Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals LIVE Updates, IPL 2025: Punjab Kings (PBKS) won the toss and decided to bowl against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their IPL 2025 clash at Mullanpur on Saturday. Led by captain Shreyas Iyer, a new-look Punjab Kings have got off to the perfect start, winning their first two games convincingly.
Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting compared skipper Shreyas Iyer to a 'Rolls-Royce in third gear' after the skipper produced a measured half-century to shape his team's big win against Lucknow Super Giants. Ponting, in an interaction with his team, reminded the players to "not take anything for granted" during the IPL 2025 campaign. Iyer smashed 52 not out, his second unbeaten half-century in as many games, as PBKS overhauled the 172-run target in 16.2 overs for the loss of two wickets.
Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad will aim to get back on the winning track when they face each other on Thursday in a rematch of Indian Premier League 2024 final. Both the teams have had a poor start so far in the 2025 season. While both of them have won just one of their three matches played so far, KKR sit at the bottom spot in the points table, courtesy their poor net run rate. Both the teams will be desperate to revive their campaigns when they lock horns at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
Former New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson praised the Punjab Kings' balanced squad, cohesive playing style, and strong leadership after their victory over Lucknow Super Giants in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Williamson expressed his views while speaking on Jio Hotstar. The former New Zealand skipper particularly commended Shreyas Iyer for his confident and focused approach, which he said has been inspiring his teammates. Williamson was impressed by the team's ability to effectively utilise a diverse range of players, contributing to their strong start to the season.
After a title-winning campaign with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Shreyas Iyer has hit the ground running as the captain of Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. PBKS aren't just off to a perfect start to the new season, winning two games out of two; the said results have also come in a dominant manner. Iyer himself has led the franchise from the front, emerging as their top-scoring batter so far. With the victory against Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday, Iyer secured his 8th consecutive win as a captain in IPL, going past the legendary MS Dhoni.
Rishabh Pant, the costliest player in the Indian Premier League history, has had a forgettable start to the 2025 season. Around four months ago, the wicketkeeper-batter scripted history at IPL 2025 auction after Lucknow Super Giants bought him for a whopping sum of INR 27 crore. Not only in the IPL auction history, but also in the entire event, this was the first time that a player was signed for such a massive salary. However, has failed to live up to the expectations of the franchise so far, returning scores of 0, 15 and 2 in his three innings in IPL 2025 so far.
India and Punjab Kings pacer Arshdeep Singh has received huge praise from ex-India players Robin Uthappa and Aakash Chopra for his mid-innings interview during 8-wicket win over Lucknow Super Kings on Tuesday. PBKS put up a good all-round show to beat LSG in Lucknow and register their second consecutive win in Indian Premier League 2025. PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and opted to bowl. Led by Arshdeep, the PBKS bowlers restricted LSG to 171 for 7, with none of the LSG batters managing to reach the 50-run mark. Arshdeep was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3 for 43 in his quota of four overs.
A terrific piece of fielding caught attention during Lucknow Super Giants' home game against Punjab Kings in Indian Premier League 2025 on Tuesday. PBKS batter Prabhsimran Singh tried to play a slog-sweep but mistimed it. He ended up hitting it high in the air, keeping the deep mid-wicket fielder interested. Ayush Badoni was the man stationed there. He took the catch on the edge of the boundary line and released the ball from his hands before crossing the ropes. An aware Ravi Bishnoi was running towards his fellow fielder from deep square leg and managed to grab the ball thrown by Badoni, thus completing the catch. "Unreal Athleticism," wrote LSG while sharing the video on social media.
