Rajasthan Royals are set to lock
horns with Chennai Super Kings in match number 48 of the 2021 Indian Premier
League at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, October 2. Super
Kings on Friday defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad to become the first team to
qualify for the playoffs.
With a net run rate of 1.002, the
Yellow Army is also expected to top the points table. However, they can let
their guard down a bit and rest some of their key players. On the other hand,
the Sanju Samson-led Royals are in dire straits as they are at the seventh
position in the table.
If they lose another game, it
will be extremely difficult for them to make it to the playoffs. In their
previous game, RR lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore by seven wickets. Beating
the Super Kings will not be easy by any means and Samson's men need to put
their best foot forward in the match.

The probable best batsman of the match
Faf du Plessis - Chennai Super
Kings
Faf du Plessis has been
exceptional for the Super Kings in the 2021 edition of the IPL. In 11 matches,
the former South Africa captain has scored 435 runs at an average of 48.33 and
a strike rate of 138.09. Du Plessis is at the top of his game after scoring
four half-centuries in the T20 league. Royals need to get him out as soon as
possible.
Probable best bowler of the match
Mustafizur Rahman - Rajasthan
Royals
Mustafizur Rahman has been
exceptional for the Royals in recent times. Chris Morris has not delivered in
the UAE and it is Mustafizur who has made the move for his team in the
tournament. In 11 matches, the left-arm fast bowler has taken 13 wickets at an
impressive economy rate of 7.75.
