Rajasthan Royals have many new faces in their side and it would be really exciting to see how they can get their combinations right for a balanced team. CSK on the other hand have had their first win against the Mumbai Indians in the first match of this tournament on Saturday, and therefore they will be brimming with confidence. All the doubts about their ageing side and a couple of key players opting out of the tournament has been set aside after they put in a commanding display against the Mumbai franchise.

RR will be missing their marquee player in Ben Stokes, who will miss the entire tournament due to personal reasons. Captain Steven Smith would have greater responsibility in the absence of Stokes who was the undoubted match winner for the RR side. The acquisition of David Miller is a real positive for the Rajasthan fans as he brings stability to the middle order and once he gets going, he can be the finisher that they so desperately required.

Another young talent can be on display in this match, as RR would be looking to introduce Yashasvi Jaiswal into their lineup and he is expected to take the opening batsman slot along with Robin Uthappa.
