Samson on RR’s 200th game: We would like to bat first. We like to stick to our strength, which is to defend. It feels really great to play RR’s 200th game, feels great to be playing for 10 years. Would love to see some pink here today, but it’s yellow and we know that the reason is (smiles). Boult misses out due to a niggle, Zampa is playing in his place.

RR vs CSK Live: Here’s what Dhoni said!

MS Dhoni at the toss: “We would have bowled first. This pitch here has decent amount of pace but the bounce is on the lower side so bowlers need to adapt soon. At the end of the day, you need characters, we are trying to build characters, trying to convince them to focus on process. The result doesn’t matter. We are playing the same side.”

RR vs CSK Live: RR win toss!

RR have won the toss and Samson opts to bat first. No Trent Boult for the home side. CSK name an unchanged team.

RR vs CSK Live: Pitch report!

Historically, Sawai Mansingh Stadium hasn’t been a high-scoring venue. The pitch was slow in the first match. So don’t expect too much runs.

RR vs CSK Live: Some interesting stats!

Of all the IPL venues, sixes are hit most infrequently in Jaipur: one every 29.7 balls

Ruturaj Gaikwad strikes at under a run a ball against the two RR opening bowlers, Trent Boult and Sandeep Sharma

Only Bhuvneshwar Kumar has got Jos Buttler more often in T20s than Moeen Ali: 44 balls, 60 runs, four wickets

RR vs CSK Live Score: RR desperate for a win!

Having suffered two consecutive losses, the Royals will be desperate to get their campaign back on track with a clinical performance against the visitors from Chennai.

For the Royals to do well, it is imperative that the likes of Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal and skipper Sanju Samson deliver with the bat and then, on a pitch that has help for the slower bowlers, hope that the seasoned spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal fire.

RR vs CSK Live Score: CSK top-order!

With their top-order comprising Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube firing together most of the time, CSK have notched up three easy wins while the Royals have lost their last two matches.

Thursday’s match could turn out to be a battle between CSK’s top-order batters and the world class spinners of the Royals.

RR vs CSK Live: Contrasting results in last few games!

Smarting from back-to-back defeats, Rajasthan Royals would hope to bounce back with a win against Chennai Super Kings in their IPL match at home on Thursday, but it will be easier said than done as the MS Dhoni-led team has been on a rampage with three victories on the trot
