Match details

Fixture: Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore
Date & Time: April 24, 2025, 7:30 PM IST
Venue: M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru

Probable XI for RR

Vaibhab Suryavashi, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Nitish Rana, Riyan Parag (C), Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Wanindu Hasaranga, Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Kumar Kartikeya, Tushar Deshpande.

The Rajasthan Royals are likely to field a balanced lineup that combines youthful aggression with experienced campaigners. Sanju Samson, who has been a constant source of stability for the team, will continue to lead the side. 

Alongside him, the opening duo of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Nitish Rana will aim to give the team a solid start with their attacking intent. Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel will provide stability and depth in the middle-order, while Shimron Hetmyer brings explosive finishing capabilities. The bowling attack is strong, with Jofra Archer leading the pace charge, supported by Maheesh Theekshana’s mystery spin and Wanindu Hasaranga’s wicket-taking abilities. 

Head-to-Head: RR vs RCB

The head-to-head between RR and RCB shows a slight edge to RCB, who have won 16 of the 33 encounters, compared to RR's 14 wins. The highest scores indicate that both teams have the firepower to post huge totals, with RR’s highest score being 217 and RCB’s highest being 200. 

However, both teams have also struggled with batting collapses, as seen in their lowest scores; RR’s lowest score stands at 58, while RCB’s lowest is 70. This makes it clear that while both teams have explosive batting lineups, they also have vulnerabilities that can be exploited.
