aibhav Suryavanshi, at 14 years and 23 days, has become the youngest player to make his IPL debut, for Rajasthan Royals (RR), as Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) won the toss and elected to bat first in Match 36 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium here on Saturday.
Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants LIVE Updates, IPL 2025: Skipper Sanju Samson has been rendered doubtful after picking up a side strain as an inconsistent Rajasthan Royals seek to plug holes across departments and halt a three-match losing streak in their IPL match against Lucknow Super Giants at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur on Saturday. With just two wins from seven games, the Royals are languishing in the second half of the table and are coming into the contest on the back of a gut-wrenching Super Over defeat to Delhi Capitals.
Rajasthan Royals faced a shocking defeat against Delhi Capitals in their previous IPL 2025 match on Wednesday. It was the first IPL match since 2022, where the winner was decided in the super over. After the loss, RR faced severe criticism from cricket pundits and fans for their poor strategy, which eventually led to their loss. During the match against DC, RR also suffered a big blow as their skipper Sanju Samson was forced to retire hurt after getting hit on his chest on Vipraj Nigam's delivery.
In the IPL 2025, bat checks are becoming quite common. While in earlier editions it was not the norm, this time umpires can be seen checking the width of the bats before a batter enters the ground. Already, two Kolkata Knight Riders players Sunil Narine and Anrich Nortje failed to pass the bat test. Umpires have been checking the bats with a gauge through which the willow must pass in order to eradicate the use of oversized bats. The same thing happened during Rajasthan Royals' IPL 2025 match against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitely Stadium in Delhi on Wednesday. RR batter Riyan Parag's bat was checked twice by the umpires and coach Rahul Dravid's expression during the incident could not be missed.
Former Indian cricket team star Krishnamachari Srikkanth brutally roasted Rajasthan Royals after their loss against Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2025 match on Wednesday. The match turned out to be an interesting one as it became the first game of the season to go into a super over. While chasing 189, RR were restricted to 188/4 in 20 overs as the match went into a Super Over, where DC emerged victorious in just four balls. It was DC's fifth win in six matches while it was the fifth loss for RR after seven games.
As Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson battled fitness issues at the start of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, Riyan Parag was given the team's leadership baton. Though Samson was fit to bat the first few games, he didn't have the fitness required to keep or be an outfield player. Hence, the management used him only as an Impact Player. Seeing Parag get the team's captaincy responsibility in that situation was baffling for many.
Riyan Parag was left fuming over a controversial dismissal during the IPL 2025 encounter between Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans. In the 7th over of the RR innings, Parag was dismissed by Kulwant Khejroliya but the batter was not convinced with the umpire's decision. Parag went chasing after a ball outside the off-stump and edged it to Jos Buttler behind the stumps. The on-field umpire gave it out but Parag quickly went for a review. The replays showed that bat made some contact with the ground but the snickometer showed disturbance just before it happened. As a result, the third umpire decided to stick with the on-field call but that ended up angering the batter. Parag got into an argument with the umpires and even slammed his bat on the wall of the tunnel to the dressing room.
Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson was fined Rs 24 lakh after his team maintained a slow over-rate during the IPL 2025 encounter against Gujarat Titans on Wednesday. It was a bad day for RR as they were completely outplayed by GT and the Samson-led side slumped to a 58-run defeat. Samson was fined for breaching the IPL code of conduct and this was the second time that RR maintained a slow over-rate during this year's competition. Earlier, following the match against Chennai Super Kings, stand-in captain Riyan Parag was fined Rs 12 lakh. "The rest of the members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, will be fined either INR six lakhs or 25 per cent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser," an IPL media release read.
