RR vs CSK, IPL 2021: Today match players list & umpires
The Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face a herculean task when they take on the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 47 of the 2021 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.
After an unexpected win over Punjab Kings (PBKS) thanks to Kartik Tyagi’s heroics, RR have gone down to Delhi, Hyderabad and Bangalore without putting up a fight. With four wins from 11 games, they will need a miraculous effort to make the top four from here.
CSK became the first team to qualify for the IPL 2021 playoffs following their six-wicket triumph over SRH. They are yet to lose a game in the UAE leg and will be keen to keep the winning momentum going against RR.
