In this article, we will analyze the IPL Cricket Match Prediction 2024 of Match 61 of Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals on May 12. Will RR avoid their 3rd consecutive defeat by defeating CSK? On Sunday afternoon, the Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals will square off in Match 61 of the 2024 Indian Premier League. Gujarat Titans defeated CSK on Friday, and now they have 12 points, while Rajasthan Royals have 8 wins and 16 points. Continue reading for our preview of this game, which starts on May 12 at 15:30 local time at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk.
Despite their uneven play this season—they lost to them again on Friday—CSK is a different team when playing at home in front of their supporters. Although they are familiar with home conditions, they will have a great chance of winning even though this matchup against the Rajasthan Royals will undoubtedly be difficult.
While the Rajasthan Royals have recently had a run of bad luck, they still have a talented lineup that should help them finish strongly in the group stage. They should push CSK hard in this game and we anticipate them to be competitive once more.
In their previous match against the Gujarat Titans, Ruturaj Gaikwad’s team bowled badly and lost by 35 runs. The team has had difficulty in their last few games; a victory here would guarantee a spot in the following round. The Rajasthan Royals will come out swinging, therefore Gaikwad needs to lead from the front and guide his team to victory.
Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra need to get off to a strong start at the top of the order because Rajasthan’s bowlers have had trouble with the new ball. With Daryl Mitchell and Moeen Ali batting in the middle of the order, Ajinkya Rahane’s form is a worry for the squad. With MS Dhoni, Shivam Dube, and Ravindra Jadeja expected to score runs in the lower middle order, CSK has depth in their batting lineup.
The team is looking to Mitchell Santner and Tushar Deshpande to put on a strong performance, as the bowling attack has to improve on its recent low-ball performance. In between Moeen Ali and Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur needs to perform well. Deepening the onslaught are Mitchell, Simarjeet Singh, and Rachin Ravindra.

Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), MS Dhoni (wk), Simarjeet Singh, Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, Shardul Thakur, Tushar Deshpande, Rachin Ravindra, Ravindra Jadeja, Mitchell Santner, and Daryl Mitchell.
Sanju Samson’s team has now lost two games in a row. They’d won eight of the previous nine games. In their most recent encounter with the Delhi Capitals, they lost by 20 runs. In the last two games, they have lost in crucial situations. Samson wants his players to take inspiration from their four consecutive victories over the Chennai Super Kings to turn their campaign around.
The team anticipates a big start from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler in this match because they have combined for over 650 runs this season. They anticipate a strong performance from Samson, Shubham Dubey, and Riyan Parag, as the middle order has performed admirably. Three quality batters who improve the batting lineup are Ravichandran Ashwin, Rovman Powell, and Shimron Hetmyer.
The bowling attack has struggled this season; Trent Boult and Sandeep Sharma are needed to take early wickets against CSK. Yuzvendra Chahal and Ashwin will relish bowling on the slower surface, and this spin tandem is crucial to the match. This assault gains strength from the variety that Avesh Khan and Parag provide to it.

Sanju Samson (c & wk), Donovan Ferreira, Ravichandran Ashwin, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sandeep Sharma, Riyan Parag, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Jos Buttler, Shubham Dubey, and Rovman Powell.

MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai
We anticipate that both captains will prefer to bat first before tossing because teams who bat first have won about 59% of IPL games at Chepauk.
On Sunday at Chepauk, sunny skies and a temperature of 33 degrees are predicted for the duration of the match. In addition, there will be humidity with a level over 70%.
The MA Chidambaram Stadium’s first-inning average is 164.66, but we anticipate this game’s par score to be just above that. The spinners will have a turn, and this surface may make it difficult to get fast runs in the middle overs.
There have been five meetings between these two sides thus far, with RR winning four and CSK winning just one.
