Listen to This Article
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.
