Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will face off against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 62 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday, May 20, at 7:30 PM IST.
Both teams have been officially knocked out of playoff contention and will now be playing purely for pride. CSK, with only 3 wins in 12 games, are having one of their worst seasons in recent history. However, the team has seen some promising performances from youngsters like Ayush Mhatre and Dewald Brevis and will aim to finish strong.
Rajasthan Royals, meanwhile, have just one game left this season and will look to sign off with a win after a disappointing campaign. Sanju Samson’s side did manage to beat CSK earlier this season and will hope to do the double over the five-time champions.

The stylish southpaw has been the standout performer for RR this season, scoring 523 runs in 13 matches at an average of 43.58 and a strike rate of 158.00. As RR look to finish their campaign on a high, expect Jaiswal to lead the charge with the bat once again.
