Rajasthan Royals (RR) face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the third match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Monday, March 30, 2026. Sanju Samson, now with CSK, is set for an emotional clash against RR, who he captained for more than a decade. MS Dhoni is not playing today's match due to a calf strain injury that has ruled him out of the first two weeks of the league. Also under scanner is the weather, with some rain at the venue in the lead-up to the toss. For RR, Samson's departure signals the end of an era and the beginning of another under Riyan Parag who will begin his captaincy stint playing at his home ground.

Jannik Sinner capped off a dominant run by defeating Jiri Lehecka 6-4, 6-4 in the Miami Open 2026 final at Hard Rock Stadium. The Italian broke early in both sets and controlled proceedings with his consistency and strong return game, never allowing Lehecka to settle despite brief resistance. Playing his first Masters 1000 final, Lehecka showed flashes of quality but struggled to convert key moments against Sinner’s relentless pressure. With this win, Sinner completed the “Sunshine Double,” having also won Indian Wells, and remarkably did not drop a single set across both tournaments.

Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli became the youngest-ever Formula One championship leader on Sunday. The 19-year-old secured his second consecutive victory at the Japanese Grand Prix 2026.
