CSK vs RR Head-to-Head Record
Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals are two of the most entertaining teams in the Indian Premier League, producing many thrilling encounters for fans over time, including their 2008 IPL final showdown in New Delhi on Tuesday.
Both have struggled this season but their young top orders such as Dewald Brevis, Ayush Mhatre, Urvil Patel, and Vaibhav Suryavanshi have provided both teams with hope for the future.
CSK currently enjoys an edge over Rajasthan Royals when it comes to head-to-head records at MA Chidambaram Stadium, having won 17 out of 30 IPL matches at that venue. Conversely, CSK have only managed 14 wins out of 31 IPL matches played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
At ACA Stadium in Guwahati, RR beat CSK by six runs. Nitish Rana shone for RR with an astonishing 81 off 36 balls; Jofra Archer bowled an economical powerplay spell and Wanindu Hasaranga took four wickets off CSK middle order with ease; even with late collapse occurring late, they managed to win with six wickets left in hand.
The match will be an absolute must-win game for both sides – The Royals have already qualified for the playoff stages while the Super Kings still need one more win to boost their chances of qualifying, and so this contest should produce high scoring action and an exciting showdown between rival sides.

CSK batsmen have also struggled this season and need to improve. Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s side is missing key players such as Ambati Rayudu, Shane Watson and Suresh Raina who don’t feature for India; replacing these key figures would be challenging.
The Royals’ bowling unit has struggled all season long, yet managed to contain CSK during their most recent meeting. Munaf Patel and Sohail Tanvir both picked up one wicket each, as the Royals limited CSK to just 109 runs in their innings.

CSK vs RR Match Prediction
Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals will face each other in what appears to be an inevitable dead rubber, with both teams having already eliminated themselves from playoff contention. The match will begin at 7:30 PM IST at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
MS Dhoni and his side are currently struggling at the bottom of the table with only three wins out of 12 matches played, while Royal Challengers stand just ahead with four victories and nine defeats – both sides looking for some kind of pride-restoration victory in this matchup.
Chennai have struggled all season to put together an effective team despite possessing many quality players, mostly due to an inability to close out tight games and poor bowling performances. They have seen some improvement recently and hope that they can end their campaign on a high note.
A win for the defending champions would guarantee them one more win in their last two matches, giving them a higher-than-four finish. They’ll be looking to recover after last week’s disappointing defeat against Punjab Kings.
Indian Premier League 2025’s 62nd match will showcase two of its most exciting teams. Originally scheduled to take place on May 12 due to adverse weather conditions in Chennai, this game has now been postponed until May 20 and should produce high scoring fireworks!
The spinners will be the determining factor in this clash. Both Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) boast impressive spinners in their squads, but against such formidable opposition, they must step up their performance.
Ayush Mhatre and Devon Conway may share new ball duties for Chennai while Ravichandran Ashwin may lead their attack for Rajasthan Royals; both bowlers have averaged over 30 wickets this season but must improve consistency to face CSK effectively.

MS Dhoni will hope Ayush Mhatre and Shaik Rasheed continue their impressive form at the top of the order, while their middle order must notch up some exceptional performances after recent underwhelming showings from Dhruv Jurel, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer as part of an imposing batting unit that also includes Shubham Dubey and Wanindu Hasaranga as vital cogs in.
Rajasthan Royals have been led brilliantly by teenage opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who has scored four half-centuries during his debut season.
