CSK vs RR Match Preview

On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at 7:30 PM IST, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) will play their 62nd match of the TATA IPL 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Central Delhi. Since both teams are having trouble with their form, this game is essential to their chances of entering the playoffs.

With just one victory in their last five games, CSK has been going through a difficult time (WLLLL). Their campaign has suffered because to their inconsistency with the bat and the ball, even though they have seasoned all-rounders like Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, and Sam Curran.

RR is similarly in a bad spot, with a comparable downturn (LLWLL). Their bowling team has lacked bite at critical times, while captain Sanju Samson and opener Yashasvi Jaiswal have failed to turn strong starts into game-winning scores.

With both teams desperate to return to winning ways, this match promises to be a high-pressure battle in Delhi.
