Rajasthan Royals (RR) will take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their next match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati on Sunday, March 30. After losing their first couple of matches on the trot, to kick-start their IPL 2025 season on a tough note, RR needed a victory, to not only get on the points table, but also gain some much needed confidence to perform well in the tournament.

RR vs CSK Pitch Report
The pitch at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati during the previous match of the IPL for RR in the 2025 season against KKR provided a lot of assistance to the spin bowlers, but the hosts weren’t able to take full advantage of it.

In the five IPL matches played at this venue, teams batting first and second have both won two matches each, while one ended in no result. The average first innings score here in the IPL is 138 runs.

RR vs CSK, IPL 2025 Match 11: Top Players to pick
