RR's star opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has been the lone shining spot for his team. In 13 games, the southpaw has amassed 523 runs at an average of 43.58 and a strike rate of 158.00. Notably, he stands third on the list of highest run-getters this season. With Rajasthan playing their final game of this edition, Jaiswal will be hoping to bat the same way he has and give the fans something to cheer for.

The two teams languishing at the bottom of points table - Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals - will clash against each other on Tuesday at Arun Jaitley Stadium. It is going to be a battle for pride as both teams are desperate to finish their campaign on high after getting knocked out of the playoff race. CSK will be playing for the first time after IPL resumption and will be rejuvenated to bounce back against Rajasthan Royals, who suffered a defeat against Punjab Kings at home on Sunday. It is going to be the final match of the season for the Royals, who have looked lacklustre throughout this season, especially when it comes to finishing the game. They have lost multiple close games in the final over after failing to achieve the target. The absence of Sanju Samson for majority of season also hurt them as Riyan Parag didn't look ready for the big captaincy role.

However, the emergence of 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi at the big stage was one of the only positives for Rajasthan this year. The left-handed batter scripted history with a 35-ball century and continued his fearless batting approach in the following matches. In the last match against PBKS, he scored a blistering 40, but his team failed to finish the match once again.

Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings' strategy of stacking the team with familiar, seasoned players has backfired this season, exposing the limitations of an outdated approach. The team placed significant expectations on Rahul Tripathy and Deepak Hooda, banking on their international experience. However, while that pedigree may have secured them spots in the squad, they’ve struggled to deliver consistently when it matters most.

The rebuilding process has started with the infusion of young blood like Ayush Mhatre, Shaik Rasheed, and Urvil Patel. The 20-year-old Mhatre came close to hitting a century against RCB and also did well against SRH and MI.

Gaikwad's Injury a Big Blow!

Losing skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad added to the woes of the side. Many hoped that with Dhoni coming back as skipper would change the fortunes of the side but even he could do little with such limited resources.

CSK formula failed this season!

CSK have expected too much from Rahul Tripathi and Deepak Hooda. Their India experience might have earned them contracts with the franchise but they could never be the consistent match winners in pressure situations.

Rebuilding begins at CSK!

The rebuilding phase is underway at CSK with the introduction of fresh talent such as Ayush Mhatre, Shaik Rasheed, and Urvil Patel. Mhatre, just 20 years old, nearly scored a century against RCB and impressed in matches against SRH and MI as well. Though a late addition to the squad, Patel showcased his promise with a lively cameo against KKR. Their performances so far offer a glimpse of what could be expected in the next season.
