Preview

In the third match of the IPL 2026, Rajasthan Royals will take on Chennai Super Kings at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati on Monday, March 30. Riyan Parag will lead Rajasthan Royals after former captain Sanju Samson was traded to Chennai Super Kings, while Ravindra Jadeja returns to the Royals squad.

Rajasthan Royals had a poor season last year, finishing ninth with just four wins in 14 matches. Their batting will be led by Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shimron Hetmyer, and young talent Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. In the bowling department, Jofra Archer will lead the attack, supported by Ravi Bishnoi, Tushar Deshpande, and Adam Milne. Archer was their leading wicket-taker last season with 11 wickets.

On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings also had a disappointing campaign last year, winning only four out of 14 matches and finishing at the bottom of the points table. The five-time champions have made key changes to their squad, including bringing in Sanju Samson. Their bowling unit will be led by Noor Ahmad, with support from Khaleel Ahmed, Matt Henry, and Akeal Hosein. Overall, both teams will be eager to improve after a poor last season, making this an exciting contest for fans
