Analysis
The captain Ruturaj Gaikwad is in great form for Chennai Super Kings at the top of the order, batting long most of the times, allowing the rest of the batting order to play around him in the IPL 2024. Tushar Deshpande has had a major impact on CSK’s bowling fortunes in the last couple of matches, in the absence of Matheesha Pathirana and Mustafizur Rahman, picking up a bulk of wickets against PBKS during their home and away matches.
On the other side, the Rajasthan Royals captain, Sanju Samson, has been the top scorer for the franchise in the IPL 2024, while the likes of Riyan Parag, Jos Buttler, and Yashasvi Jaiswal have done quite well for them on certain occasions with the bat too. The three wickets for Ravichandran Ashwin against DC is a welcome sign for RR, who haven’t had their spinners perform well in the last few IPL matches unlike their fast bowlers.
