On Wednesday, the Chennai Super Kings will face the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2023 match 17 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai (April 12). The game is set to begin at 7:30 p.m. IST.
CSK, captained by Mahendra Singh Dhoni, and RR, led by Sanju Samson, will try to build on their recent victories against the Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals, respectively.
CSK and RR have comparable records going into Wednesday’s match. CSK, who lost their season opener by 5 wickets to reigning champions Gujarat Titans, rebounded back with 12-run wins over Lucknow Super Giants and a 7-wicket triumph against MI.
RR, on the other side, won their first match by 72 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad before losing to Punjab Kings by 5 runs. They, on the other hand, returned to winning ways with a 57-run triumph against DC.
This will be the 27th IPL meeting between the two teams, with CSK holding a substantial edge, having won 15 of their previous 26 matches versus RR, who had won 11. In the IPL 2022, RR defeated CSK in the only meeting.
The two teams will meet for the eighth time in Chennai, where the four-time champions CSK has won six times and the inaugural champions RR has won only once, in 2008, when they defeated CSK to win the title.
