RR vs CSK: Dream11 Prediction – Who Will Win?
The decision to let go of key players like Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult, and Ravi Ashwin leaves RR with a less potent bowling attack and fewer wicket-taking options. On the other hand, CSK boasts a solid unit in both batting and bowling departments. Given this, we predict CSK to come out on top in this game.
