RR vs CSK, IPL 2025: Toss result and playing 11s for today’s match, umpires list and pitch report

Rajasthan Royals (RR) face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in match 11 of IPL 2025 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. RR have made a disappointing start to their IPL 2025 campaign, losing both the matches they have played. It has been a mixed bag for CSK. They got the better of Mumbai Indians (MI) by four wickets but went down to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by 50 runs.

RR were hammered by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by eight wickets in their previous match in Guwahati. Sent into bat, they came up with an extremely mediocre performance to be held to 151-9. KKR cruised home in the chase in just 17.3 overs as Quinton de Kock clubbed 97* off 61 balls.

CSK suffered a shock loss against RCB at Chepauk on Friday - their first home defeat against the Bengaluru franchise in the IPL since 2008. Bowling first, Chennai conceded 196-7. They were poor in the field and inconsistent with the ball. In the chase, Ruturaj Gaikwad and co. never got going and ended up scoring an underwhelming 146-8 in their 20 overs.

Today's RR vs CSK pitch report

“The pitch is similar to the one used other night. It is compact and has a sheen, but it is dry. The middle overs could be crucial for the bating team especially against quality spin bowlers. This might not be a 200-run wicket, but expect a great game of cricket.” - Daren Ganga and Shane Watson
