IPL 2021, CSK vs RR, Preview: Teams In Battle To Gain Momentum After First Wins

IPL 2021: Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals come off wins in their respective last games after getting off to losing starts in the tournament.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) would look to build on their first wins and gain momentum when they clash in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in Mumbai on Monday. The two sides bounced back after losing their opening fixtures with wins, albeit in contrasting styles. While the MS Dhoni-led CSK had it easy against Punjab Kings, the Royals scraped through against Delhi Capitals in the final over. Both teams would be eyeing a second win to give their campaign a boost. CSK hit back superbly after a chastening defeat to Capitals with Deepak Chahar putting his hand up with a four-wicket haul to break the back of the Punjab batting line-up, setting up a six-wicket victory. Skipper Dhoni would have been happy with the bowlers' performance after they had been taken to the cleaners by Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan in the opener.
