Rajasthan Royals would be keen to avoid a hat-trick of defeats and secure their first of the IPL 2025 season at their secondary home ground in Guwahati, when they face five-time champions Chennai Super Kings today evening (March 30).
After suffering a loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad in their opening match, the Royals fell to Kolkata Knight Riders on Wednesday in a low-scoring encounter, losing by eight wickets.

In contrast, the Super Kings celebrated a victory in the opener against Mumbai Indians but faced their heaviest defeat at home against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Friday night. This was only their second-ever loss to RCB at the Chepauk, and first in 17 years.
Chennai will find some comfort in the slower pitch at Guwahati, which could benefit their spinners more than the conditions at home.
