On Wednesday, April 12, the 17th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 will pit the Chennai Super Kings against the Rajasthan Royals. This match will take place at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium. Despite losing their first match against the Gujarat Titans, the Chennai Super Kings quickly turned the tables. In their subsequent match, they prevailed over the Lucknow Super Giants and the Mumbai Indians in Mumbai.
Ravindra Jadeja bowled first and finished with figures of 3/20 in his four overs, limiting the Mumbai Indians to 157/8. Ajinkya Rahane played an exceptional knock of 61 off only 27 balls to help his side pursue down the all out in the penultimate over. They will have a lot of self-assurance and be eager to keep the winning momentum going.
The Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in their first match, but they lost the next one. In their third match, they dominated the Delhi Capitals and returned to winning ways. In the wake of being approached to bat first, fifties from Yashasvi Jaiswal (60) and Jos Buttler (79) assisted the Royals with posting 199 on the board. Yuzvendra Chahal and Trent Boult each took three wickets as they kept the Capitals at 142/9 and won the match by 57 runs. In their upcoming games, the Royals will want to maintain this level of performance.
