IPL 2025: Rajasthan Royals seek batting boost vs RCB

Send Push
Jaipur: Rajasthan Royals are at a critical juncture in their campaign this season. With two wins in five matches and sitting seventh on the table, the Royals are eager to harness their home advantage and climb up. Royals now face Royal Challengers Bengaluru ( RCB ) on Sunday here at Sawai Mansingh Stadium .

Captain Sanju Samson will carry the RR batting. It is, however, missing Jos Buttler ’s explosive presence. Buttler’s departure after seven years in the franchise leaves a void at the top.

The current top order — Yashasvi Jaiswal, Samson, Riyan Parag and Nitish Rana — needs cohesion. Jaiswal’s struggle to find form and Rana’s sporadic heroics highlight the urgency for collective form.

RR: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (C/WK), Nitish Rana, Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Sandeep Sharma, Tushar Deshpande, Kumar Kartikeya.
