The Indian Premier League 2025 is steadily moving into a crucial phase, and the Rajasthan Royals (RR) are gearing up for a high-stakes clash against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). The fixture is scheduled for April 13, 2025, at 3:30 PM IST and will be hosted at the iconic Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
RR, led by the in-form Riyan Parag, have had a mixed run so far. However, this match against a strong RCB side presents an opportunity to establish momentum in the tournament. A win here wouldn’t just earn them two valuable points, but would also signal that they are serious contenders this season. RCB, known for their aggressive brand of cricket and consistency this year, have been one of the standout teams in IPL 2025.
The Royals will be banking on their strong core and explosive domestic players. Sanju Samson’s experience behind the stumps and with the bat will be key, while the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Nitish Rana will be expected to provide a solid top-order foundation. Riyan Parag’s form and leadership have been promising, and with the finishing firepower of Shimron Hetmyer and Dhruv Jurel, the Royals can post or chase down any total.
On the bowling front, the team looks dangerous with international experience and flair. Jofra Archer’s pace and aggression, complemented by the spin duo of Maheesh Theekshana and Kumar Kartikeya, give RR balance across conditions. Wanindu Hasaranga adds the X-factor, while Tushar Deshpande will look to strike early with the new ball.
