Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will face Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the 62nd match of the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on May 20.
Both teams, already knocked out of playoff contention, are locked in a battle to dodge the wooden spoon. With RR and CSK languishing in ninth and tenth places, respectively, each with six points, a CSK victory could lift them above RR and spare them the embarrassment of finishing last.
CSK vs RR Match PreviewÂ
Chennai Super Kings, led by MS Dhoni, have endured a dismal campaign, winning just three of their 12 matches. Currently rooted to the bottom of the IPL 2025 points table, CSK snapped a four-match losing streak with a morale-boosting win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their previous outing. However, their season has been plagued by inconsistent batting.

The addition of young talents like Ayush Mhatre, Urvil Patel and Dewald Brevis has added freshness to their batting unit. On the bowling front, Noor Ahmad has been the most impressive, having claimed 20 wickets so far.
Rajasthan Royals, captained by Sanju Samson, have fared worse and are still reeling from a three-match losing streak. With 10 losses in 13 games, RR’s season has been defined by missed opportunities, including games where victory seemed within reach.Â
The opening duo of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi has done their job remarkably well, giving the Royals explosive starts. However, their middle order has failed to cash in, causing RR’s defeats more often than not, just like the last game, where they lost to Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 10 runs while chasing a target of 220.
This dead-rubber clash offers both teams a chance to salvage pride and give their fans something to cheer about. For CSK, a victory is crucial to leapfrog RR in the standings and avoid the unwanted distinction of finishing last. The same goes for RR, who would want to end a disappointing campaign with a flourish and build momentum for the next season.
