As we have reached the final leg in the group stages of the Indian Premier League, the Rajasthan Royals take on the Chennai Super Kings in a dead-rubber on Tuesday. While the outcome of this match will have no bearing on the fortunes of both teams, we expect them to give 100% in this match as they try and end the season on a high.

Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Sam Curran, Rachin Ravindra, and Nathan Ellis are likely to be unavailable for selection in this match.
While the pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium this year has caused some trouble for the batsmen z we are expecting a good batting track here as the groundsmen have had plenty of time to prepare the surface. The team batting first will look to score around 180-190 runs. The pitch might slow down as the match progresses, and the spinners could get some help in the second innings.
There is no chance of rain, but dew might be a factor during the second innings.
Sanju Samson is our top pick as the wicket-keeper of our team. While he has missed quite a few games due to injuries, he has been pretty consistent with the bat in the matches that he has played. We are also picking up Dhruv Jurel.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi have been brilliant for the Rajasthan Royals and have made it to our team. We are also selecting Dewald Brevis as he has played well in a couple of games.
Ravindra Jadeja and Riyan Parag have performed well with the bat and the ball, and add balance to our team. We are also picking up Wanindu Hasaranga to fill in the slot for a slower bowler.
Picking up Noor Ahmad is a no-brainer as he has been CSK’s most successful bowler this year. We are picking up two seamers in the form of Tushar Deshpande and Khaleel Ahmed.
Yashasvi Jaiswal is our choice as the captain. He has been in good form with the bat and can play a big knock at the top of the order.
We are selecting Ravindra Jadeja as the vice-captain of our team. He has been one of CSK’s key players this season and has done well with the bat and the ball. His sharp fielding is a big bonus.
Since we are expecting a good batting surface for this match, we have picked up quite a few batsmen for our team. That said, we have also selected three all-rounders who add depth to the batting and are also good spin bowlers. The slower bowlers are likely to enjoy better success compared to the seamers, and we have therefore picked up only two fast bowlers.
Ravindra Jadeja has 529 points in the last 5 matches at an average of 105 points per game.
Yashasvi Jaiswal (523), Riyan Parag (390), Dhruv Jurel (302)
Noor Ahmad (20), Khaleel Ahmed (14), Matheesha Pathirana (12)
Riyan Parag (27), Yashasvi Jaiswal (26), Vaibhav Suryavanshi (20)
Vaibhav Suryavanshi (219.10), Ayush Mhatre (181.11), Riyan Parag (168.10)
Riyan Parag (8.00), Noor Ahmad (8.02), Ravindra Jadeja (8.52)
