IPL 2025: When is RR’s Next Match? All you need to know about their Opponent, Probable XI, & head-to-head stats

Rajasthan Royals (RR) put up a superb fight against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Kolkata in their last game. But they lost the game by just one run and all of their efforts went in vain. With another loss, the season continues to be a dismal one for RR and they are currently sitting in the eighth spot with six points in 12 games, with a net run rate of -0.718. 

Playoff contention is completely out of their reach and hence, all that RR fans might want is for their team to end the season with some wins. Their next clash is against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Chennai on 12 May. CSK are at the bottom place with just four points in 11 games, with a net run rate of -1.117.   

Match details

Fixture: Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals
Date & Time: May 12, 2025, 7:30 PM IST
Venue: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai

RR Probable XI 

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Kunal Rathore, Riyan Parag (capt), Dhruv Jurel (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Wanindu Hasaranga, Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Yudhvir Singh, Akash Madhwal.

RR are most likely to show faith once again in their young opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Kunal Rathore might find it tough to get a place, but it will be a harsh call if he gets dropped after just one failure. 

Then, captain Riyan Parag will be there—and what a knock he played at the Eden Gardens. Single-handedly, he was leading the chase and brought back the momentum in favour of his team. 

Dhruv Jurel will be the wicketkeeper-batter while Shimron Hetmyer will be the finisher. Two spinners will be Hasaranga and Theekshana. Three pace-bowling options will be Archer, Yudhvir, and Akash. Shubham Dubey is expected to be the impact sub and he also impressed against KKR in their last game.

Head-to-Head record   

These two have locked horns with each other on 30 occasions so far in the IPL. CSK have a slight edge with 16 wins compared to RR’s 14 wins. In the last five matches, RR have won four times while CSK have won only once. In the reverse fixture earlier this season, RR defeated CSK by six runs.
