Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, who are already out of the playoff race and occupy the bottom two spots on the IPL 2025 points table, will face each other on Tuesday. With nothing to lose, both teams will look to restore some pride by ending their campaign on a positive note.
This will be Rajasthan Royals’ final match of the season. Other than unearthing a promising talent in Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the Royals have had little to celebrate this year. Their decision to invest in poor bowling options during the auction has hurt them significantly. Additionally, the middle-order has failed to deliver consistently.
Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, are undergoing a transition. Their traditional strategy of backing experienced players has failed to produce results this season, which has severely impacted their overall performance.
