🏏IPL 2023: Match 17 - CSK vs RR on 12/04/23 at 7:30 PM IST 🏏 - Page 5

Chennai Super Kings

News: Maheesh Theekshana and Matheesha Pathirana have joined the squad ahead of the game. The former is likely to slot in straightaway. Ben Stokes and Deepak Chahar are set to remain on the sidelines but CSK will be boosted by Moeen Ali's availability.

Tactics and match-ups: Ruturaj Gaikwad had made a very good start to this year's IPL. However, his record against Trent Boult doesn't ooze confidence as he has been dismissed by the New Zealand seamer thrice in the space of 21 deliveries. CSK will have to ensure Boult's early threat is countered by his New Zealand teammate Devon Conway.

Rajasthan Royals

Tactics and matchups: CSK have the worst economy rate (11.44) in the powerplay this season. Royals have the ideal batter up top to take full toll of that in the form of Yashasvi Jaiswal. The young left-hander, quite incredibly, is striking close to 200 in the powerplay this season and that phase could well be the difference-maker if the track turns out to be slow.

Well

Akash Chopra bhaisahab hain predicted CSK will win 😭

Joh chuna Chahar and Stokes laga rahe hain CSK ko aaj tak kabhi kisine nahi kiya hain

&
CSK barely does well in Powerplay.

Did you know:

- Trent Boult has picked 19 wickets in the first over in IPL since 2020

- Since 2022, Maheesh Theekshana has picked 12 wickets at the death in T20s at an impressive economy rate of 7.33

What they said:

"He has got an incredibly bright future ahead of him. Just with more time in his game and development, 1-2 years is a long time when a player of his age is sort of developing so he is just getting better and better. I'm sure he has more levels he can climb as well. But he is playing with real clarity, with real confidence, has good shots all around the wicket. Enjoying getting to bat with him." - Jos Buttler on his young opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal
