Earlier, Rajasthan skipper Rahul Dravid won the toss and opted to field against Super Kings.

Rajasthan made two changes, bringing in Stuart Binny and Vikramjeet Malik in place of Sreesanth and Ajit Chandila. CSK have retained the same playing eleven.

Playing their last match on home soil, Rajasthan would look to upstage top-placed title contenders Chennai. A win for the home team will surely take them into the playoffs.

Rajasthan's citadel has been breached just once in the tournament so far when they were outplayed by Mumbai Indians.

Chennai, on the other hand, are already in the playoffs, yet they will be going all out for a win, if not to assert their supremacy then at least to ensure they finish among the top two teams.

The batsmen in both the teams are in sparkling form. The only thing that gives a slight advantage to Chennai is their bowling.

Teams:

Rajasthan Royals: Rahul Dravid, Ajinkya Rahane, Shane Watson, Brad Hodge, Sanju Samson, Dishant Yagnik, Stuart Binny, James Faulkner, Siddharth Trivedi, Kevon Cooper and Vikramjeet Malik.

Chennai Super Kings: Michael Hussey, Murali Vijay, Suresh Raina, S Badrinath, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, Chris Morris, R Ashwin, Mohit Sharma and Jason Holder.
