Rajasthan Royals will face off against defending champions Chennai Super Kings in the 68th match of IPL 2022 in an effort to qualify for the second position. With CSK already eliminated, they'll be playing with a free mind but also to finish off the otherwise disappointing season with a win.

RR vs CSK Match Preview:

Despite the Orange Cap holder and Rajasthan Royals' opener Jos Buttler's dismal last few outings, the Royals posted 178 runs on the board against Lucknow in their last match. This was done with a combined effort from young Yashasvi Jaiswal, captain Sanju Samson, Devdutt Padikkal and a few shots at the end from Riyan Parag, Jimmy Neesham, and Ravi Ashwin & Trent Boult. 

RR bowling has been arguably the most lethal bowling attack this season, comprising pacers Trent Boult & Prasidh Krishna and spinners Yuzvendra Chahal & R Ashwin. The re-inclusion of Obed McCoy has also been beneficial as the West Indian picked up 2 wickets against LSG.

Chennai Super Kings have managed only 4 wins in 13 matches so far and would be looking to finish the tournament off with a win. CSK batting showed a confusing approach in their last match against GT, becoming the first team ever in the IPL to not smack a single boundary in the death overs (16-20). Gaikwad was the top scorer with 53 runs in 49 deliveries, while N Jagadeesan remained not out on 39 from 33 deliveries. 

Mukesh Choudhary & Simarjeet Singh are leading the CSK pace attack well in the powerplay. CSK made changes to their playing in their last match against GT where Prashant Solanki & Matheesha Pathirana were handed their first match of the season. Pathirana impressed with a wicket on the first ball of his first IPL match and will be a player to look out for in tonight's match against RR, who have Pathirana's mentor Lasith Malinga as their bowling coach.
