On Thursday, April 27, 2023, the 37th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) pits the four-time champion Chennai Super Kings against the Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Prior to the match, Chennai would like their top-order batters to perform admirably. At the IPL 2023, players such as Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway have been in sensational form. Prior to regaining his form, Conway struggled significantly in the early phases of the competition. He was dismissed after scoring a single in the first game of the season and a strikeout in the third game of the competition.
Former Australian batter Matthew Hayden disclosed that he was concerned about Chennai and Devon Conway batting approach at the beginning of the tournament.
“At first, I was concerned about Devon Conway because he was taking some time on the power play while Ruturaj Gaikwad was taking the initiative.” But over the past few games, Devon Conway has altered his strategy. At the beginning of the season, CSK’s opening partnership was inconsistent, but now there is consistency. “It’s great to see Devon Conway, a veteran player, taking on a leadership role,” Hayden told Star Sports.
CSK hopes to win their sixth match of the 2023 IPL.
As CSK prepare to play Rajasthan Royals, the four-time champions will be determined to maintain their IPL points lead. As they play their second game of the season in Jaipur, Rajasthan will be hoping for a change of fortune after suffering two consecutive defeats.
The team managed by Sanju Samson is currently in third place in the standings with eight points after seven games. In contrast, Chennai is in first place with 10 points after seven matches. The team, led by MS Dhoni, would be eager to record their sixth win of the season and continue their winning streak.
