RCB vs RR LIVE Updates, IPL 2025: Virat Kohli and Phil Salt eye a solid start for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their IPL 2025 match vs Rajasthan Royals at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Earlier, RR's stand-in captain Riyan Parag won the toss and opted to bowl first.
Rajasthan Royals head coach Rahul Dravid on Wednesday cited cases of players joining new franchises and consequent lack of familiarity with the conditions as a plausible reason for teams complaining about the lack of home advantage in this IPL. Several teams such as Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Chennai Super Kings, Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders had expressed unhappiness about the nature of pitches at their respective home venues.
Struggling to find form in their own den, Royal Challengers Bengaluru will look to regain control of their IPL campaign at home when they meet a floundering Rajasthan Royals on Thursday. RCB's three defeats at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in as many matches offer one of the biggest paradoxes of this edition. An outfit that has steam-rolled opposition in all parts of the country has been left chasing shadows in their own backyard. The RCB batters have appeared strangely subdued and their bowlers seem to have forgotten the lengths to adopt here.
Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru LIVE Updates, IPL 2025: Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Rajat Patidar won the toss and elected to field against hosts Punjab Kings in their IPL match on Sunday. Fifth placed RCB have brought in Romario Shepherd in place of Liam Livingstone, who was bought by them for Rs 8.75 crore.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings LIVE Updates, IPL 2025: Toss for the IPL 2025 match between RCB and PBKS has been delayed due to rain at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The cut off time for toss is 10:41 PM while 10.56 PM is that for the start of play. There was some drizzle in the lead up to the game, before the downpour got heavier. The form of Virat Kohli and Phil Salt at the top has been a big positive for RCB, who currently sit third with eight points from six matches. PBKS are behind them on fourth, but only on Net Run-Rate. Both teams are likely to remain unchanged. PBKS will be high on confidence after their 16-run win over KKR in a recent low-scoring thriller. (Live Scorecard)
Royal Challengers Bengaluru's push for a maiden home victory this season will depend on their batters taming the canny Yuzvendra Chahal in the IPL match against a supremely confident Punjab Kings in Bengaluru on Friday. Chahal, in the company of off-spinner Glenn Maxwell, will have noticed Bengaluru batters' struggle against slow bowlers R Sai Kishore (2/22, Gujarat Titans), Kuldeep Yadav (2/17) and Vipraj Nigam (2/18, both Delhi Capitals) here, especially once the field was spread out.
The best thing about time is that it changes. This phrase, often used by people to comfort their close and loved ones during times of distress, surely holds true for Punjab Kings (PBKS) and their captain Shreyas Iyer. From Kolkata to Mullanpur, PBKS, yet to lay hands on an Indian Premier League (IPL) title, provided fans with unpredictability, entertainment and an opportunity to be a part of two big milestones of league's history. Last year at Eden Garden's, in Kolkata, when Iyer was captaining KKR, his men were taken down brutally by a Jonny Bairstow-powered PBKS during a successful run-chase of 262 runs, the highest-ever run-chase in T20 cricket history.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) spinner Kumar Kartikeya has dismissed any rumours of a feud with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) talisman Virat Kohli during their IPL 2025 encounter. Kartikeya and Kohli had a mild misunderstanding during the game, causing the spinner to receive a glare from the RCB maestro. However, speaking after the game - which RR lost to RCB after an unbeaten 62 by Kohli - Kartikeya confirmed that there was no serious argument between the two. In fact, Kohli had walked up to him and praised him for his bowling.
