Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals: Season So Far

These two teams came into this season with very different expectations. Rajasthan, after three good seasons, was looked upon as one of the weaker teams after the IPL 2025 auction. On the other hand, Punjab has not made it to the playoffs in a decade but was still looked at as one of the strongest squads in the league post-auction.

The Kings have had a great start to the season. In their opening match, their batting shone as they ended up scoring 243 runs and winning by 11 runs against the Gujarat Titans. Then came the game against the Lucknow Super Giants, which PBKS won fairly comfortably, too. With two wins and four points in two games and the best net run rate in the league, the Punjab Kings are at the top of the league table.

As for the Rajasthan Royals, they have not had the best start to the season. In their opening game, the Royals were thrashed by the Sunrisers Hyderabad, conceding 286 runs in 20 overs. Then came a big loss against the defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders. RR’s fortunes turned in their most recent game as they finally registered their first win of the season against the Chennai Super Kings. With two points and one win in three games and a poor net run rate, the Royals are currently ninth on the points table.

Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals: Teams And Captains

Both these two teams have quite explosive batting attacks. This is an area where the two sides match. It is the bowling where, on paper, the Kings have a distinct advantage. Both sides have solid wrist-spinners and ace pacers in their team, but the pair of Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh is more proven in the IPL compared to Wanindu Hasaranga and Jofra Archer.

Shreyas Iyer became the second-most-expensive player in league history in the 2025 IPL auction. This season, he is proving his worth as a player and a skipper. He came into this competition after being India’s leading run scorer in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. In the two games played so far, not only has Iyer scored two half-centuries, but he has led his team to be the most dominant in the league.

As for the Royals, they will now see their regular captain take the reins again as Sanju Samson returns to full-time play. While he did play in the first three RR games this season, he was used as an impact sub and only batted, with Riyan Parag taking charge and Dhruv Jurel standing behind the stumps. But now, Sanju will bat, keep wickets, and captain the side.
