ESPNcricinfo IPL Fantasy League guide: Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals
The current season of Indian Premiere League (IPL) is all set to deliver a heavy dose of thrilling action in a few hours, as the mighty yet somewhat shaky Chennai Super Kings are ready to take on the Rajasthan Royals at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Both the teams will be fighting for the top spot on the points table, thus making the match even more interesting.
Chennai Super Kings have been impressive so far in the competition, though their top-order, with the obvious exception of Michael Hussey, has struggled to deliver. Murali Vijay and Suresh Raina have gotten a few threatening starts, but failed to convert
them into impactful innings. It has mainly been Hussey, skipper MS Dhoni and ‘Sir’ Ravindra Jadeja who have steered the team to victory on multiple occasions.
Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, have had a few problems of their own. They have relied a lot of their opening stands, though Brad Hodge has been a force in the middle. The return of Shane Watson in the team has made the team look far more threatening,
but the feisty all-rounder is yet to show consistency.
The ESPNcricinfo IPL Fantasy League enthusiasts would be wondering about the best possible team for today’s match.
Since the match is being played in Chennai, a place where the men in yellow are far more daunting than they are in any other battleground in India, it is only natural to expect some brilliant performances from them. When one talks about performance, the
first name that comes to mind is Hussey, Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo. While Hussey and Bravo have established themselves as match winners a long time ago, Jadeja has joined the last after getting Chennai Super Kings home after it nearly sank in defeat. Having
all three players in your team can come in real handy today.
From the Rajasthan Royals’ side, Watson and Ajinkya Rahane are two of the best men in the team’s line-up. Of course Rahul Dravid is in a great form as well, but one can never be sure if he is going to come out to bad at all, a strong possibility because
of the deadly openers that the team have.
As for the bowlers, Ravichandran Ashwin and Chris Morris from Chennai have proven to be a handful so far in the competition so far, while James Faulkner have been the man with the golden arm for Rajasthan Royals. All three of them have an equal chance of
making a huge impact in the game tonight.
