MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings will face Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals in a crucial Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match on Sunday, with both teams aiming to secure their place in the playoffs.
Chennai Super Kings, the defending champions, suffered a setback in their playoff hopes after losing to Gujarat Titans on Friday. CSK now needs to win their remaining games to qualify for the playoffs.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals are in a strong position to reach the playoffs, needing just one win from their remaining three matches. RR currently sits third in the IPL 2024 standings, two points behind Kolkata Knight Riders.
The match between CSK and RR will also be Dhoni's final home game of the IPL 2024 season. The former India captain has announced that he will retire from the IPL after the 2023 season.
RR will be looking to end their losing streak and secure their place in the playoffs. The Royals have lost their last two matches, including a defeat to Mumbai Indians on Friday.
CSK, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from their loss to Gujarat Titans and keep their playoff hopes alive. CSK has won six of their last ten matches.
The match between CSK and RR is expected to be a close contest. Both teams have quality players and will be determined to win.
CSK will be relying on their experienced players like Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ambati Rayudu to lead them to victory. RR, on the other hand, will be looking to their young players like Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Riyan Parag to make an impact.
