Chennai Super Kings have been absolutely dominant this season and despite qualifying for the playoffs, they would not take this game -lightly as now, MS Dhoni's side would eye a top-two finish. Rajasthan meanwhile, have to win to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Rajasthan Royals face an uphill task when they face Chennai Super Kings in match 47 of the Indian Premier League 2021 on Saturday, October 2. The match would be played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi and would begin at 7:30 pm IST (Indian Standard Time). Rajasthan Royals need a win at any cost from this match as they find themselves in the seventh spot on the points table with just eight points from 11 games. Nothing really has been very positive for them barring their miraculous win against Punjab Kings earlier in the UAE leg of IPL 2021. Despite captain Sanju Samson leading from the front, he has hardly received any support from his teammates as they now not just need to win all there matches but also hope that other results go their way.

The captain of a Dream11 Fantasy Team fetches double points while the vice-captain multiplies the points x1.5 times.

RR vs CSK, IPL 2011 Dream11 Fantasy Team Captain Pick: Ruturaj Gaikwad
The right-hander has been one of the most impressive players for Chennai Super Kings all season and has taken up his performance by a notch in the UAE leg of IPL 2021. From bailing his side out from a precarious position to providing good starts, Gaikwad has been a real find for the Chennai Super Kings. He has scored a total of 407 runs this season and with his consistency, it would be a good choice if he is picked as captain.
