Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on IPL 2022 finalists Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match No. 17 of the IPL 2023 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday. It will be a landmark occasion for CSK skipper MS Dhoni as he will be playing his 200th game as Chennai Super Kings captain in front of his home crowd.
Both RR and CSK have won a couple of games in IPL 2023 with Sanju Samson’s side having a better net run-rate to be placed at No. 2 on the Points Table currently. A win over CSK will take them right to the top of the Points Table.
Dhoni’s CSK also enjoyed a victorious homecoming to Chepauk, defeating Lucknow Super Giants by 12 runs and following that up with a comprehensive win over arch-rivals Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium last week. CSK, though, have a couple of injury concerns with Deepak Chahar and Ben Stokes. However, Sri Lankan spinner Maheesh Theekshana will be available for the first game this season and will be a tempting option for Dhoni to play at home.
