Rajasthan Royals, who can very well be out of the playoffs race with even one loss, now find themselves hosting Chennai Super Kings at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. CSK have won seven of their ten matches and are just a win away from making it to the playoffs. The two teams who missed the IPL actions for the last two years will face each other in this clash.
Here are the five things to look forward to from the encounter.
1.The Returning Season
Both the teams, Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals did not feature in the IPL editions of 2016 & 2017. Both teams were found guilty on charges of corruption and had to face a suspension of two years. Afer the completion, the tainted pair shall now be again facing each other in the competition.
Incidentally, the first ever IPL final featured these two teams. Rajasthan won the IPL 2008 and since then they have never been seen in any IPL final. They have never gone for established cricketers, instead, they have always relied on underrated cricketers to deliver for them, This year, they broke the stereotype with huge spendings.
Chennai is almost confirmed to the playoffs while RR needs to win everything, the clash is set extremely well.
