CSK vs RR: Five-time IPL champion Chennai Super Kings and 2008 champion Rajasthan Royals will face off in a matchup between two teams already out of the running for the playoffs.
The game will take place at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday. This is CSK’s second-to-last game of the season; thus they will be looking to end it on a high note with straight wins.
CSK was unsuccessful this season, winning only three of their last 12 games and finishing the competition in the lower half of the standings. Ayush Mhatre and Dewald Brevis, two young players who have taken advantage of their limited opportunities, have still developed as promising.
The Rajasthan Royals, meanwhile, are focused on winning their last game to cap off their IPL career. The Royals, led by captain Sanju Samson, are keen to make amends for their most recent loss to the Punjab Kings and to please their supporters with a solid showing. Rajasthan will want to repeat their victory over CSK in this match after winning their previous meeting.

CSK vs RR IPL 2025 Prediction: Who will Win?
Since both teams are already eliminated from the playoffs, the only thing at risk in this matchup is pride. Ayush Mhatre and Dewald Brevis are two young players who have shown promise, so the Chennai Super Kings will want to build on their recent victory and give their supporters something to celebrate.
The Rajasthan Royals, meanwhile, would want to finish their campaign with a bang following a disheartening defeat to the Punjab Kings. Given their recent close victory over CSK, RR may have a small advantage, but expect a close match.
