RR vs CSK team news
There are no fresh injury concerns for RR heading into this match.
CSK, however, will likely be without all-rounder Ben Stokes again.
The England star injured his toe in training last week and is unlikely to recover in time for Thursday's clash.

RR vs CSK prediction
- Result prediction: RR to win
There is not much to split these two teams, but we think RR have the edge due to their home-ground advantage and previous win over CSK.
Sitting two points off the summit of the ladder, RR also possess the best net run rate in the entire league.
The main concern for them, however, will be turning around their form, coming off of two consecutive losses.
As for CSK, their ability to post huge totals is an ever-present threat.
They stuttered in their run chase against RR earlier in the season though, and will need to improve from that effort to take the win on Thursday.
RR vs CSK best bet
- Pick: Batsman runs (Devon Conway) - Over 24.5
- Odds: 1.87 (Dafabet)
Devon Conway has been Mr. Consistent for CSK this season, regularly posting high totals in his role as an opener.
He has scored a half-century in each of his last four games and is showing no signs of slowing down.
In a crunch clash at the top of the table, we're backing the South African to go big again.
RR vs CSK outside bet
- Pick: Both teams to record a duck
- Odds: 4.50 (Dafabet)
In an important match, there are bound to be some nerves.
The Sawai Mansingh Indoor Stadium generally favours the bowlers and batters equally, but we think there is a chance of nervous opener dismissals or even some sloppy lower-order wickets.
