CSK and RR Ready for a Thrilling Clash in Guwahati
Rajasthan Royals (RR) will be desperate to turn their fortunes around as they face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their third IPL 2025 match at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati on March 30. Both teams are coming off defeats, making this a crucial contest for regaining momentum.
RR have endured a disastrous start, suffering back-to-back losses. Their campaign began with a brutal drubbing by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), where their bowling unit was dismantled, conceding a record-breaking 286 runs the highest-ever total in IPL history. Their struggles continued against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), as their batting collapsed for just 131 runs, leading to an eight-wicket defeat.
Under intense scrutiny, captain Riyan Parag faces mounting pressure to revive the team’s sinking campaign. A win against CSK is not just about points but about restoring confidence before their season spirals further downward.
Meanwhile, CSK started strong, defeating Mumbai Indians in a thrilling opener. However, they suffered a setback in their second game as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) handed them a rare home defeat by 50 runs at Chepauk.
For skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, the loss exposed key vulnerabilities, particularly in the bowling department, which struggled in the death overs. With a strong batting lineup featuring Gaikwad, Shivam Dube, and MS Dhoni, CSK will look to bounce back and capitalize on RR’s struggles.
The contest in Guwahati promises high stakes, with RR fighting for survival and CSK eager to correct their course in IPL 2025.
