This is MS Dhoni's territory - spinners bowling in tandem, creating pressure and getting wickets. Brilliant from Jadeja and Moeen Brother.

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.

No changes for us. 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.

Morris has got Raina out four times in eight T20 innings and has also kept him quiet - the experienced left-hander has scored at only a run-a-ball against him.

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.
5: 53 IST, April 19th 2021
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.
