IPL 2019: From MS Dhoni to Ravindra Jadeja - CSK players who eye major landmarks against Rajasthan

Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings are two teams at the opposite ends of the spectrum. They two will collide at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on April 11 (Thursday).

While the MS Dhoni-led side has won five out of their six games and are currently at the top of the table, Rajasthan are at No. 7 spot with just one victory to their name in five encounters. 

After having tremendous wins home ground Chepauk, Chennai will now play four consecutive away matches in the space of 10 days.

While the team as a whole has put on an excellent show, its players are also breaking records. 

CSK skipper MS Dhoni is just a win away from achieving a major landmark. Dhoni will become the first-ever captain in IPL cricket to win 100 matches, i.e if CSK wins in Jaipur. 

MS Dhoni currently has 99 wins as captain from 165 matches at a staggering win percentage of 60.36. The captain has won 28 more than Gautam Gambhir, who is second on the list with 71 wins (129 matches).

Not just MSD, other players including Shane Watson and Ravindra Jadeja are eying major milestones.

Watson needs another 31 runs to complete 1,000 T20 runs at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. The big-hitting Australian who has been struggling a bit will want to make sure he can achieve this landmark.

As for Indian all-rounder Jadeja, the bowler needs two more wickets to complete 100 wickets in the Twenty20 league. The left-arm spinner has been a consistent performer for CSK and could grab this opportunity to reach the milestone.

As the teams, there is no update on Rajasthan Royal's Samson but the home team might bring in one of Vohra or Turner into the XI. For CSK, Dwayne Bravo is out with injury and the visiting team will most probably add an extra seamer in place of Harbhajan.
