Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings: Samson and Jadeja clash

Sports: Rajasthan Royals will begin their campaign against five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Chennai Super Kings at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati on Monday.
Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja will face their former franchises in this match. Samson will play for Rajasthan Royals, whom he captained and represented for almost a decade, while Ravindra Jadeja will also play against his former team Chennai Super Kings.
Samson is in excellent form, having played a key role in India’s T20 World Cup 2026 victory. He, along with captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, will be crucial for CSK. Super Kings will miss MS Dhoni for at least two weeks due to a calf strain.
