Rajasthan Royals delivered a clinical bowling performance to seize control in Match 3 of IPL 2026, bowling Chennai Super Kings out for just 127 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Opting to field first after winning the toss, RR executed their plans to perfection, leaving themselves a manageable chase of 128 to begin their campaign strongly and level the head-to-head record at 16-16.
 
Early Collapse Leaves CSK Reeling
 
CSK’s innings never quite got going as they lost wickets at regular intervals right from the start. Sanju Samson, making his debut for the franchise, failed to make an impact and fell early to Nandre Burger for 6. Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad also struggled for fluency, managing just 6 off 11 before being cleaned up by Jofra Archer.
 
 
The slide continued when Ayush Mhatre endured a painful stay at the crease, scoring 0 off 11 balls before falling to Burger. Matthew Short’s IPL debut also ended in disappointment, dismissed cheaply by Sandeep Sharma, as CSK limped to 40/4 at the end of the powerplay.
 
Middle-Order Fails to Stabilise
 
CSK’s middle-order failed to arrest the collapse despite brief resistance. Sarfaraz Khan showed some intent with a quick 17 off 12 balls but was trapped in front, while Ravindra Jadeja struck again soon after to remove Shivam Dube cheaply.
 
At 57/6, CSK were in deep trouble with no meaningful partnerships developing, as RR’s bowlers kept tightening the screws.
 
Lower Order Pushes Score Past 120
 
Kartik Sharma, the high-value uncapped signing, attempted to rebuild with a cautious 18 off 15 balls but couldn’t convert his start. Noor Ahmed struggled for timing and fell after scoring just 1, while Matt Henry’s brief stay ended at the hands of Ravi Bishnoi.
 
Jamie Overton then provided some late resistance with a fighting 43 off 36 deliveries, ensuring CSK crossed the 120-mark. However, his run-out ended the innings at 127 in 19.4 overs.
 
RR in Control Heading into Chase
 
With a target of 128, Rajasthan Royals are firmly in command and will back themselves to chase it down comfortably. Their disciplined bowling effort has already set the tone for what could be a winning start to their IPL 2026 campaign.

The coin flip for the match went in RR's way who opted to bowl first.  Captain's take after toss:  Riyan Parag (RR): We are bowling first. There's been a lot of rain. There's going to be some moisture. It feels nice (to be captaining), the support has been incredible. Hopefully a good campaign for us. The goal is to win the championship. We tried to have a lot of smart cricketers.  Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK): It was a no-brainer to bowl first. Nevertheless, we'd like to start positively. You saw how the last year went for us. We went to the auction with some strategy. Let's hope that they go really well. Our overseas players are Short, Overton, Noor and Matt Henry.  IPL 2026: RR vs CSK playing 11:  RR playing 11: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Riyan Parag (c), Shimron Hetmyer, Ravindra Jadeja, Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger, Sandeep Sharma, Ravi Bishnoi, Brijesh Sharma  Impact players: Donovan Ferreira, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Ravi Singh, Sushant Mishra, Tushar Deshpande  CSK playing 11: Sanju Samson (WK), Ruturaj Gaikwad (C), Ayush Mhatre, Matthew Short, Shivam Dube, Kartik Sharma, Jamie Overton, Noor Ahmad, Matt Henry, Anshul Kamboj, Khaleel Ahmed  Impact players: Sarfaraz Khan, Prashanth Veer, Rahul Chahar, Gurjapneet Singh, Ramakrishna Ghosh
