He suggested that the move felt unusual for a team representing Rajasthan, although he acknowledged that the current captain Ryan Prague Belongs to Assam.Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Two teams are playing three matches at home. One of them is Rajasthan Royals, who don’t play at home at all. I never understood their story till date. What is their system. Their home away from home is in Guwahati. All three of their games are in Guwahati. I wonder what they have to do with Guwahati.”“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 if Kolkata wants to go there, because it’s their catchment area. You can still understand the affinity with Guwahati because Ryan Prag is the captain now, but the team has nothing to do with Guwahati,” he added.Meanwhile, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently unveiled the schedule for the first leg of the 2026 IPL season.
