IPL 2023: CSK's Ben Stokes, Deepak Chahar and RR's Adam Zampa. (Images: Twitter) IPL 2023: Rajasthan Royals (RR) are all set to take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 37th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur on Thursday, April 27th.
The Royals are in third place this season after winning four of their last seven games. They will be trying to get back to winning after losing their last two games. CSK, on the other hand are in first place in the points standings after winning five of their first seven games this season. They defeated Kolkata Knight Riders in this match, scoring the highest total of the season in the process.
The two teams have played each other twice this season, with Rajasthan winning the first meeting in Chennai. Fans should anticipate another exciting game tonight.
Here’s the tip-off ahead of the CSK vs RR
Stokes to miss out
England all-rounder Ben Stokes is set to miss out on yet another IPL 2023 match due to a heel injury he sustained. CSK Head Coach Stephen Fleming earlier provided an update on Stokes and said that he needs a few more days to recover and that the team is in no mood to rush. Stokes played the first two games of the season and has been on the sidelines since.
Deepak Chahar still unlikely
Another notable absentee for MS Dhoni’s Chennai this season is all-rounder Deepak Chahar. He sustained an injury and has been out since. It is understood that he will not take the field any time soon.
Adam Zampa to get a game
Adam Zampa participated in the match last two weeks versus CSK. Given how little the Royals have utilised Jason Holder’s all-around skills, the Australian legspinner may be able to rejoin the fray.
CSK vs RR Pitch Report: In Jaipur, it will be the second game of the year. The Royals were unable to reach their goal of 155 runs in the first game between LSG and RR. The field may result in a thrilling game with few chances. In the last five T20 matches played here, the first innings score has averaged 126 runs.
