He said the move felt unusual for a team representing Rajasthan, although he acknowledged that the current captain Ryanparag From Assam.“Both teams play three games each at home. One of them is Rajasthan Royals and they don’t play at home at all. So far, I have never understood their story or what their system is. Their second home is in Guwahati. All three of their games are in Guwahati. I wonder what their connection is with Guwahati,” Chopra said on his YouTube channel.“The name of the team is Rajasthan Royals. Rajasthan is in the west of India. Guwahati is in the east of India. It’s understandable that Kolkata wants to go there because that’s their catchment area. You can still understand the Guwahati affiliation because Riyan Parag is the captain now, but this team has no connection with Guwahati,” he added.Meanwhile, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (Board of Control for Cricket in India)BCCI) recently announced the first phase schedule of the 2026 IPL season.
