IPL 2024: Top 3 Records That Could Be Broken in Today’s CSK vs RR Match

The 61st match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will be played between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The match is scheduled on May 12th at 3:30 pm.

Chennai Super Kings are currently ranked 4th in the points table with 6 wins and a better net run rate than DC and LSG. This is a must-win game for Chennai as a loss here could dent their playoff chances.

Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, are in second position and would eye a win here to secure their place in Qualifier 1. A loss here could harm their chances of playing in Qualifier 1.

Chennai Super Kings lost to Gujarat Titans in the last game while chasing 230 after a stellar show by Gill and Sudarshan. The loss has made both remaining games for CSK do-or-die encounters.

Chennai Super Kings will be led by Ruturaj Gaikwad while Sanju Samson will lead Rajasthan Royals. Both captains have been incredible with their performances this season.

Rajasthan defeated CSK by 32 runs when both teams last met in the tournament at Sawai Maan Singh Indoor Stadium.

Here are some records that could be broken in the match:

Jaiswal Eyes 1500 IPL runs

Yashasvi Jaiswal (1492) needs another eight runs to reach 1500 runs. Jaiswal has truly been an IPL product, making it to international cricket with the help of his performance in IPL matches.

Gaikwad to Hit Century of Sixes

Chennai Super Kings Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad has been exceptional with the bat this season, carrying his team. Gaikwad is 11 sixes away from reaching the milestone of hitting 100 sixes in IPL.

It would be a mouthwatering contest as other teams will also be glued to watching this match, as a Chennai loss could possibly turn the tables for either of the teams that are in the middle of the points table.
