RR vs CSK, Match 37: Top five picks

1. Jos Buttler (RR): RR's destructive opening batter Jos Buttler has two ducks in his last three innings. He is still the leading run-scorer for the Royals so far this season with 244 runs in seven outings. The right-handed batter will be looking to get amongst the runs quickly.
2. Sanju Samson (RR): RR captain Sanju Samson has also almost struggled in his last five innings. His scores read as 0, 0, 60, 2, and 22. The right-handed player would hope to improve his tally and get a significant score in this fixture.
3. Yuzvendra Chahal (RR): Legspinner Yuzvendra Chahal is the leading wicket-taker for RR so far. He has picked up 12 wickets in seven games at an average of 18.83. The purple cap winner from last edition is a worthy pick for this home game.
4. Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK): CSK's opening batter Ruturaj Gaikwad is averaging 45.00 this season as he has struck the second-most runs for CSK after Devon Conway. Though, after scoring two fifties in the first two matches, Gaikwad's hasnt reached the feat in his last five outings. He will look to do so in this game as he also has a century to his name against RR.
5. Moeen Ali (CSK): Moeen Ali's highest score of 93 in the IPL came against the Royals last season at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. The left-handed batter has still not fired in IPL 2023 as he looks to finally get amongst the runs.
