RR vs CSK key battles:
Sanju Samson vs Khaleel Ahmed
Left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed will be up against Sanju Samson with the new ball in the first over of the match. The battle is expected to be mouth-watering as Khaleel Ahmed started the season with a bang against MI by picking up two wickets in his first spell.
Dhruv Jurel vs Noor Ahmed
Dhruv Jurel has been one of the few in-form batters for RR in the first couple of matches in an otherwise struggling batting lineup. Jurel will face the challenge of Afghan leg spinner Noor Ahmad in the middle overs during the RR vs CSK game.
Noor picked up four wickets on his debut for CSK and will fancy his chances on a pitch that had a lot of assistance for the spinners in the first match on this surface between RR and KKR.
Rachin Ravindra vs Maheesh Theekshana
Rachin Ravindra, who scored a match-winning half-century against MI, would like to continue his rich vein of form and hopes to play another match-winning innings in the RR vs CSK clash on Sunday. Ravindra will have to tackle the spin of Maheesh Theekshana in the first six overs
Ruturaj Gaikwad vs Wanindu Hasaranga
Like Ravindra, Ruturaj Gaikwad also scored an attacking fifty against MI. The CSK captain will be facing the leg-spin of Wanindu Hasaranga if he decides again to bat at number during the RR vs CSK clash as he did in the first match.
