IPL 2020: Chennai Super Kings started their campaign with a win over defending champion Mumbai Indians. It was a record-breaking opening day for IPL as 20 crore people watched it and it is said that it is the record for the most-watched opening day in any sporting league ever. CSK will enter as a favorite in a game against RR.   

Josh Buttler will not play against CSK in their first game of this season's IPL. He will miss a game due to quarantine rules. In a series against Australia, he scored 44 and 77 runs to help his team to get series. He is a vital player for Rajasthan Royals and it is a big blow for them in the first game against Chennai Super Kings which teams moral has on a high level after the first game's win. 

Another huge blow for Rajasthan Royals as they are not sure about Ben Stokes' availability.  Ben Stokes is one of the best all-rounders in today's cricket in all formats of the game. If he will not play this season for Rajasthan than it will be the biggest loss for Rajasthan. 

Steve Smith is the pillar of Rajasthan Royals in their batting lineup. Rajasthan has a very good Indian player- Sanju Samson, Robin Uthappa. Also, they have a very good role player in a team who can contribute with the bat.

Rajasthan Royals have some issues with a bowling line up. Jaydev Unadkat will lead the bowling. 

Chennai Super already showed their form against Mumbai Indians. They have MS Dhoni, Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Ravindra Jadeja, Ambati Raydu who made a half-century against MI to give a win to his team.    

CSK has a good bowling line up not the best. Chennai has an upper hand and they will enter as the heavy favorite in this game against RR as Buttler and Ben Stokes will not play in a game for Rajasthan Royals. Piyush Chawla and Ravindra Jadeja both took 15+ Wickets against RR.

 

Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals played each other 21 times in IPL. CSK lead with 14 wins to RR's 7 wins. Last season CSK won both of their games.
