Match Preview: Royals vs Super Kings

IPL 2025 is still in its early stages, but the Rajasthan Royals are already under pressure as they take on the in-form Chennai Super Kings in Guwahati. With back-to-back losses, RR find themselves winless and desperate to avoid a third straight defeat.

Chennai, meanwhile, are building momentum. After a strong win over the Mumbai Indians, CSK have shown excellent balance in all departments. Ruturaj Gaikwad is leading with calm authority, the top order is in sync, and the bowling attack has delivered under pressure.

The Royals are on shaky ground. This will be Riyan Parag’s final match as stand-in captain before Sanju Samson returns, and leadership can’t come soon enough. RR’s bowling lacks bite, their top-order starts have been sluggish, and their big hitters haven’t fired.

If there’s hope for Rajasthan, it lies with Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has previously thrived at this venue against CSK. But with Chennai’s deep spin arsenal — including veteran offie Ravichandran Ashwin — the Royals’ recent issues against slow bowling could haunt them again.

The Barsapara pitch in Guwahati tends to favor batters, especially under lights, with totals of 200+ common in first innings. The toss could be key — batting first might offer the advantage.

Predictions & Player Props

Ruturaj Gaikwad is in top form with scores of 42* and 53 in his last two outings. He’s also dominated the Royals in recent head-to-heads, tallying 98 runs in their last two clashes. Against a struggling new-ball attack, +100 for 30+ runs feels like strong value.

The Royals have failed to surpass 57 runs in the powerplay in either of their first two games, and with CSK likely to open with spin or slower bowling, that trend could continue. Take Under 57.5 runs in overs 1–6 at -110.

Ravichandran Ashwin is always a threat early in the IPL season. He’s taken 12 wickets across his first three matches in each of the past five campaigns, and he knows the Guwahati conditions well after playing for RR last season. At +430, he’s a great shout to be CSK’s top wicket-taker.
