Jurel falls after quickfire cameo

RR 99-2 (8.3 Ovs) vs CSK 127 | SCORECARD

Overton comes into the attack and starts well with a yorker on off, but Jaiswal manages to squeeze out a single.

He follows it up with a guide to deep third for a single, and Jaiswal finishes the over with a boundary. Fourteen runs come off it, taking RR to 91 for 1 after 8 overs.

Kamboj continues, but Jurel wastes no time -- he welcomes him with a one-bounce boundary over long-on. RR are now running away with the game. Another couple of boundaries follow, one aided by a misfield in the deep, pushing RR to 99 for 1. They now need just 29 runs from 70 balls. But just when it seemed all one-way traffic -- wicket! Jurel drags one onto his stumps and is bowled. He departs after a quickfire 18 off 9 balls.

Kamboj continues, and Jaiswal nudges one to point for a single. Then comes the big moment -- taken at deep extra cover! Sarfaraz runs in, dives forward, and holds on to a fine catch. Sooryavanshi stands there for a moment, almost unwilling to believe it, before finally making his way back. It's the end of a stunning innings. He went hard at a length ball outside off, throwing his hands at it, but hit it flat -- straight into the Sarfaraz's hands.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi departs for a brilliant 52 off just 17 balls, leaving RR in a commanding position.

Dhruv Jurel walks in next and gets off the mark with a single.

22:06

Kamboj comes into the attack, and Jaiswal starts with a drive but is beaten. He manages to dab one towards square leg for a single.

A massive 15 runs come off it, taking RR to 55 without loss after 5 overs. They now need 73 from 90 balls, with Sooryavanshi blazing away on 38 off just 13 deliveries.

The final over of the powerplay, and Noor Ahmad is brought in. Jaiswal attempts a reverse sweep but misses -- Samson can't gather it either, and the ball races away for four byes. Jaiswal punches one to wide mid-off before picking up a single. Then Sooryavanshi takes over again -- launching a massive six straight into the stands, followed by another! He brings up a sensational half-century off just 15 balls.

The over ends with another big hit, making it 19 runs from it.

RR storm to 74 without loss after 6 overs, needing just 54 from 84 balls -- completely in control of the chase.

He attempts a pull but miscues it to midwicket -- Sooryavanshi looks for a run but is rightly sent back.

Jaiswal finishes the over with a flick to deep square leg for a single.

Six runs come off it, taking RR to 40 without loss after 4 overs. They now need 88 from 96 balls, firmly in control of the chase.

21:48

Sooryavanshi sparks RR start with big hits

RR 24-0 (2 Ovs) vs CSK 127 | SCORECARD

Khaleel comes from the other end and nearly appeals for an LBW but the umpire remains unmoved. Gaikwad consults with his bowler and goes for a review. Sooryavanshi had charged at a short-of-a-length delivery angling into the stumps but was beaten on the inside edge -- no bat involved. Replays confirm the ball would have gone over leg, so RR only manage a leg bye.

Jaiswal drives confidently to mid-on and is beaten on the next delivery. Khaleel bowls a slightly fuller delivery, wide of off, which Jaiswal wisely leaves alone. He then slaps the next ball to deep third man for a single. Sooryavanshi follows it up with a one-bounce four, showcasing his timing and power.

Six runs come off the over, leaving RR at 24 without loss after two overs. They need 104 runs from 108 balls -- plenty of cricket left, but the young guns are off to a commanding start.

21:42

Jaiswal, Sooryavanshi set the tone

RR 18-0 (1 Ovs) vs CSK 127 | SCORECARD

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi are out at the crease, with Jaiswal on strike as Matt Henry opens the attack.

A misfield from Sarfaraz lets Jaiswal off the mark with a quick couple of runs. He follows it up with a neat clip off the bottom hand to deep backward square leg for a single.

Now Sooryavanshi takes center stage, and the crowd's eyes are firmly on the young star. A tough chance comes his way, dropped by Kartik, and the ball races to the boundary -- no mistake there! Undeterred, Sooryavanshi hits a huge six over deep midwicket. A single to short third man follows, and Jaiswal finishes the over with a boundary.

