On Saturday, both CSK and RR lost their matches against Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore, respectively. 

While Rajasthan still has players like Rahul Tewatia, Jofra Archer and Shreyas Gopal who have been consistent, others have not been able to match the contribution, including skipper Steve Smith. 

Chennai has its own problems, skipper MS Dhoni looks completely out of touch and on top of that, injury woes keep the team tweaking its options. 

Chennai may drop Karn Sharma to bring Pitush Chawla and Kedar Jadhav might get replaced by Rituraj Gaikwad.
