Focus Shifts To Rebuilding As CSK, RR Face Off In Contest For Pride
Kashmir Observer
|MAY 20, 2025 ISSUE
The contest between laggards Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals holds no significance in the context of the play-offs, but both teams will aim to accelerate their rebuilding process with the MS Dhoni-led side looking to transform itself from a 'dad's army' into a young brigade.
Tuesday's match is last of the 2025 edition for the Royals, who have nothing to savour except finding exceptional talent in Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who forced the cricket world to take note of his unexpected coruscating show.
The bad bowling picks at the auction has hurt the Jaipur-based side the most apart from a non-impressive show by the middle order.
If they are at number nine in the table out of 10 teams, mostly it has been because of a mediocre show by their bowlers and over dependence on top order batters.
