RR vs CSK Match 3, Cricket Tips: Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings will be up against each other in the next game of the IPL 2026. These two teams will be in action on Monday at 7:30 PM IST at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. This is the first game for both sides this season.

CSK will be without MS Dhoni and Dewald Brevis, who are injured. But Sanju Samson's inclusion will add much-needed experience for CSK at the top. On the other hand, Ravindra Jadeja's entry will provide great balance, as RR have missed a quality all-rounder for a long time now. There are plenty of superstars who will be in action; it will be a high-voltage contest.

RR vs CSK: Ground Pitch Report

The wicket in Guwahati is batting-friendly, and it is a high-scoring venue. It is an excellent wicket to bat on, and batters will get full value of their shots. The good bounce and pace make it hard for the bowlers to execute, because with a small error, batters can cash in. However, slower ones and cutters are the ideal balls to go with.
