Preview

High Flying Chennai take on unbalanced Rajasthan in match 47 of the Indian T20 League 2021 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Saturday. The men in yellow are on a consistent roll in the UAE leg with a 4 game unbeaten streak. They are yet to lose a match in the second phase and are currently the only side into the playoffs. Led by captain cool, the Chennai unit this season instead of overcomplicating things have kept them clean and simple. Players have played with complete freedom and not with a survival mindset.  Ruturaj has been a revelation at the top of the batting order, mixing caution with wind. He has displayed incredible mental fortitude and courage to ensure a good start for his side. Alongside Du Plessis the dynamic duo have been instrumental for Chennai this edition. Josh Hazlewood and Deepak Chahar have been lethal with ball in hand. 

Rajasthan on the other hand have struggled to find their feet in the tournament. Their batting looks in complete disarray with none of the batters showing any sense of urgency. Sanju Samson has been the lone warrior for the men in pink and blue, gathering 452 runs in 11 games at a staggering average of 41.09. Yashashvi and Lewis have shown potential at the top but have failed to convert the good starts into something significant. Middle order has hardly delivered this season and Sanju Samson would be hoping his batsmen in the middle order to come good against the mighty Chennai. Riyan Parag has been handed the long rope despite a string of woeful performances in the tournament. Replacing him with someone like a Shubham Dube would be a viable option for the crunch game.
