CSK vs RR prediction
There is not much to split these teams.
Rajasthan Royals began their 2023 campaign with a dominant win over Sunrisers Hyderabad but were brought back to earth with a close loss, by five runs, against Punjab Kings.
All three of CSK's opening matches have been close, but they have managed to prevail on two of those occasions, only losing their opener against the defending champion Gujarat Titans.
Both teams are coming into this clash off of wins, but the difference may just be RR's ability to consistently post high totals.
They have posted at least 192 runs in all of their matches so far, which could be too much for CSK to scale, even at home.

- Odds: 1.97 (Dafabet)

CSK vs RR outside bet
- Pick: Top bowler (CSK) - Ravindra Jadeja
- Odds: 4.60 (Dafabet)
Ravindra Jadeja had a fairly quiet first two matches with the ball, but the left-arm spinner picked up an impressive 3/20 in his last match.
Bowling is all about confidence, and in a deep bowling attack Jadeja appears to be the one in form.
He is likely to receive four overs and at least feature at the top of CSK's bowling corp.
