But lower middle order played exceptional cricket lead by Darren Sammy who scored 60 off just 41 balls to take his team to a respectable total. Amit Mishra and Ashish Reddy also chipped in with useful 21 and 14 respectively. Finally Sunrisers were able to post a total of 144/9 in 20 overs.

Dhoni lead CSK have lost two matches played at home and thus will be looking forward to this match for a comprehensive win to move on top of points table. The biggest challenge for Royals will be the batting line up of Chennai. Chennai batsmen have shared responsibility be it M Hussey, Dhoni, Raina or Jadeja and thus each one has started to contribute towards team’s success.

On the other hand Rajasthan Royals are over depending on Rahane and Dravid. Once these two fail, the middle order looks a bit shaky but its just the matter of time when the talented players start to perform.

If rivalry between these two teams is seen, Chennai has an upper hand as as they have a record of 5 straight wins against Royals in the last 5 matches.
