Now, as RR searches for redemption and their first win, CSK looks to bounce back from a disappointing loss in their previous game.
The second match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at Guwahati is set to take place at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on March 30, where Rajasthan Royals (RR) will go head-to-head with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at 7:30 PM. Cricket enthusiasts are in for a thrilling encounter, with the spotlight once again on MS Dhoni, whose presence continues to captivate fans worldwide.
The first tournament at Guwahati witnessed on March 26, with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) emerging victorious against Rajasthan Royals. Now, as RR searches for redemption and their first win, CSK looks to bounce back from a disappointing loss in their previous game.
RR has had a rocky start, losing both of their opening matches. Skipper Riyan Parag is under immense pressure to secure a win before handing over the captaincy to Sanju Samson. Although Yashasvi Jaiswal, Samson, and Parag have shown promise with the bat, none have managed to convert their starts into big scores. A match-winning knock from one of the top three could turn the tide for the Royals.
Middle-order batsman Dhruv Jurel has shown glimpses of brilliance, but he needs more support from his teammates. Meanwhile, the bowling unit, spearheaded by Jofra Archer, has underperformed. Maheesh Theekshana, Sandeep Sharma, and Tushar Deshpande have displayed flashes of potential but must step up to provide consistent breakthroughs. If RR fails to rectify their issues quickly, their early-season slump could deepen into a crisis.
CSK started IPL 2025 on a positive note but faltered in their last match at home. Rachin Ravindra has been in exceptional form, but Rahul Tripathi needs to step up his game to provide stability at the top. Deepak Hooda and Sam Curran have yet to make a significant impact with the bat, and a collective effort will be crucial for CSK to return to winning ways.
On the bowling front, Noor Ahmad has been a revelation, while Khaleel Ahmed has impressed with the new ball. CSK’s spin department, led by Ravichandran Ashwin, will be key in restricting RR’s batting lineup. However, fielding errors cost them dearly in their last match, and they must tighten up to avoid giving away crucial runs. On paper, CSK appears to have an edge, but RR’s desperation for a victory makes this an unpredictable contest.
