RR vs CSK | IPL T20 Match 47 | 02-10-2021 19:30|1|1| Preview & Stats Added | Match Finished

• Opener Evin Lewis hit 58 from 37 balls in Wednesday’s defeat to RCB. He is our recommendation for Rajasthan Royals’ highest run scorer against CSK. Mustafizur Rahman took 2-20 against RCB and is a solid choice for the Rajasthan Royals’ top wicket taker in this game.
• Faf du Plessis scored 41 in Thursday’s victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad. The South African has made 435 runs in the tournament and is our tip for CSK’s leading run scorer in this match. With the ball, Dwayne Bravo continued his impressive form with 2-17 on Thursday and is well worth backing to be CSK’s top wicket taker in this fixture.
• Dwayne Bravo turns 38 later this week but is playing some of the best cricket of his career. He is our prediction for the Player of The Match Award.

 Toss Prediction: 

Rajasthan Royals chose to field first after winning the toss in their last match in Abu Dhabi. With CSK electing to insert the opposition in their last match as well, it is pretty clear what the captains will do in this match.
