However, Rajasthan are set to miss out on Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes for first game, with latter still in New Zealand to be with his far, who is suffering from brain cancer.

MS Dhoni pretty much had his team combination sorted in curtain-raiser of Dream11 IPL 2020. Veteran all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, who had to sit out in first game due to a niggle, could very well return for this fixture in place of Lungi Ngidi. Bravo could also replace Sam Curran, if t Ngidi, should Dhoni t opt for ar all-rounder in team with a similar skillset and batting position. Imran Tahir is ar option that Chennai captain might consider if re is eugh grass on pitch. However, with a batting paradise expected in Sharjah, Tahir could well see himself sitting out for ar game.

Likely playing 11: Murali Vijay, Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni (Captain & wicketkeeper), Kedar Jadhav, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, Deepak Chahar, Piyush Chawla.

Rajasthan skipper Steve Smith will be a key player for his side. former Australian captain was a part of national side that played T20I series against England. However, he only played 3 T20I matches and t ODIs. Perhaps a batting pitch in Sharjah could do wonders to his confidence. Ar player to watch out is former Kolkata man Robin Uthappa who has always loved playing against Chennai. Uthappa has scored 538 runs against Chennai at an aver of 31.64 and strike rate of 135.51. Among young guns, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag could be players to watch out for.
