Can the Chennai Super Kings hitters handle the heat from Jofra Archer?
The 2020 Indian Premier League (IPL) continues to produce exciting matches as Royal Challengers Bangalore edged Sunrisers Hyderabad by 10 runs on Monday. Devdutt Padikkal, AB de Villiers and Jonny Bairstow were the best players with the bat during the game, while Yuzvendra Chahal and Navdeep Saini pocketed five wickets between them and played a role in turning the game into the hands of RCB. Matchday 4 of the 2020 IPL will be between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings in Sharjah.
Schedule issues for RR vs CSK:
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s second game will be on matchday 8, so the elimination of a couple of players from their side is justified. Chennai Super Kings will play again on Matchday 7, so we can pick a couple of the best CSK players from the first tournament. On the other hand, the Rajasthan Royals do not appear in the next four matches, so no more than two can be chosen from their team.

A high-scoring match on the cards?
Sharjah’s cricket stadium, over the years, has been the UAE’s highest-scoring stadium in the T20 format. The terrain has short boundaries, unlike Dubai and Sharjah, which offers the possibility of even more than 200 totals. During the 2019 PSL, the teams regularly crossed the 150-run mark and chasing them was pretty easy too.
Jofra’s impact on RR vs CSK:
By Jofra Archer The pace has created problems for Chennai Super Kings hitters in the past. Therefore, he will be the best option of the Rajasthan Royals team to be chosen in the XI. The likes of Ambati Rayudu and MS Dhoni are uncomfortable against Jofra. It could spread to foreign stars if Archer finds the right rhythm with the new ball.

Safe equipment for RR vs CSK:
We have chosen three of the best Chennai Super Kings players during the tournament opening: Faf du Plessis, Ambati Rayudu and Lungi Ngidi. Considering CSK’s bowling drive and field conditions, we expect Steve Smith to have a good game leading the Royals.
Risky team for RR vs CSK:
Riyan Parag has shown the potential to be a reliable mid-order hitter in the previous IPL. He could even do a couple of overs with his leg twist if needed during the game. Therefore, the two RR players we have chosen for this game are Riyan and Jofra Archer.
