After a nail-biting encounter in Lucknow, our boys will lock horns with Rajasthan Royals (RR) in our upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday.

Under the leadership of Rishabh Pant, we will look to return to winning ways after our three-match winning streak ended with a hard-fought defeat to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Monday.

Captain Rishabh Pant led from the front with 63 off 49 balls, along with contributions from Mitchell Marsh (30), Ayush Badoni (22) and Abdul Samad (20) to help us post 166/7 in our 20 overs after we were put in to bat.

Defending 166, our bowlers picked up early wickets, before late heroics from Shivam Dube and MS Dhoni ended our winning run in IPL 2025.

Ravi Bishnoi was our standout bowler with two wickets, while the likes of Digvesh Rathi, Aiden Markram and Avesh Khan chipped in with one scalp apiece.

With four wins from seven matches, we are currently placed fifth on the IPL 2025 standings with eight points on the board.

Ahead of our crucial away game against the Royals, we have received a massive boost as our pace sensation Mayank Yadav has returned to training after recovering from his back and toe injuries.

Meanwhile, Nicholas Pooran has continued his magnificent form in IPL 2025. Our flamboyant southpaw is the current Orange Cap holder in the tournament with 357 runs in seven games at an average of 59.50 and a strike rate of 208.77. Pooran has already hammered four fifties in IPL 2025.

Apart from Pooran, our in-form opening duo of Marsh (295 runs) and Markram (208 runs) have made significant contributions with the bat in the ongoing T20 tournament.

In the bowling department, our star all-rounder Shardul Thakur has been our wrecker-in-chief with 11 wickets in seven matches at an average of 24.90.

Our spin sensation Digvesh has picked up nine wickets, while our spin wizard Bishnoi has eight scalps to his name.
