RR Breaks 12 Year Old Record in the IPL: In the third match of IPL 2026, Rajasthan Royals registered a spectacular victory by defeating Chennai Super Kings by 8 wickets in a one-sided fashion. In this match played at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, Rajasthan achieved the target of 128 runs in just 12.1 overs. With this win, the team registered the biggest win in its IPL history in terms of balls, with 47 balls remaining. Earlier, Rajasthan’s biggest win came against RCB in 2014, when the team finished the match with 42 balls to spare. In this way Rajasthan also broke the 12 year old record.

16th win against Chennai

With this victory, Rajasthan Royals achieved another big achievement against Chennai Super Kings. Now Rajasthan, along with Punjab, has become the second team to defeat Chennai the most number of times, 16 times. Whereas in this list, Mumbai Indians is at the first place, which has defeated Chennai the maximum number of 21 times.

RR’s biggest win in terms of balls remaining:

  • Against CSK in 2026 (47 balls)
  • Against RCB in 2014 (41 balls)
  • Against KKR in 2023 (41 balls)
  • Against KTK in 2011 (35 balls)
  • Against CSK in 2008 (34 balls)

Chennai’s batting was a complete flop

In the match, Rajasthan captain Riyan Parag won the toss and decided to bowl first, which proved to be completely correct. Chennai Super Kings, who came to bat first, had a very bad start. Both opener Sanju Samson and captain Ruturaj Gaikwad were out early after scoring 6-6 runs.

In the middle order, Sarfaraz Khan (17) and Karthik Sharma (18) tried to handle the innings for some time, but could not play big innings. In the end, Jamie Overton scored 43 runs in 36 balls to take the team to a respectable score, but he did not get much support from the other end. The entire team was reduced to 127 runs in 19.4 overs. For Rajasthan, Nandre Berger, Joffra Archer and Ravindra Jadeja bowled brilliantly by taking 2 wickets each.
