Sanju Samson Falls for 6 vs RR

In the IPL 2026 match between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Guwahati, Rajasthan made an early breakthrough after Nandre Burger dismissed Sanju Samson, leaving CSK one wicket down in the opening phase of their innings.

Earlier, RR captain Riyan Parag won the toss and decided to bowl first, putting Chennai into bat at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. CSK is being led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, while RR is hoping to start the season strongly after both teams finished at the lower end of the table in the previous edition.

The early wicket gave Rajasthan a strong start with the ball, as their bowlers looked to take control of the game. CSK, however, aimed to steady their innings and rebuild after the setback.

Chennai’s batting line-up will now need to focus on forming partnerships to avoid further pressure from the Rajasthan bowling attack. On the other hand, RR will try to maintain momentum by continuing to attack and pick up regular wickets.

With the match still in its early stages, both teams are looking to gain an advantage in this important season opener, and fans are closely following every moment of the contest.
