Top captaincy candidates for the IPL 2025 Match 11 between RR and CSK.
The match no. 11 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will have Rajasthan Royals (RR) hosting Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. Both teams are coming off a defeat in their previous fixture.
Rajasthan Royals are reeling at the bottom of the table after losing their first two matches. In the previous game, they went down against Kolkata Knight Riders by eight wickets. Batting unit managed to post only 155, which wasn’t enough.
CSK suffered a 50-run defeat in the last game at the hands of Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Noor Ahmad picked three wickets but the rest of the attack was ineffective. Chasing the target, they lost three wickets in the powerplay and couldn’t find a way back.
Ruturaj Gaikwad fell cheaply in the previous game but played a superb knock of 47 off 28 balls against Mumbai Indians. Last season, he scored 583 runs at an average of 53 and strike rate of 141. Gaikwad has two hundreds and 19 fifties in the IPL.
Sanju Samson made 66 off 37 balls in the opening game as an impact sub. He averages just around 20 at this venue but remains a top captaincy option. Samson had amassed 531 runs in the previous IPL edition at an average of 48 while striking at 153.
Noor Ahmad delivered a superb performance in the season opener, picking 4 for 18. He backed it up with 3 for 36 in the second match. Noor has taken 61 wickets in the shorter format since June last year at an economy of just 6.14.
Shivam Dube has had a couple of bad games and it has dropped his fantasy ownership to just 22%. That means a great differential value if he performs in this game. His negative matchups in the RR line-up is Jofra Archer.
Archer has leaked runs in the first two games, dropping his ownership to 25% for this game. If there’s one opponent he should do well, it is CSK. His speed and natural length can be an issue for CSK batters.
