<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="csk-vs-rr-match-preview"><strong>CSK vs RR Match Preview</strong></h2>



<p>After having a ball of a time, Rajasthan Royals (RR) have hit a slight roadblock, however, there is nothing to stress about. The Sanju Samson-led side is nicely placed at the second spot in the IPL Points Table, with 8 wins from 11 matches. They are likely to proceed to the IPL 2024 playoff comfortably.</p>



<p>If the inaugural champions manage to win at least one of their remaining three matches, they will be through to the next stage of the tournament, joining KKR, who qualified last night. </p>



<p>On the other side, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are in a spot of bother. They need to win all of their remaining matches to be in contention. Even if CSK wins both of its matches, the net run rate will come into play, given that Delhi Capitals also wins both of its games.</p>



<p>So, not only does CSK need the win, but they need huge wins to keep up their net run rate, which will eventually take them through to the <a href="https://iplt20.com">IPL</a> 2024 playoffs. </p>



<p>The last six games have resulted in four losses and just two wins for the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led CSK. Though they started well in the tournament, they somehow kept slipping away to be where they are today. </p>

<p>RR vs CSK Dream11: The 11th match of the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will be played between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) on March 30 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. The match will start at 7:30 PM as per the scheduled time. Let's take a look at the CSK vs RR Dream11 team before the match.</p>
<p>This match will be important for both the teams because Rajasthan has lost both its matches so far, while Chennai also suffered a crushing defeat in its last match.</p>
<p>Rajasthan has lost both the matches played so far, due to which questions are being raised on the leadership of captain Riyan Parag. Their last match was against Kolkata Knight Riders, in which they faced defeat. If Rajasthan has to remain in the playoff race, then they will have to win this match.</p>
<p>Chennai has won one and lost one of its first two matches. In the last match, they had to face defeat by 50 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Captain Rituraj Gaikwad will expect better performance from his bowlers, especially the spinners, as the pitch of Guwahati can help the spinners.</p>
<h2><strong>RR vs CSK: Head-to-Head Record in the Indian Premier League</strong></h2>
<p>A total of 29 matches have been played between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR), in which CSK has won 16 times, while RR has been successful in 13 matches. There have been many exciting matches between the two teams, especially in the 2008 final when Rajasthan won on the last ball</p>
<h2><strong>RR vs CSK: Pitch Report and Weather Forecast of Guwahati</strong></h2>
<p>Pitch Report: So far, five IPL matches have been played in Barsapara. The team batting first here won two matches and the teams chasing the target also got two wins. One match did not result in a result. The highest score in Barsapara is 199/4, which was made by Rajasthan in 2023.</p>
<p>The lowest score here is 142/9, made by Delhi Capitals . The average score of the first innings in Guwahati is 138. Balanced matches have been seen on this ground. It is not easy to score big in Barsapara. Here bowlers often dominate more than batsmen. The spinners can be seen in full form on the pitch which is considered slow.</p>
<p>Weather Report: Now let's talk about the weather, there is almost no chance of rain during this IPL match to be held on March 30. The weather is going to be clear here during the match. According to the weather report, there is only 0 percent chance of rain till the match starts. However, it may be cloudy in the afternoon. The humidity is likely to be up to 41 percent during the match.</p>
<h2><strong>RR vs CSK: HOT PICKS for the Dream 11 fantasy team</strong></h2>
<p><span style="color: rgb(241, 196, 15);"><strong>Ruturaj Gaikwad:</strong></span> CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad ended the previous edition of the IPL as the second highest run scorer with 583 runs to his name in 14 games. He started off this season with a good half century versus the Mumbai Indians. While he wasn't able to do much versus RCB, he is looking in good form and will certainly be a good pick for the Dream 11 teams.</p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(185, 106, 217);"><strong>Yashasvi Jaiswal:</strong></span> Highly rated batter Yashasvi Jaiswal will open the batting for the Rajasthan Royals versus Chennai. He scored a total of 435 runs in 15 games last season and his presence at the top makes RR's batting a force to reckon. While he hasn't had an ideal start to the season, scoring just 30 runs in two games, he will eventually regain his touch and the match versus the five-time winners might be the one where he regains his destructive mojo. He will be a really good pick versus CSK.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: rgb(185, 106, 217);">Sanju Samson:</span></strong> Sanju Samson will open the innings for RR and also scored a fifty in the match versus Hyderabad. Back him to perform well again and make sure to pick him in your dream 11 teams.</p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(241, 196, 15);"><strong>Shivam Dube:</strong></span> Left-hander Shivam Dube is a middle order batter who bats with an aggressive intent in the middle overs and he can attack the spinners from the word GO. He will be a handy pick for your Dream 11 teams.</p>

