CSK vs RR: Pitch Report
The pitch at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is known to be a fair one, but it tends to favor the bowlers, particularly spinners.

A total of 160-180 runs could be a challenging target to chase. Given the circumstances, either captain winning the toss might bowl first
CSK vs RR: Team updates
Deepak Chahar's hamstring injury will prevent him from playing.
Ben Stokes, who was absent from the Mumbai match due to a toe injury, is unlikely to feature on Wednesday either.
According to Jadeja, the all-rounder should be back to full fitness in 4-5 days.
Theekshana may seem like a tempting option for the Super Kings, but playing him would require benching one of their South African seamers or Santner, or continuing to leave Moeen Ali out.
Ajinkya Rahane's outstanding performance of scoring 61 runs in 27 balls against Mumbai will make it difficult for the Super Kings to drop him from the team.
The Royals, on the other hand, do not have any significant injury concerns or selection dilemmas.
CSK vs RR: Impact Player Strategy for Chennai Super Kings
Rahane's impressive start to the season has given the Super Kings some leeway. If they bat first, they can initially name three foreign players and then bring in Theekshana or Sisanda Magala as the impact player in the second inning. If they bat second, they would be better off starting with their seasoned foreign bowlers and replacing an Indian seamer with Ambati Rayudu or Rahane later in the innings.
Probable bat-first XI: 1 Devon Conway, 2 Ruturaj Gaikwad, 3 Ajinkya Rahane/Moeen Ali, 4 Ambati Rayudu, 5 Shivam Dube, 6 Ravindra Jadeja, 7 Dwaine Pretorius, 8 MS Dhoni (capt, wk), 9 Mitchell Santner, 10 Maheesh Theekshana/Simarjeet Singh, 11 Tushar Deshpande
