A promising Rajasthan Royals unit will look to get their IPL 2020 campaign off to a winning start when they take on Chennai Super Kings at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. CSK made early gains in the tournament with a five-wicket win over defending champions Mumbai Indians but come Tuesday, they’ll face a stiff challenge in the form of the Royals. Last season they finished second from bottom, but things appear different for them this time around, in a positive way of course, with heavyweights such as Steve Smith, Jofra Archer.

RR will be without Jos Buttler, as he will be in quarantine having come to UAE with his family. Steve Smith, who missed Australia's one-day series against England due to concussion, has recovered and will lead RR. For CSK, Dwayne Bravo is nursing an injury and is out of action for the second straight game. They've got some good news though, with young batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad recovering from COVID-19 and available for selection. Buttler's absence means one of Robin Uthappa or Manan Vohra could partner Jaiswal at the top, unless both play at the expense of Jaiswal.
