This article contains the details of the playing 11 of the Rajasthan Royals for the RR vs CSK match
Rajasthan Royals Playing 11 vs CSK- IPL 2025, Match 11:
Openers: Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal
Regular captain Sanju Samson, who will play as an impact substitute, will open the innings along with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the RR vs CSK clash. Sanju is the only top-order batter with runs under his belt in the ongoing IPL season.
Yashasvi, on the other hand, has found it difficult to score runs and has struggled to get the right balance between hitting boundaries and rotating the strike to get the scoreboard moving
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Riyan Parag, Nitish Rana, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Shimron Hetmayer, Shubham Dube, Wanindu Hasaranaga
RR’s middle order has been a cause of concern for the team as it hasn’t lived up to the expectations with experienced batters like Nitish Rana, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, and Shimron Hetmayer making up the core of the batting lineup.
Riyan Parag, who has been named the captain of Rajasthan Royals for the first three matches, has failed miserably in the first two matches against SRH and KKR, respectively, and has thrown his wicket away on both occasions.
Dhruv Jurel is the only middle-order batter for RR who has looked in some sort of form, as far as the performance of the first two matches is concerned, with a half-century against SRH in the first match.
Bowlers: Sandeep Sharma, Tushar Deshpande, Maheesh Theekshana
RR would hope for a better show with the ball from their bowlers in the RR vs CSK clash, which includes the likes of Sandeep Sharma, Tushar Deshpande, and Maheesh Theekshana, all of whom haven’t had much impact in the first two matches.
Sandeep Sharma, in particular, has been ineffective in the middle overs and has failed to pick up wickets at crucial stages of the match. Sandeep has leaked runs in the final five overs as well.
