CSK's spinners doing wonders at the Wankhede pitch. — Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) April 19, 2021 This is MS Dhoni's territory - spinners bowling in tandem, creating pressure and getting wickets. Brilliant from Jadeja and Moeen Brother. — Johns. (@CricCrazyJohns) April 19, 2021 Ravindra Jadeja is literally running around the whole ground, smiling like a kid while chasing the ball. How can someone be filled with so much energy and enthusiasm. — Heisenberg ☢ (@internetumpire) April 19, 2021 Amazing how what seems to be a good result can go against you. #RR were looking good at 79-2 in the 10th when Buttler hit Jadeja for 6. It meant the ball had to be changed and the drier ball caused havoc with Moeen and Jadeja. — Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) April 19, 2021 #RR's middle order continue to crumble! Two wickets in an over for Moeen Ali. Riyan Parag and Chris Morris depart.

Same team. Getting out on good deliveries is okay. Last year would have taught him (Ruturaj) on the highs and lows. As support staff, you can motivate all you want but one you are out there, you are on your own. The pitch looks a bit tacky to start with. Needs to assess things as it comes and also need to keep an eye out on the dew. Sanju Samson wins the toss and elected to bowl first.

(@ChennaiIPL) April 19, 2021 Although RR skipper Sanju Samson numbers against CSK are not amongst his best, however Samson enjoys facing the spin of Ravindra Jadeja. The two have met in 7 innings in the IPL and Samson has scored 62 runs off the 37 deliveries he has faced from Jadeja at a strike rate of 167.6. The CSK all-rounder has had a fair share of success against Sanju, dismissing him twice. The Chennai Super Kings will go up against the Rajasthan Royals in the 12th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League on Monday, April 19. Both teams - Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the Rajasthan Royals (RR) are high in confidence as they both won their last match. Talking about Rajasthan Royals, Sanju Samson has been handling his new role of captainship well as his side did not look under-confidence even when they lost their first match against the Punjab Kings. Royals got a massive blow when English all-rounder Ben Stokes was ruled out of the IPL 2021. However, South African David Miller filled his shoes as he looked in sublime touch against the Delhi Capitals. On the other hand, Chennai's Deepak Chahar, Moeen Ali, and Faf du Plessis is in fine form and will be looking to keep it straight and simple so that the CSK remains on the winning track. In terms of record, Chennai holds an edge over Rajasthan as the two teams have played 24 matches in the IPL, with CSK winning 14 matches and RR winning 10. The two teams have played 24 matches in the IPL, with CSK winning 14 matches and RR winning 10. Since 2015, both teams are neck and neck against each other winning 4 matches each. In their last clash in IPL 2020, the CSK innings never got going and as a result, the MS Dhoni-led side could only muster 125/5 in 20 overs. In reply, a Jos Buttler masterclass, where he made an unbeaten 70 in 48 balls, helped RR go past the line comfortably with 15 balls to spare. Chennai Super Kings (Probable XI): Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf Du Plessis, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni (C and WK), Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar Rajasthan Royals (Probable XI): Manan Vohra, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (C & WK), Riyan Parag, David Miller, Shivam Dube, Rahul Tewatia, Chris Morris, Jaydev Unadkat, Mustafizur Rahman, Chetan Sakariya Dream XI Prediction: Sanju Samson (vc), Faf du Plessis (c), Jos Buttler, David Miller, Suresh Raina, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Chris Morris, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Chetan Sakariya The surface at the Wankhede Stadium is usually batting-friendly, but since the last couple of games, we have seen bowlers doing brilliantly here. It will be interesting to see how the track plays out in this game.
