Hello, and a very warm welcome to our live coverage of Match 3 of IPL 2026, coming to you from the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Assam, where Rajasthan Royals take on Chennai Super Kings tonight.
Both sides will be eager to turn the page after underwhelming campaigns last season, but this contest carries an added emotional edge. Familiar faces line up against former colours, with Ravindra Jadeja and Sanju Samson set to face teams they once called home.
There’s also a shift in leadership for Rajasthan, who have handed the captaincy to Riyan Parag, ushering in a new chapter, while Samson begins his journey in Chennai colours, adding another layer of intrigue to an already compelling clash.
