RR vs CSK, Sawai Man Singh Stadium: IPL head-to-head records, most runs, most wickets and more

Rajasthan Royals (RR) will host Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) fixture at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium on Thursday. 

The two teams have locked horns on 27 occasions with Chennai winning 15 times. On the other hand, RR have emerged victorious in 12 matches. 

The hosts for Thursday have suffered back-to-back defeats against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and are desperate to bounce back to winning track.

Their big guns Jos Buttler, skipper Sanju Samson, and Shimron Hetmyer had a bad day at the office against RCB and they would need to fire on a tricky Sawai Man Singh Stadium wicket which has historically helped the bowlers. 

Meanwhile, CSK head into this fixture on the back of a dominant 49-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) where they outplayed their opposition in every department. They have won three matches on the trot which has propelled them to the top of the table with 10 points from 10 matches.
