Hello all and welcome to the 49th match of IPL between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals.
The equations in this match are pretty simple. If Chennai win, they go through to the semi's irrespective of the result in their last match and Rajasthan would maintain their position at the top of the table if they win
Pitch seems a little two paced and runs would be difficult to come by. A total of around 170-180 would be a good one
By the way it is Venkat Raghav on commentary and Raymond Langham on scoring
Toss has been won by Shane Warne, who shouted his throat out and chose to bat first. Warne, feels that they have had their share of bowling first and also informs that there are four changes in the team
Dhoni is a little circumspect and says they would like to seal the semi final berth in this match and also informs that there is one change, Abhinav comes in place of Vidyut
Team changes are as follows:
For Rajasthan Trivedi, Rawat, Watson and Jadeja are rested and in place of them they have Taruvar Kohli, Dinesh Salunkhe, Kamran Akmal, and Pankaj Singh playing
Chennai, for whom this match is more important have made only one change, that being Abhinav Mukund in place of Vidyut
Ntini to open the attack and he would be bowling to Graeme Smith and Swapnil Asnodkar

Friend there is one rule which allows only 4 foreign players in team. Thats why I included Nehra otherwise I know there is little to expect from him.

still I feel there should be one genuine spineer, as Nehra & Nel may be hit out of the ground easily. Try Rajesh Pawar or Chitnis in place of Nehra. Nel will be very effective fir initial strike, and he is hard hitter of ball also. Anyway good thinking, MASH. thanks.
