CSK vs RR, IPL 2023 match: Confirmed playing XI, Impact players, last-minute Dream11 tips

CSK vs RR: Chennai Super Kings will be battling out with the Rajasthan Royals in match 17 of the IPL 2023 at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Both teams are coming off convincing wins in their last matches against Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals and would like to continue the momentum forward. 

Chennai Super Kings led by MS Dhoni have a sublime record at Chepauk and it is very hard for the opposition team to beat them in their own den. CSK also won their last match against Mumbai Indians convincingly at Wankhede by seven wickets and they would like to continue the winning momentum. 

Chennai Super Kings' batting lineup has been one of the biggest strengths for them and players like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, and Ambati Rayudu have been consistently contributing with the bat. Bowling had been a problem for the Chennai franchise but the issue was seen addressed during the last match as they restricted MI to a first-innings total of 157/8 and spinner Ravindra Jadeja and Mitchell Santner bowled economically in the match and grabbed two-two wickets each. 

Rajasthan Royals on the other hand have seemed dependent on players like Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, and Shimron Hetmyer. The middle order is still a concern for the Royals and the team might address the issue ahead of the match against CSK.
