Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra recently raised concerns over the Rajasthan Royals' choice to host three IPL matches in Guwahati, questioning the relevance of the location to the team. Chopra highlighted the significant geographical distance between Guwahati and Rajasthan, as well as the lack of a historical connection between the two regions. Despite Riyan Parag's Assamese roots, Chopra found it peculiar that the franchise would shift a substantial portion of its home fixtures away from Jaipur, where it traditionally represents. The decision has sparked discussions among fans and experts alike, with many wondering about the strategic implications and fan engagement aspects of the move. It remains to be seen how the Rajasthan Royals navigate this unconventional decision and whether it pays off in terms of performance and support from their loyal fan base.
