RR vs CSK Live Score, IPL 2026: Nandre Berger of Rajasthan Royals celebrates the wicket of Sanju Samson of Chennai Super Kings.
RR vs CSK Live Score, IPL 2026: Rajasthan Royals took early control by removing both openers Sanju Samson and Ruturaj Gaikwad in the powerplay phase. Meanwhile, Ayush Mhatre also lost his wicket for a golden duck. Initially, Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag won the toss and opted to bowl against Chennai Super Kings in Guwahati. Both teams finished bottom last season and are new-look teams this year. Former RR captain Sanju Samson has moved to CSK in exchange for Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran. But Curran is out of this season due to injury. With Samson’s departure, Riyan Parag has taken over the captaincy and will hope for a strong start. Meanwhile, Ruturaj Gaikwad has regained the CSK captaincy from MS Dhoni, who is also likely to miss the first two weeks of this season due to injury. CSK will also be without Dewald Brevis, who was injured recently.
RR no longer has Wanindu Hasaranga and Mahesh Theekshana. Last season, this upset their balance as they had two overseas spinners. But now they have fixed that problem by including Jadeja and Ravi Bishnoi. RR also has Jofra Archer, Nandre Berger and Adam Milne in the fast bowling department.
CSK is facing problems in its bowling attack due to the injury of Nathan Ellis. They signed Spencer Johnson, but he is also recovering from injury. They have Matt Henry, and will expect him to deliver. Among other bowlers, CSK have the options of Akeal Hosein, Jack Foulkes, Khaleel Ahmed and Anshul Kamboj.

RR vs CSK Live Score, IPL 2026: What did the captains say?
RR vs CSK Live Score, IPL 2026: After winning the toss, RR captain Parag said, “We are bowling first. It has actually rained a lot here. So even though it is a red clay wicket, there will be some moisture in it. So we want to try to take it out in the first few overs and then see how we come back into the game. (On leading RR) It feels good. It feels very tremendous. I have been playing this for eight years. With the franchise now, I think the support has been incredible since I was 17, we have tried to have a lot of smart cricketers and people who have different skills, so we can adapt and play accordingly. We have four overseas plans.
Meanwhile, CSK captain Gaikwad said, “It was actually not a difficult task to bowl first. The wicket has been under cover for a long time, it has been cloudy, so we would have liked to bowl first, but still, we would like to start on a positive note. (On having a lot of youth in the team) Well, it was not something we had decided at the beginning of the cycle, but you saw how last year really went for us. And we thought we would carry on like this. There was something behind it. “With the strategy, buy them into the team and buy into the culture and hopefully it works out for our overseas players like Matt Short, Jamie Overton and Matt Henry. Hopefully if we get a good start, maybe the impact will come later on.”
