CSK vs RR Head to Head Record: Chennai Super Kings will take on the Rajasthan Royals in Match 62 of IPL 2025. The two teams have had a long history of competing against one another. A rivalry that started in 2008 might not seem like a rivalry at all, seeing how CSK has won five league titles compared to RR’s one. But they are surprisingly close in head-to-head competition.
As of now, they have faced one another 31 times. They have faced off in every season of the Indian Premier League (besides 2016 and 17, when both of them were suspended together). The following are the head-to-head records of these two teams.

While chasing 164 runs, RR stumbled but reached the target on the last ball of the game and became the inaugural champions of this league.
Shane Watson has been the best batter in this rivalry. In 19 matches while representing both RR and CSK at different points in time, he scored 711 runs at an average of 39.50 and a strike rate of 152.90, even scoring a century in 2018 while playing for Chennai.
As for the best bowler, Ravindra Jadeja has played in a CSK vs RR match 22 times, representing both teams at some points. In those 22 games, he has taken 21 wickets with an average of 23 and an economy of 7.10. In IPL 2015, while playing for CSK, he took his best figures in this rivalry of 4/11.