Rajasthan vs Chennai: Rajasthan Royals and the Chennai Super Kings are going to take on each other today in Guwahati | Image: X

The IPL 2025 clash between RR and CSK on March 30 in Guwahati (7:30 PM IST) is crucial for both teams—RR seeks their first win, while CSK aims to bounce back after a loss. CSK leads head-to-head (16-13). The slow Barsapara pitch favors spinners, with an average score of 138. Key players include Gaikwad (CSK), Jaiswal (RR), Samson (WK), and Jadeja (spin threat). For Dream11, prioritize all-rounders and spinners, with captaincy picks like Samson or Rachin Ravindra. Clear weather expected. A tight contest likely!

The 11th match of the IPL 2025 between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be played on March 30 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati (7:30 PM IST). RR has lost both of its opening matches, putting pressure on captain Riyan Parag, while CSK comes off a heavy 50-run defeat against RCB. Historically, CSK has an edge over RR, winning 16 out of their 29 encounters, including a thrilling 2008 final.

The Barsapara pitch is expected to assist spinners, with an average first-innings score of 138, making bowlers crucial. The weather will be clear, with no rain expected, though humidity may play a role. Key players to watch include Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK), who started the season strongly, and Yashasvi Jaiswal (RR), who seeks form after a slow start. Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube are also strong fantasy picks due to their aggressive batting. Spinners like Ravindra Jadeja, Noor Ahmed, and Maheesh Theekshana could dominate, while pacers like Mathisha Pathirana and Sandeep Sharma may also play decisive roles.

For Dream11, combinations featuring Samson (WK), Gaikwad, Jaiswal, Jadeja, and Dube are recommended, with captaincy choices leaning toward Rachin Ravindra or Samson. Given the pitch conditions, stacking the team with spinners and all-rounders could be a winning strategy. Both teams will aim for a turnaround, making this a high-stakes encounter.

RR vs CSK Dream 11 Prediction: Best Dream 11 teams, Player Choices, Captain picks and more

<p>The second match of the double header will be played on March 30 (Sunday) in the 11th match of Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Both the teams have players who can create problems for each other and affect the result of the match. Many interesting mini battles can be seen in this match, which will further increase the thrill of the game.</p>
<h2><strong>RR vs CSK: 2 Players Battles to watch out for</strong></h2>
<h4><strong><span style="color: rgb(243, 126, 213);">Sanju Samson </span>vs <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(241, 196, 15);">Khaleel Ahmed</span></strong></h4>
<p>Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson has been giving a mixed performance in IPL 2025 so far. He has played some good innings, but the team will now expect more consistency from him. Since Rajasthan's batting looks weak this season, Samson's performance will be very important.</p>
<p>But he will have to face the challenge of Chennai Super Kings' in-form fast bowler Khalil Ahmed. Khalil has taken many early wickets this season on the basis of excellent swing and accurate line-length with the new ball. If Khalil dismisses Sanju early, then problems can arise for Rajasthan.</p>
<p><strong>Who will dominate?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>If Sanju Samson plays cautiously with the new ball and gets through Khalil's initial overs, he can play a big innings.</li>
<li>At the same time, if Khalil uses his swing and speed properly, he can dismiss Sanju early and give Chennai a big lead.</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong><span style="color: rgb(243, 126, 213);">Dhruv Jurel </span>vs <span style="color: rgb(241, 196, 15);">Noor Ahmed</span></strong></h4>
<p>Rajasthan Royals' young batsman Dhruv Jurel has proved to be one of the most reliable batsmen of the team this season. He has scored runs for his team in difficult situations and is playing the role of a finisher. In this match, he will face Chennai's main spinner Noor Ahmed, who is an expert in trapping batsmen in the middle overs.</p>
<p>Noor Ahmed has troubled the opposition batsmen a lot with his varied bowling this season. He deceives the batsmen with googly and slower balls and is an expert in taking wickets. Dhruv Jurel, who usually takes an aggressive stance against spinners, will not find it easy to face Noor Ahmed's bowling.</p>
<p><strong>Who will dominate?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>If Dhruv Jurel bats aggressively against Noor Ahmed and puts him under pressure, Rajasthan can benefit.</li>
<li>But if Noor Ahmed can outwit Jurel with his googlies and flighted deliveries, he could get a big wicket for Chennai.</li>
</ul>

