RR vs CSK Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report IPL 2023 Match 37 | RR vs CHE Dream11 Prediction Today | Jaipur Pitch Report
Two of the impressive teams in IPL 2023 do battle in what promises to be a cracking contest. Earlier this season, Sandeep Sharma held his nerve against a fast finishing Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a memorable match, where Rajasthan Royals (RR) prevailed by three runs.
So, what does this clash have in store for us? Ajinkya Rahane has pulled off a turnaround that needs to be seen to be believed. Shivam Dube is producing the goods. Also, the CSK attack, widely believed to be lacking experience and death-bowling nous, is delivering under pressure. MS Dhoni’s team run into a classy RR team, but the Royals have found ways to lose from winning positions at times so the yellow army has a strong chance here.
Sanju Samson’s team is coming off two straight defeats, falling short in two very achievable run chases against LSG and RCB respectively. They have often been in good positions, but one or two slow contributions in the batting lineup has hurt. Today, a good team display with the bat and ball is key against a confident CSK team.

Sawai Mansingh Stadium Jaipur Pitch Report and Weather
The pitch was on the slower side for the LSG-RR match back on 19 April. LSG fought hard to reach 154, which they defended thanks to effective changes of pace from their seamers. In this clash, expect deliveries into the surface to be used.
The average first innings score was just 125.91 in T20s on this ground in 2022. Legbreak bowlers were the most economical (slightly over six runs per over), while fast bowlers were most expensive at eight runs per over.
