IPL 2025 RR vs RCB | Visiting Royal Challengers will pose a stiff challenge to stuttering Royals

Royal Challengers Bengaluru faces Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025, with RCB looking to maintain their strong away record.

After experiencing the high from scaling the unassailable peaks in Chennai and Mumbai, it was a sobering experience for Royal Challengers Bengaluru when it lost both its matches at home.

The disheartening six-wicket defeat at the hand of Delhi Capitals in the last outing undid some of the momentum RCB had gained at the start of IPL 2025.

However, on Sunday at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Royal Challengers will get another opportunity to extend their good away record when they take on a stuttering Rajasthan Royals.

But the visitor certainly has to improve on all fronts to win at a venue which hasn’t been intimidating for it.

Batting has been RCB’s strength with Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar and Devdutt Padikkal looking good on surfaces suiting their styles. The Bengaluru outfit will be hoping that the wicket in Jaipur will maximise its strength.

Royals haven’t had the best of starts this season. After mixed returns from their two games in Guwahati, Royals will be hoping for a turnaround at their original home.

Sanju Samson & Co. have looked short of firepower in both departments.
