RR vs RCB Match Prediction, Captaincy Prediction, Best 11

RR vs RCB Match Prediction: On Sunday afternoon, Rajasthan Royals will play their first match of the season at their original home venue, Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, having played two “home” games in Guwahati already. They will be hosting Royal Challengers Bengaluru in match no. 28 of IPL 2025.

Both teams have been inconsistent in the competition. While they have recorded some solid victories, their defeats have been deflating. RR have won two out of five matches and RCB have won three out of five. Interestingly, while RCB have won all their three games away from home, they have struggled in both their home games at the Chinnaswamy.

In this game, RR would be looking to pounce RCB in Jaipur, while Rajat Patidar’s side would be aiming to continue their winning streak away from home.

RR vs RCB pitch report:

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur offers a balanced pitch. Batsmen can ransack boundaries comfortably in the powerplay but as the ball gets older, batting starts to get challenging. The average innings score here in the IPL is 162, and the average winning score is 174.

RR vs RCB Dream11 captaincy prediction:

RCB skipper Rajat Patidar is our preferred Dream11 captaincy choice for this clash against RR. Patidar has started the tournament with a couple of match-winning knocks away from home against CSK and MI. RCB would be hoping that their skipper can produce another crackerjack innings.

Patidar would be crucial for RCB’s chances in this game considering he’s is an excellent hitter of spinners and the opposition has two high-quality international spinners in Hasaranga and Theekshana.
