CSK vs RR Dream11 Prediction: Chennai Super Kings face a tough task to win crucial two points when they host Rajasthan Royals in the 61st match of the Indian Premier League 2024 on Sunday afternoon. Both Chennai and Rajasthan are placed in the top four of the points table but the former need to avoid a loss in the upcoming fixture to maintain their position for the playoff qualification.
Chennai fell 35 runs short while chasing a huge 232-run target against Gujarat Titans on Friday. The defending champions currently occupy the fourth spot in the points table with six wins in 12 games and have won just once in their last five meetings against Rajasthan.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals suffered their only third defeat of the season after a 20-run defeat against Delhi Capitals in their last match. Rajasthan lost their top spot in the points table but a potential win against Chennai will confirm their place in playoffs.