A massive 18 runs off the first over, putting CSK under early pressure.

21:29

CSK crumble without Dhoni

CSK 127 all out (19.4 Ovs) vs RR | SCORECARD

Rajasthan Royals' bowlers put on a masterclass as Chennai Super Kings stumbled from the very first ball. CSK lost four wickets inside the powerplay, and by the end of 15 overs, RR had turned the match into a nightmare for the five-time champions.

Ravindra Jadeja looked sharp in pink, but Chennai's young side, without the calm presence of MS Dhoni, struggled on a tricky, moisture-laden pitch. Losing the toss only made matters worse -- once Ruturaj Gaikwad sent them in, RR's bowlers pounced.

Archer and Burger struck early, claiming three quick wickets, and Sandeep Sharma piled on the pressure by dismissing Matt Short at the end of the powerplay, leaving CSK reeling at 62 for 6.

Sarfaraz, CSKs impact sub, walked in 19 balls into the innings and looked steady, trying to anchor the innings.

But former CSK star Ravindra Jadeja had other plans -- he struck twice in his very first over, breaking the heart of the batting lineup.

Jamie Overton showed real courage down the order, taking a few hits on the body, and alongside Anshul Kamboj, he put together the last-wicket stand that nudged CSK past 120.

Even so, 127 is still well short of par, and Rajasthan Royals will feel confident chasing it on this tricky pitch.

21:23

CSK bowled out for 127

CSK 127 all out (19.4 Ovs) vs RR | SCORECARD

21:03

Burger, Brijesh keep up the pressure

CSK 93-8 (15 Ovs) vs RR | SCORECARD

He swings and misses the following ball, taking a hit on the elbow -- physio comes on for a quick check. A leg-side delivery is called wide, and Overton defends the final ball of the over. Four runs come off it, leaving CSK struggling at 86 for 8 after 14 overs.

Brijesh Sharma returns to the attack. Overton drives smartly towards deep point for a quick single, while Henry misses the next ball. A high full toss below the waist proves too tempting -- Henry gets a top edge and smashes a boundary after 28 deliveries. He follows it up with a single, and Overton finishes the over with another single. A brilliant dive from Jaiswal saves three runs.

Seven come off the over, taking CSK to 93 for 8 after 15 overs.

Brijesh Sharma is back into the attack. A shortish delivery on leg stump allows Kartik to sneak a single. The next ball, called wide down the leg, is followed by a smart nudged two to midwicket. But the breakthrough comes soon after -- Kartik is given out LBW!

He chats with Overton and opts for a review. Replays confirm it: the ball hit in line and he's gone. It's Brijesh Sharma's maiden IPL wicket, and CSK slip further in a tricky chase.

Kartik departs for 18 off 15 balls, and Noor Ahmad walks in as the new batter, ready to stabilise the innings. He defends the rest of the over.

20:30

CSK 57-6 (8 Ovs) vs RR | SCORECARD

Ravindra Jadeja comes in from the other end, facing the team he represented for so long.

Sarfaraz Khan attempts a sweep but only manages to chop it to backward point for no run. Jurel and Jadeja appeal confidently for LBW, and the on-field umpire gives it out. Sarfaraz chats with Kartik and opts for a review. Replays show he went for the sweep but missed -- the ball pitched in line and hit the wickets.

RR captain Riyan Parag and CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad stepped up for the toss.

Parag called tails, but the coin landed on heads! Rajasthan Royals have won the toss and decided to bowl first.

Riyan Parag said, The rain is a factor, even on a red-soil pitch. Captaincy feels great -- Ive grown from a 17-year-old into this role, and my teammates have been very supportive. Our goal is clear: win the championship. Through the auction and trades, weve focused on smart cricketers and allrounders. Our overseas stars are Burger, Archer, Ferreira, and Hetmyer.

Ruturaj Gaikwad said, Given the rain and conditions, it was a no-brainer to bowl first. Reflecting on last season, we went into the auction with a clear strategy -- building the team and its culture, and hoping it works. Our overseas players are Short, Overton, Noor, and Henry, and weve gone with seven batters in the lineup.

