Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings play the third match of IPL 2026 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Monday, 30 March, with a 7:30 pm local start.
Rajasthan are captained by Riyan Parag and have Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Sam Curran and Ravindra Jadeja in their squad, alongside Jofra Archer and Sandeep Sharma. Chennai, led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, include MS Dhoni, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, Dewald Brevis, Noor Ahmad and Khaleel Ahmed.
The ground tends to reward batters, but it is not always a flat 200-plus track, and the average first-innings score is around 175–180. Pacers may move the ball early before conditions ease, and teams winning the toss often prefer to field. Our preview picks Chennai Super Kings to come out on top.
