Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals will clash in the 37th match of IPL-2020 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Monday (October 19). This will be the 23rd encounter between the two sides, with Chennai Super Kings holding a 14-8 head-to-head advantage from their previously clashes against each other. Going into the match, RR faced back-to-back defeats in the tournament and will be hoping to bounce back with a win.

Speaking about Chennai Super Kings, MS Dhoni's side has been fairly poor this season and have lost six of the first nine games of IPL 2020, winning just 3 of them. During the previous encounter between the two sides, Rajasthan Royals defeated CSK by 16 runs at Sharjah after a tremendous batting display from their batting unit.

Both sides have an identical record in the tournament so far and are desperate for a win to go up in the league standings.

Team News

Dwayne Bravo had suffered an injuring during CSK's last match against DC and it might force Dhoni to make a few changes to his playing 11. RR has found a fine-tune in their batting line up it seems from their last match but Steven Smith will be worried about their bowling unit after RCB managed to come back from an impossible position to win the match during RR's last match in IPL 2020.

Probable 11s

Chennai Super Kings - Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Faf du Plessis, MS Dhoni (C)(WK), Sam Curran, Kedar Jadhav, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Piyush Chawla, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar.

Rajasthan Royals - Jos Buttler (wk), Yashasvi Jaiswal/Robin Uthappa, Sanju Samson, Steve Smith (C), Riyan Parag. Mahipal Lomror, Tom Curran, Rahul Tewatia, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Jaydev Unadkat/Varun Aaron.
