus, though.

In the meantime, RR is trying to save their pride by playing their final game of the edition. The Sanju Samson-led team has to win one last game, especially for their fans, after losing to the Punjab Kings. Notably, the Royals prevailed in their previous meeting between these two teams, and they intend to repeat that victory.

IPL 2025, CSK vs RR: What to expect?

The Kotla track is expected to have a slower pitch, which will benefit spinners because of its areas of grass and dry surface. Although spinners may be used as the pitch grips, the average first-inning score of 216 over the last ten games suggests a respectable batting track. Later in the evening, dew is probably going to be crucial, so the captain who won the toss is expected to bowl first.

Rain is not expected during the CSK vs RR game in Delhi.  A minimum of 31 degrees and a maximum of 41 degrees are forecasted for the temperature.
