The Rajasthan Royals will begin their IPL 2026 campaign on Monday, March 30. Led by Riyan Parag, RR will take on CSK in their first match of the season at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati. 

The Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings had a forgettable 2025 season in the IPL. While the Super Kings claimed the bottom spot, RR were ninth on the list with only four wins. 

Moving on to this game, CSK will miss the services of the legendary MS Dhoni, who has been reported to miss at least six IPL 2026 matches. On the other hand, RR have already replaced Sam Curran with Dasun Shanaka and would be keen to get a winning start at their backyard. 

Ahead of the match, here is a look at the RR vs CSK Dream11 prediction, the fantasy cricket tips, the top player picks and the best-predicted teams for the fantasy contests of the match.

Hot Picks For RR vs CSK Dream11 Team Today- IPL 2026, Match 3

Rajasthan Royals

Yashasvi Jaiswal

• Destructive opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal enjoyed stellar success in the IPL last season, amassing 559 runs at an average of 43 and a strike rate of 159.71. 
• He can anchor the innings perfectly and torment the CSK bowling attack once he gets set. His ability to dismantle both pace and spin makes him a must-pick in the RR Vs CSK Dream11 prediction team. 

Nandre Burger

• With Sam Curran ruled out of the IPL 2026, the Rajasthan Royals will likely include Nandre Burger as their frontline seamer to assist Jofra Archer. 
• The South African fast bowler can swing the new ball up front and pose a serious threat to the CSK top-order. Considering his ability to make the new ball talk in the powerplay, we reckon Nandre Burger should make it into the RR Vs CSK Dream11 prediction team. 

Shimron Hetmyer

• West Indies middle-order batter Shimron Hetmyer is expected to emerge as RR's go-to man in the middle overs. Hetmyer recently showcased remarkable form in the T20 World Cup 2026, slamming 248 runs at an average of 41.33 and a strike rate of 186.47. 
• His red-hot recent form and ability to tear apart medium pace and spin bowling make Hetmyer a certain starter in the RR Vs CSK Dream11 prediction team. 

Chennai Super Kings

Sanju Samson

• Swashbuckling Indian batter Sanju Samson recently played a pivotal role in the T20 World Cup 2026, scoring 321 runs at an average of 80.25 and a strike rate of 199.38. 
• He is in great touch and can be a threat to the Royals' bowling camp if he gets set in the middle. 
• Additionally, Sanju Samson will keep wickets in MS Dhoni's absence and could give crucial points through dismissals behind the stumps. 

Shivam Dube

• Just like Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube was one of the chief architects of India's historic T20 World Cup triumph this year. The CSK ace overshadowed Hardik Pandya with the bat, contributing 235 runs to India's tally. 
• Dube will be the go-to batter for the Super Kings in the middle and death overs. His clean-hitting skills, as well as the ability to chip in with a few overs, make him a must-pick in the RR Vs CSK Dream11 prediction team. 

Ruturaj Gaikwad

• Reliable Indian batter Ruturaj Gaikwad has been magnificent with the bat for CSK over the years. 
• Gaikwad is one of the sweetest timers of the ball and could be a headache for the Royals in the Super Kings' IPL season opener.

Barsapara Stadium, Guwahati- Record of chasing teams

The Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati generally offers excellent batting conditions. However, the chasing teams don't have a great record at the venue, losing three of five IPL matches. 

Having said that, the surface in Guwahati is expected to be fresh, and therefore, the fast bowlers might get a hint of movement early with the new ball. 

So, although the chasing sides have lost three out of five games, the toss-winning team might still opt to chase in the RR Vs CSK IPL 2026 match.
