Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings will lock horns in Match 3 of the Indian Premier League at the Baraspara Stadium in Guwahati, Assam.
After an abysmal performance last year, where both the franchises finished at the bottom of the table in 2025, both RR and CSK will look to make amends to that unforgettable season. In line with that vision, both the franchises have a revamped squad. Big names like Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja have switched sides ahead of the season. For CSK, the season will be about proving themselves and securing that playoff spot, having missed the spot on back-to-back occasions.

Rajasthan Royals won the toss and decided to bowl first.
