The IPL 2026 fever reaches the northeast! For Match 3, the action moves to the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, the secondary home of the Rajasthan Royals (RR). It’s a clash of the titans as the five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) take on the inaugural winners in what promises to be a tactical masterclass between Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson.
With both teams desperate to start their campaign with a “W,” the fast-paced track in Guwahati is set to witness a high-scoring thriller on March 30, 2026.
Barsapara is known for its flat deck and lightning-fast outfield.
Chennai Super Kings Full Squad: Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, Daryl Mitchell, Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Maheesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana, Tushar Deshpande, Shardul Thakur, Sameer Rizvi, Mustafizur Rahman, Mukesh Choudhary, Simarjeet Singh, Prashant Solanki, Shaikh Rasheed, Nishant Sindhu.
Rajasthan Royals Full Squad: Sanju Samson (c), Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Navdeep Saini, Kuldeep Sen, Nandre Burger, Donovan Ferreira, Kunal Rathore, Shubham Dubey, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Abid Mushtaq.
While RR has the advantage of the local conditions and “home” crowd in Guwahati, Chennai Super Kings look more balanced with their spin-bowling all-rounders. However, given the dew factor, the chasing team has a 65% chance of winning.
