Guwahati. Rajasthan Royals won the toss and decided to bowl first against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the third match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 on Monday. Here today Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag won the toss and decided to bowl first.

After the toss, Ryan said that it has been raining and there is a possibility of more rain even though it is a red clay pitch. It feels good to be captain. My journey since I was a 17-year-old player has been special and my teammates have supported me completely. The goal is to become champion. We have selected players wisely during the auction and trade, especially all-rounders.

Berger, Archer, Ferreira and Hetmyer are our foreign players. Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said that considering the rain and conditions, we would have bowled first. We saw how last year was for us, so we thought we would go into the auction with a fixed strategy. Add players to the team who fit the team environment, hopefully it will work out. Short, Overton, Noor and Henry are our foreign players. Today we are going with seven batsmen.

Both the teams are as follows:-
Rajasthan Royals (XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Riyan Parag (captain), Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Shimron Hetmyer, Ravindra Jadeja, Joffra Archer, Nandre Berger, Sandeep Sharma, Ravi Bishnoi and Brijesh Sharma.

Chennai Super Kings (XI): Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Ruturaj Gaikwad (captain), Ayush Mhatre, Matthew Short, Shivam Dubey, Karthik Sharma, Jamie Overton, Noor Ahmed, Matt Henry, Anshul Kamboj and Khaleel Ahmed.
