SRH vs CSK Toss and Stats at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium –
The coin at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium could be decisive. Out of the 72 IPL matches played at this venue, only 32 times have the team won the first game and 40 times the chasing team has won. This means that teams batting first have a 44 percent success rate, while teams batting second have a 56 percent chance of winning. So the team that wins the goal here will want to enter the field first, see what the opposition score is, and then plan to chase. But the strong tendency to chase the target does not mean that teams that have won 25 times in the match will do the same thing as teams that have lost 37 times in penalty kicks.
