RR predicted playing XI vs CSK: Chennai Super Kings will be playing their first away match of the season. They will be facing Rajasthan Royals at ACA Stadium, also known as Barsapara Stadium, in Guwahati. It will be a crucial contest for the Rajasthan Royals, as they have lost both of their initial matches in the IPL 2025. They will be looking to bounce back from the bad form. The lack of all-rounder and overseas player depth is visible, and RR would be looking to work with the combination as well.
Riyan Parag to lead
Since Sanju Samson is coming out of the injury, Riyan Parag will be leading RR for the third match. Sanju Samson will play but he will be coming as an impact sub. Riyan will be leading the team for the third time. He has captained the side on two previous occasions, where the team strived for a win.
Nitish Rana to be dropped?
From the first two matches, it is evident that Nitish Rana is not in form. The batter has had a bad outing on both occasions so far. Rajasthan Royals might play a gamble on replacing him. However, as he’s a senior player, the franchise might try again, showing trust in him.
