Confident Chennai face battered Rajasthan

April 23, 2014 18:55

Two-time champions Chennai Super Kings would start as the favourites when they clash against Rajasthan Royals, a team seeking to get back to winning ways in the Indian Premier League, on Wednesday.

Chennai Super Kings are high on confidence after inflicting on Delhi Daredevils an embarrassing 93-run defeat on Monday. They needed a morale-booster like that after starting the campaign on a losing note.

On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals, champions in the inaugural edition, tasted success to start with, but failed to prevent Kings XI Punjab from chasing down a 190-plus total in their last match.

Both teams have notched a win and defeat each from their first two outings.

Chennai lead in the head-to-head count with 8-5 win-loss record against Rajasthan Royals. Interestingly, Rajasthan beat Chennai in the final to win the inaugural IPL title in 2008.