19:09

RR win toss, opt to bowl vs CSK

Pitch Report

The sky is starting to clear but the weather is still a bit uncertain.

Earlier overcast conditions have left some moisture on the outfield, which could give the pitch extra pace and bounce. The red-soil pitch has patches of green and brown, offering a fair balance between bat and ball. Seamers might get some early help, but once the surface settles, chasing could be easier.

19:02

Toss delayed in Guwahati

The toss has been delayed to 19:05 IST as the outfield is still wet.

All covers have been removed, and the sky is starting to clear, but the forecast isn't perfect.

Fans are keeping their fingers crossed, hoping the weather doesn't interrupt what promises to be an exciting game.

18:46

Will Sooryavanshi launch the biggest sixes?

As Rajasthan Royals gear up for their IPL 2026 opener, all eyes are on 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the U19 World Cup 2026 winner who has already taken the league by storm.

His childhood coach, Manish Ojha, recalls how Sooryavanshi's love for the game and relentless practice shaped him into the six-hitting prodigy he is today.

'In 2018, he came to the academy with his father for the first time. From the start, it was clear he had potential and a real passion for cricket. He always liked to attack while batting and had beautiful timing. In every session, he would play 400-500 balls and wouldn't stop unless I gave him a break,' Ojha said.

Ojha also remembers Sooryavanshi's fearless approach in longer net sessions.

'In 2022, during the open net sessions, he was given a 40-over slot to bat, 20 overs from new-ball bowlers and then spinners. I noticed he preferred to play only big, lofted shots. I told him that as he progresses to U-16 and U-19 cricket for his state, he will have to face hundreds of deliveries and play long, because it starts with four-day cricket there. If you go for a big shot on every ball and ignore singles or doubles, you increase your chances of getting out. But he would say, 'Sir, if I can hit a six on that ball, why take a single?''

Sooryavanshi's fearless style has already made history. Last season, he smashed a 35-ball century against Gujarat Titans, becoming the youngest T20 centurion and the fastest Indian centurion in IPL history.

Now, he faces Chennai Super Kings in Guwahati, and fans are excited to see him continue his remarkable journey. The young star also shared his inspirations growing up.

'I saw both, Brian Lara and Yuvraj Singh, finish matches single-handedly. If they were in, there was no chance for the opponent to come back into the game, and that was something I really liked about them,' he said.

Looking ahead, Sooryavanshi is focused on team success first.

"When I was picked, my only goal was to give the team a good start. I wanted to play my game in the Powerplay, and if I got a good start, I wanted to continue and play long without giving my wicket away. I knew that if I played my shots, the scenario of the game would change, because chasing 200-plus runs would not be easy for any team. This season, the goal is to win the trophy for the team. My performances and the team's performances will automatically get highlighted if we win the trophy, and that is the most important thing.'

With his fearless batting, record-breaking feats, and focus on team glory, Suryavanshi is poised to be one of the standout stars of IPL 2026.

18:36

Rain clouds hover over Guwahati match

The Barsapara Cricket Stadium saw some drizzle earlier but the pitch is safely under cover.

With just 30 minutes to go before the toss, fans are hoping the skies stay clear for what promises to be an emotional and thrilling encounter.

18:11

Will rain steal Samson, Jadeja's spotlight?

Fans in Guwahati are in for a treat as Rajasthan Royals take on Chennai Super Kings in Match 3 of IPL 2026 on Monday.

But this isn't just any game -- there's an emotional twist. Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja will be facing their former teams, making this a reunion many have been eagerly waiting for.

Samson, now in Chennai colours, and Jadeja, going up against old teammates, are set to light up the field both with their skills and the added drama of the encounter.

Of course, fans will also be watching the skies. Guwahati is expected to be mostly cloudy, with a slight chance of rain. Short showers are possible, but it looks like the match will go ahead as planned.

If the weather holds, Samson and Jadeja will get the perfect stage for this highly anticipated reunion.
