Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are once again set to face Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the 62nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
As per the original schedule, CSK was supposed to host RR at Chepauk. After the league’s suspension, the match between the Super Kings and Royals, according to the revised schedule, was relocated to the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi due to the heavy rains in South India.
Both Chennai and Rajasthan have been officially eliminated from the playoff race a few weeks back. Still, CSK will aim to secure a memorable victory in their penultimate clash to avoid concluding the 18th season at the bottom position of the points table.
This is the second instance these two teams will meet each other this season, as RR earlier triumphed over CSK at home by 6 runs. However, it’s a payback game for the five-time champions under MS Dhoni’s captaincy to improve their performance in the concluding phases of the league stages.
