Ruturaj Gaikwad: Ruturaj Gaikwad has had a brilliant start to the 2023 season. He is currently the second highest run-scorer with 189 runs at an average of 94.50, including two half centuries. In his last visit at this venue, he scored a brilliant half century against Lucknow Super Giants.
Yashasvi Jaiswal: Yashasvi Jaiswal is performing brilliantly at the top of the order. In three games he has 125 runs, including two half centuries already this season.

He has over 150 runs in three games, including two half centuries already. In addition, he has an average of 53.40 against Chennai while playing for the Royals.
Ambati Rayudu: Ambati Rayudu is hardly selected by any team. He will be a great differential pick for this match. The Chennai middle order batter is going to play a crucial role in this match.
Jason Holder: Jason Holder will be another great differential pick for this match. He has been doing the death overs duty for Rajasthan this season. He is not rated by many, especially in a unit like that of the Royals. He can be a huge difference maker to your points tally.
Riyan Parag: Riyan Parag’s shortcomings with the bat continue. He has not been able to contribute much with the bat for a long time. It is advisable to keep him out of your XI.
