In the third league match of IPL 2026, the teams of Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings will be on the field. This match will be played on Monday, March 30 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. This match will not be easy at all for Chennai, captained by Ruturaj Gaikwad, because there is news of injury to the team’s veteran player MS Dhoni and star batsman Dewald Brevis.
While sharing a post on Dhoni’s official social media, CSK had said that he will not be able to play for about 2 weeks due to injury. After this, a report claimed that Dhoni will be out of the first 6 matches.
Whereas in the report regarding the injury of Dewald Brevis, it was said that he may not be available for the first 2-3 matches of the team. The absence of both the players will be a big headache for Chennai. Without these players, the team’s playing 11 may look very weak. Dhoni’s experience, while Brevis’s explosive batting could have proved effective for the team.
Both teams will enter with changes
Both Rajasthan and Chennai teams will take the field with changes. Sanju Samson, who earlier played in Rajasthan, has become a part of Chennai through trade. In place of Sanju, Ravindra Jadeja has entered Rajasthan, who was earlier a part of Chennai. Now it will be interesting to see how these changes prove to be for both the teams.
