In the 17th match of the Indian Premier League 2023, Chennai Super Kings will take on Rajasthan Royals at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. CSK have played one home game in their season so far in which they defeated LSG by a close margin. Meanwhile, RR won the only match that they have played on the road against SRH in Hyderabad in a dominant fashion. Pitch Report M.A. Chidambaram provided an entertaining contest in the previous match between CSK and LSG which saw both teams score more than 200 runs each last week. These high totals were a stark contrast to what we generally see at Chepauk in the IPL, a turning pitch where 160-170 runs are scored and defended more times than not. That’s why, it’s important to assess the pitch carefully just before the match begins, but as of now, we should expect a total of over 180 in the first innings between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals.
