PBKS vs RR IPL 2025: Rajasthan Royals delivered a dominant all-round performance to hand Punjab Kings their first defeat of IPL 2025, sealing a comprehensive 50-run win in Mullanpur. After being asked to bat first, RR opener Yashasvi Jaiswal found his form with a brilliant 67 off 45 balls, ably supported by Sanju Samson’s aggressive 38 and a composed 43* from Riyan Parag. Their combined efforts powered RR to a daunting total of 205/4.
Punjab’s reply was disastrous from the outset, with Jofra Archer making an immediate impact by tearing through their top-order. PBKS slumped to 43/4 within the powerplay, putting them on the back foot early. Nehal Wadhera fought back valiantly with a gritty 62, and alongside Glenn Maxwell (30), gave the home fans some hope with a solid 88-run partnership. However, once that stand was broken, Rajasthan’s bowlers – especially Sandeep Sharma and Maheesh Theekshana – tightened the screws, ensuring PBKS never recovered.
The Kings ultimately limped to 155/9, falling well short of the target. With this result, Rajasthan Royals picked up their second win in a row and issued a strong statement to the rest of the league with both their batting firepower and bowling depth.
