RR Playing XI vs CSK: RR vs CSK LIVE – Rajasthan Royals face a daunting task against Chennai Super Kings at spin-heavy Chepauk Stadium. While RR have done pretty decently so far, Chennai is where they will be on the backfoot. Even though their bowlers will be up to the task, their batting may need a little relook. To safeguard the batting, Sanju Samson has kept Joe Root in the impact player list as the former England captain has an excellent record at the venue and plays spin well. He will also come in handy as an off-spinner. Follow IPL 2023 LIVE Updates on InsideSport.IN.
