Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are squaring off in match 3 of the Indian Premier League 2026. The RR vs CSK encounter got underway on Monday, March 30, at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.
Both teams have young players in the leadership roles. Riyan Parag, who led RR in a few games last season, has been appointed as the full-time captain in IPL 2026. Ruturaj Gaikwad could only play five games last season due to an injury and has been retained as CSK captain once again.
RR and CSK will also aim for a big comeback after a dismal performance last year. Both of them won just four games and lost 10 out of 14 last season, and finished in the last two spots in the points table.
Last year, Rajasthan crushed Chennai in both encounters. Overall, Chennai have won 16 games while Rajasthan have won 15 out of 31 encounters. Hence, both teams have equal records in the head-to-head clash.
In the match 3, RR won the toss and opted to field first. Both teams have named five impact players for the clash, one of whom can play a crucial role.
