IPL 2025: When is RR Next Match? All you need to know about their Opponent, Probable XI, & head-to-head stats

Rajasthan Royals (RR) have had a disappointing start to their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 campaign, facing two consecutive losses. Their season opener against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) ended in a crushing 44-run defeat, exposing their bowling frailties. Following that, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) outclassed them with a convincing eight-wicket victory. Despite promising individual performances, RR's inability to build consistent partnerships and execute plans under pressure has left them languishing at the bottom of the points table. With captain Riyan Parag under immense scrutiny, RR will be eager to turn things around in their upcoming clash against Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

Opponent and match details

On the other hand, CSK have made a strong statement this season, securing a thrilling four-wicket win against Mumbai Indians (MI) in their first match. Riding on the experience of their seasoned campaigners and the brilliance of their young talent, CSK look like a formidable side once again. They currently sit comfortably in the top half of the points table and will be keen to continue their winning momentum against a struggling RR.

• Date: Sunday, March 30

• Time: 7:30 PM IST

• Venue: Barsapara Stadium, Guwahati

Barsapara Stadium, known for its batting-friendly pitch, could offer high-scoring opportunities. Spinners may come into play in the latter half, making middle-over partnerships crucial. CSK’s experienced bowlers and RR’s hard-hitting top order will be key factors in the match.

Probable XI for the Royals

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag (c), Nitish Rana, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Shubham Dubey, Jofra Archer, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Tushar Deshpande, Sandeep Sharma, Akash Madhwal.

Head-to-head record

The head-to-head record between these two teams indicates a closely contested rivalry. Out of the 29 matches played, CSK have claimed victory in 16 encounters, while RR have managed 13 wins. Chennai’s highest score against RR stands at 246, while Rajasthan's best against CSK is 223. However, RR will draw motivation from their past successes and the unpredictable nature of T20 cricket.
