<p>As many as 33 sixes were hit during Chennai Super Kings (CSK) vs Rajasthan Royals (RR) match on Tuesday in the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020</a> in Sharjah as the encounter equaled the record of most sixes in match in IPL history.</p>

<p>The previous record of 33 sixes hit in a match was held by the game played between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru in IPL 2020 where sixes were smashed in abundance.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings players had another plan as plenty of sixes were hit in Sharjah as batsmen took advantage of shorter boundaries to entertain the fans with a high-scoring game, the first in IPL 2020.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For Chennai Super Kings, Faf du Plessis was at his best again as he hammered a 37-ball 72 laced by seven maximums whereas Shane Watson smoked four sixes. Sam Curran and MS Dhoni hit two and three sixes respectively as CSK fell short of 16 runs of the target.</p>

<p>Royals will pose a tough challenge to Dhoni and Co. this year, despite having a poor run last season. Cricketing stalwarts like Steve Smith, Jofra Archer and Jos Buttler have been in the top form currently and will be an asset to the Royals tonight. However, Buttler will be missing out the opening match.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The squad of Rajasthan Royals include Robin Uthappa, who could replace Buttler and is one fifty shy from getting 25 half-centuries in the Indian Premier League. Yashasvi Jaiswal will be the young gun to watch out for. Jaiswal was the leading run-getter during India’s run to the final of the Under 19 World Cup earlier in the year. He also remains the youngest Indian to score a double ton in List A cricket. He might even open the innings for Royals. Sanju Samson has been in top form for Royals in yesteryears, he will be expected to perform well this year too.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In terms of hard-hitters, David Miller and all-rounder Tom Curran could be a part of the playing XI tonight.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chennai Super Kings players are confident after their latest win over Mumbai Indians. Ambati Rayudu and Faf du Plessis have been in top form and scored half-centuries in the previous match. Dhoni's form with the bat is still not known as he did not play many balls last match. Jadeja, Ngidi and Chahar are expected to lead CSK's bowling department. According to coach Stephen Fleming, Bravo will be missing this match too.</p>

<h2><strong>STATS</strong></h2>

<p>In the last five matches between the two sides, CSK have beaten RR 4-1.</p>

<h2><strong>MILESTONE ALERT</strong></h2>

<p>CSK skipper MS Dhoni needs 68 more runs to complete 4500 IPL runs. RR player David Miller needs one catch to complete 50 IPL catches. CSK duo Shane Watson and Ambati Rayudu need 43 and 45 runs respectively to complete 1000 IPL runs for Chennai Super Kings.</p>

<p><strong>Chennai Super Kings:&nbsp;</strong>Murali Vijay, Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Ambati Rayudu, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni (c &amp; wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, Deepak Chahar, Piyush Chawla, Lungi Ngidi</p>

IPL 2020- Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings: Preview, stats, players to watchout for

<p>In what comes as a massive blow to Rajasthan Royals (RR), English wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler will miss RR’s opening clash against Chennai Super Kings in <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020</a>. Buttler travelled separately with his family to the UAE and as a result he will have to undergo the mandatory six-day quarantine period before he is allowed to play a match.</p>

<p>Buttler confirmed the development on Sunday during Rajasthan Royals’ Instagram live session. The swashbuckling batsman had missed most of England’s limited-overs matches against Australia due to family commitments.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has slashed the quarantine period to 36 hours as England and Australian players had travelled from one bio-secure bubble in the UK to another in the UAE. However, as Buttler travelled separately, he will have to undergo the six-day quarantine period.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Buttler was hopeful that English all-rounder Ben Stokes will be able to join the Rajasthan Royals squad at some point in time during the course of IPL 2020. Stokes missed the majority of English summer as he wanted to be with his family in New Zealand, and hasn’t provided any update on whether he will play in the IPL 2020. He is yet to join the RR squad in UAE.&nbsp;</p>
