The 17th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 will see the two (previously) ousted sides meeting for the first time after a gap of two years. Both, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) were suspended by the Supreme Court to participate in IPL 10 & IPL 9. Come Friday, both the teams will be looking to put all that behind and strive for a win, and eventually, earn two crucial points. Viewers will be able to catch the IPL match between CSK and RR Live Telecast on TV; ball-by-ball updates by Latestly.com and live streaming will be made available too.

MS Dhoni showed glimpses of his destructive best during CSK’s last outing against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), where they lost the nail-biting match by 4 runs. Suresh Raina missed out on their last game as he is nursing a calf injury. Dhoni, too, batted with a strained back in the latter half of his innings. For CSK, they have already lost Kedar Jadhav and Mitchell Santner to injuries; South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis is already recovering from an injury too. What will the playing XI for CSK, will be an interesting sight later tonight.

For Rajasthan Royals, their two of the most expensive players haven’t had played up to the mark so far. Both, Ben Stokes and Jaydev Unadkat have failed to live up to their bill. However, Ajinkya Rahane’s new-found attacking stroke-play early in the innings – a break-free from his traditional style – is something RR would be looking forward to their bout against CSK.

CSK has won 2 of the 3 matches they have played, whereas the RR has won 2 matches of the 4 matches they have played. In the latest points table, the CSK is on the 4th spot, while RR is currently on the 5th spot.
