Rajasthan Royals (RR) will look to clock their first win of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season when they take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday evening. This is the match no-11 of the current campaign and will be played at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati, Assam, India.
Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings Match Preview
Rajasthan Royals would have never thought about the tough start they may have had to endure before the start of the IPL 2025 season. After all, they lost only twice in the first nine games last season and finished third in the group stage, level on points with second-placed Sunrisers Hyderabad. But this season, they have lost both their opening two games and sit at the bottom of the table. Though it’s still early in the campaign, losing three straight games could really deflate their campaign before we reach even a quarter of the season.
Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, suffered their first defeat of the current campaign against the high-flying Royal Challengers Bangalore. That 50-run defeat would hurt Ruturaj Gaikwad and Co even more as it came in their own backyard. Having said that, every team suffers some hiccups here and there, and CSK would hope that they can turn the negatives of the last match into a positive with a win against Rajasthan in this match.

RR vs CSK Dream11 Prediction: Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
Pitch Report: Expect good batting conditions at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati Assam. The last game played at this venue was not a good reflection of how good the surface is at this venue. The low score made by Rajasthan was down to their own batting failure rather than the pitch being hard to bat on.
Dream11 Combination: Sanju Samson will play only as an Impact Player, while choosing MS Dhoni could be a risky option.
Weather Report: No chance of rain in Barsapara, in Guwahati, Assam on Sunday March 30, 2025.

- Sanju Samson: Pure match winner. The Indian wicket-keeper batter is more than capable of turning any game on its head with his batting alone.
- Ruturaj Gaikwad: Despite the CSK captain failing to impact the match in his last outing, he remains one of the most consistent batters for the five-time champions.
- Yashasvi Jaiswal: India’s young batter may not have started the IPL 2025 season as we were expecting, but there’s no doubt that he remains a match winner.
- Rachin Ravindra: Has started the IPL 2025 season in good form. He should be in your RR vs CHE Dream11 teams as he can also impact the match as a bowler as well.
