As both teams are already out of playoff contention and occupying the bottom two places in the league table, the match will have no competitive impact on the race to the playoffs.
However, it will mark the Delhi homecoming of MS Dhoni after more than two years, and may very well be his penultimate IPL game, with rumours of retirement flying at the age of 43.
Five-time champions CSK have had a season to forget in IPL 18, currently languishing at the bottom of the table with just three wins in 12 games. The Super Kings are without a host of international players, and with no replacements signed up, will need to refresh their lineup.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals are also having a poor showing this season and recently suffered a 10-run loss to Punjab Kings in their last outing. RR have signed Lhuan-dre Pretorius to replace the injured Nitish Rana, while Jofra Archer is sidelined for the remainder of the campaign.
