Matches are coming thick and fast for Chennai Super Kings as they travel to Guwahati to face Rajasthan Royals.
CSK were hammered at home by Royal Challengers Bengaluru, as they were completely outplayed by their rivals in all departments, and this might prompt Chennai to make some changes to their playing XI.
Rajasthan, on the other hand, haven’t been up to the mark this season as they continue to cope up with the departure of key players like Jos Buttler and Yuzvendra Chahal. Rajasthan gave a terrible account of themselves with the bat and then failed to keep Quinton de Kock in check in the last game against KKR.
Given the position that Rajasthan are in, changes are expected. They might think of bringing in Akash Madhwal, a fiesty pacer in the middle overs, who has the ability to rattle the batters.
