It has not been a great season for the Chennai Super Kings in this year’s Indian Premier League. They have struggled big time and had a change of captai8ncy in the middle of the league as well. Now in their last game, which might also be the last game of Dhoni if only we can guess his next move, because he is the brand ambassador of ‘Don’t let them know your next move’ as far as life is concerned.
So assuming it is the last game of Dhoni, he would want to finish with a win and even if it is not, winning is his way of life and has been CSK’s motto too. So when they face the Rajasthan Royals, they would want to win the match on May 20, 2022, at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.
On the other hand, for Rajasthan, it is an opportunity to seal their place in the top two of the league table and get an extra shot at making it to the final. A victory in this game would take Sanju Samson and his team to the second position in Points Table. Thus, they would also be going with all their might in this game to try and win it.
Here's how the Playing 11 of RR vs CSK would look like
With Shimron Hetmyer back and available, he would come into the Playing 11 straight away in place of Jimmy Neesham. The Royals would also hope that Obed McCoy has recovered from the strain that he got in the last game against Lucknow Super Giants. If he is not fit then Kuldeep Sen would be back at his place in the side.
As for Chennai Super Kings, they tried new faces in their last game so it is only fair to assume that they would want the new players to get one more game before they start thinking about the combinations for the next season.
RR Predicted Playing 11
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal, Obed McCoy
CSK Predicted Playing 11
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Robin Uthappa, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Mitchell Santner, Prashant Solanki, Matheesha Pathirana, Mukesh Choudhary
