Resolution criteria

The match will be played on March 30 in Guwahati at Barsapara Cricket Stadium. Resolution will be determined by the official result on JioHotstar or Star Sports Network. The winner is the team that scores more runs in their 20 overs. If the match is abandoned or no result is declared, the market resolves N/A.

Background

Both teams finished at the bottom in IPL 2025 and have undergone significant changes, with Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja swapping teams. Jadeja faces his former team while Samson could find himself up against the side he was leading last season. Riyan Parag will make his debut as RR's full-time captain in front of his home crowd. MS Dhoni is undergoing rehabilitation and will miss the match. In head-to-head IPL matches, RR has won 15 of 31 encounters while CSK has won 16.

Considerations

The Barsapara pitch typically favors teams bowling first, with chasing becoming easier under lights due to dew, and average first-innings scores around 150–160.