The RR vs CSK clash features key player battles that could decide the match. RR captain Sanju Samson faces a tough test against CSK's in-form pacer Khaleel Ahmed, whose swing bowling threatens early breakthroughs. Meanwhile, RR's finisher Dhruv Jurel must counter Noor Ahmed's tricky spin variations in the middle overs. Samson surviving Khaleel's spell or Jurel dominating Noor could swing momentum Rajasthan's way, while CSK will aim to win these individual duels to control the game. These matchups add thrilling subplots to the contest.

The RR vs CSK clash in Guwahati on March 30 promises exciting player battles that could decide the match. Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson, who has shown flashes of brilliance but lacks consistency, will face a stern test against CSK's Khaleel Ahmed, whose swing and accuracy with the new ball have troubled batsmen this season. If Samson survives Khaleel's early spell, he could anchor RR's innings, but an early dismissal could leave them vulnerable. Another key duel will be between Dhruv Jurel, RR’s reliable finisher, and Noor Ahmed, CSK’s crafty spinner known for his deceptive variations. Jurel’s aggressive approach against spin will be challenged by Noor’s googlies and flighted deliveries—if he counters well, RR could gain momentum, but if Noor outsmarts him, CSK could tighten their grip. These mini-battles will add an extra layer of intensity to the contest.

<p>However, Ashwin made a clever comeback after the powerplay, deceiving Rana with a well-timed pause before delivering the ball, leading to a smart stumping. Noor Ahmad further dented RR’s innings by removing Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel in quick succession.  </p>
<p>Despite losing wickets, Riyan Parag was determined to finish strong, but Matheesha Pathirana had other plans. The Sri Lankan pacer produced a sensational yorker to castle Parag and later dismissed Shimron Hetmyer, ensuring RR couldn’t breach the 200-run mark.</p>

<p>Chennai Super Kings pulled things back well, restricting Rajasthan Royals to 182, a competitive total on a surface offering some assistance to the spinners.</p>
<p>Jofra Archer made an immediate impact for Rajasthan Royals with a fiery opening spell, dismissing Rachin Ravindra for a duck. While wickets kept falling around him, Ruturaj Gaikwad fought hard and brought stability to CSK’s innings with a determined half-century.</p>

<p>Wanindu Hasaranga emerged as the biggest threat to Chennai, striking in every over and keeping the batters guessing with his sharp googlies. Interestingly, each of his three wickets came right after the batter had hit him for a six, highlighting his quick adaptability under pressure.</p>

<p>With 45 needed off the final three overs, CSK still had a chance with MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja at the crease. However, Maheesh Theekshana delivered a tight over, conceding just five runs, shifting the momentum towards Rajasthan.  </p>
<p>In a bold tactical move, RR handed the final over to Sandeep Sharma instead of Jofra Archer, a decision that proved decisive. Despite late efforts from Dhoni, Jadeja, and Jamie Overton, CSK could only manage 13 runs in the last over, falling short by six. Rajasthan Royals held their nerve in the dying moments to secure a hard-fought victory.</p>
