CSK IPL 2026 schedule: CSK Start Season Against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati
Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will start their Indian Premier League 2026 campaign on March 30 against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati.
Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and his team will look to bounce back after a disappointing IPL 2025 season, where CSK finished at the bottom of the table for the first time in their history.
The team has made some big changes this season. CSK released Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran, and added Sanju Samson to their squad. While the batting line-up looks strong, the bowling attack is relatively inexperienced, which could be a concern for the team.
