IPL 2025, Rajasthan Royals vs Punjab Kings Match Preview:In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Punjab Kings (PBKS) today face Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Sawai Mansingh Stadium. This match is very important for Punjab in terms of playoffs. At the same time, the team of Rajasthan Royals has failed to overcome average performance despite being full of resources in this season.
After a week, when the thrill of the IPL returns to Jaipur again, the Punjab team, captained by Shreyas Iyer, would like to leave behind that scary night of May 8, when their match against Delhi Capitals in Dharamshala was incomplete due to tension on the Indo-Pak border. The players had to return to the dressing room in the dark.
Punjab, ranked third in the points table, has 15 points from 11 matches and they will be hoping that their mandatory break does not cause any obstruction in their rhythm.
