RR vs CSK My11Circle Prediction: Rajasthan Royals will face off against Chennai Super Kings in a crucial IPL 2025 encounter on Sunday, March 30 at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati.
The Royals are under pressure after suffering back-to-back defeats, and with this potentially being Riyan Parag's final game as captain, a turnaround is imperative. On the other hand, CSK will be eager to bounce back following a disappointing loss in the Southern derby against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Date: March 30, 2025
Time: 7:30 PM IST
Venue: Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati
Matches Played: 30
Rajasthan Royals Wins: 14
Chennai Super Kings Wins: 16
Riyan Parag is expected to lead RR for one last time with Sanju Samson likely playing the Impact Player role once again. With Nitish Rana failing to impress, Shubham Dubey may be handed a bigger role in the middle order. Yudhvir Charak could be a valuable addition due to his all-round capabilities. Overseas options remain limited (only six in the squad), and the Royals are likely to continue with the same foreign quartet.
CSK may opt for changes following their defeat to RCB. Deepak Hooda is likely to be dropped after back-to-back failures, with Vijay Shankar in contention to replace him. Devon Conway, who has recovered, could slot in for Sam Curran to bolster the top order. CSK could also rethink MS Dhoni's batting position after his late entry in the previous match drew criticism.
