CSKvsRR:Rajasthan Royals to play against table topper CSK on Saturday
Only one week or so remaining for the league matches to end, table-topper Chennai Super Kings (CSK) takes on Rajasthan Royals (RR), which is at the seventh spot (7) in the points and ahead of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), on Sunday (02nd October) in the second match of the weekend double-header of the ongoing IPL, 2021 in UAE.
CSK, thrice IPL champion and a strong contender this year too, has already qualified for the play-offs with electrifying performances both during the first leg as well as the second leg of the tourney. It has so far won 9 out of its 11 matches, thus taking its points tally to 18.
RR has three matches remaining, including one against CSK on Sunday. While CSK is expected to take the match seriously as match-practice for the play-off stage, RR would surely go all-out to win the match to give it an outside of qualifying for the play-offs provided it surmounts two more mountains: it would still have to beat Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knightriders. This is certainly one of the most impossible things ever to have been attempted by any team.
