CSK vs RR Live Score Updates of IPL 2024: Sanju Samson Wins Toss, Rajasthan Royals to Bat First

Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson won the toss and his side will bat first in this match against Chennai Super Kings.

Chennai Super Kings take on Rajasthan Royals in what is expected to be a fascinating encounter in IPL 2024. The reigning champions face a must-win situation if they are to stay alive in the race to make it to the IPL 2024 playoffs. Ruturaj Gaikwad and his men currently sit in the fourth spot on the IPL 2024 points table with six wins in 12 matches and are in need of winning both their remaining matches. But they face a stern test in the form of Rajasthan Royals, a side which has been in poor form of late but showed remarkable consistency earlier on, which has put them on the brink of qualification. Also, CSK would love to ensure that this match is not MS Dhoni's final appearance at the Chepauk. The former CSK captain is playing through pain and in all likelihood, will not be playing from next season onwards. IPL 2024 Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals Free Live Streaming Online on JioCinema: Get TV Channel Telecast Details of CSK vs RR T20 Cricket Match on Star Sports.

Rajasthan Royals on the other hand, would want to have that 'Q' next to their name at the end of this contest. Sanju Samson and his side were the first to touch the 16-point mark this season but have had some poor results since then. Despite sitting second on the points table, the team lacks momentum, and a win today can regain that for them and give the outfit a lot of confidence with the playoffs ahead. Rajasthan Royals lost their last two matches and would be more than keen to bounce back to winning ways. CSK vs RR IPL 2024 Preview: Likely Playing XIs, Key Battles, H2H and More About Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals Indian Premier League Season 17 Match 61 in Chennai.
