Chennai Super Kings started their IPL 2026 campaign today with the game against Rajasthan Royals at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati. However, Ravindra Jadeja is not playing for the five-time champions and instead has turned up for Rajasthan Royals. Here's why:
Dewald Brevis was a major absentee for the Chennai Super Kings in their IPL 2026 opener against the Rajasthan Royals at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. Brevis's absence leaves CSK with a big void to fill. Check why he is not playing this clash.
A Chennai Super Kings playing XI without MS Dhoni is rare, extremely rare but we will have to get used to it now. That's what has happened in the RR vs CSK clash as the 45-year-old veteran has missed the clash at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati. Here's why Dhoni is not playing today:
Pakistan star Fakhar Zaman continues to find himself in controversy. After being accused of carrying an injury to the T20 World Cup, the southpaw has found himself in trouble yet again in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and is now likely to face a ban for one or two matches. Here's why:
The weather is likely to play a major role as the Rajasthan Royals face Chennai Super Kings in Guwahati, with rain threatening to disrupt the IPL 2026 clash. Drizzle and high chances of precipitation at Barsapara Stadium raise the possibility of a shortened game or even a washout.
MS Dhoni has been the backbone of Chennai Super Kings since the IPL began in 2008, leading them to five title triumphs. However, he is set to be a rare absentee when CSK take on Rajasthan Royals in their IPL 2026 opener.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will start their campaign in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) edition today against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati. MS Dhoni and Dewald Brevis are set to miss due to injuries and that will impact the balance of the side a lot. Here's CSK's predicted playing XI:
MS Dhoni is likely to miss out on playing in the first two weeks of the Indian Premier League 2026 as he is rehabilitating from a calf injury. Dhoni has stayed in Chennai and has not travelled with the team to Guwahati for their game against the Rajasthan Royals.
Bangladesh fans will have to make do without the live telecast of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) edition. India's JioStar has ended its IPL broadcast agreement in Bangladesh and has ruled out any chance of telecast in the country this year.
