Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals Dream11 Team Prediction, Match Preview, Fantasy Cricket Hints: Captain, Probable Playing 11s, Team News; Injury Updates For CSK vs RR Indian Premier League 2025 in Arun Jaitley Stadium New Delhi 730pm May 20
It is a battled to avoid being the ‘wooden-spooners’ of the IPL 2025 edition as bottom-placed Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals will face off in match no. 62 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Tuesday. Both teams have six point each but MS Dhoni’s CSK have a couple of games in hand to finish ahead of Sanju Samson-led RR.
For the Rajasthan Royals, it will be an end of a forgettable 2025 campaign, whose only silver lining has been the emergence of teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi. His explosive performances forced the cricketing world to sit up and take notice. On Tuesday, it will be a clash between the youngest IPL star against the veteran Dhoni.
Poor choices at the auction, particularly in the bowling department, hurt the Jaipur-based franchise the most. A misfiring middle order only compounded their troubles. Their ninth-place standing in a 10-team league reflects a season marked by underwhelming bowling performances and an over-reliance on the top order.
Letting go of Jos Buttler and failing to get any meaningful returns from Jofra Archer left the Royals with serious gaps. Their biggest shortcoming, however, was the absence of a top-tier Indian bowler who could consistently put the opposition under pressure.
There were moments of promise—like their 70-run powerplay blitz against Punjab Kings—but such starts rarely translated into wins. That inconsistency has defined their campaign.
Chennai Super Kings, too, have endured a rough season. Their strategy of banking on experienced names backfired badly. Rahul Tripathi and Deepak Hooda, despite their India credentials, failed to deliver under pressure.
The rebuilding phase has begun, with fresh faces like Ayush Mhatre, Shaik Rasheed, and Urvil Patel offering glimpses of promise. Mhatre, just 20, nearly scored a century against RCB and impressed in outings against SRH and MI. Patel, a late addition, showed spark with a quickfire cameo against KKR—setting the stage for what’s to come next season.
Losing captain Ruturaj Gaikwad mid-season dealt a further blow. Even the return of MS Dhoni at the helm couldn’t reverse the tide given the team’s limitations.
