New Delhi: It’s rivalry week in IPL 2025, and the action now shifts to the iconic Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, where Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are all set to lock horns with Rajasthan Royals (RR). The last time these two teams met, RCB registered a dominant 9-wicket victory over RR with 15 balls to spare.
Riding on that momentum, RCB currently sits at 4th place on the points table with 10 points from 8 matches, winning 5 of them. They come into this clash with confidence after taking revenge on their earlier defeat to Punjab Kings with a convincing 7-wicket win. On the other hand, it’s been a season to forget for the Rajasthan Royals. With just 2 wins from 8 matches, they find themselves struggling at the 8th spot.
Their recent losses to LSG and DC, both close finishes where they failed to chase 9 runs in the final over. As the two sides face off for the second time this season, all eyes will be on whether RCB can finally break their home jinx, having lost three consecutive matches at the Chinnaswamy. Or will RR bounce back and add to RCB’s home troubles by pulling off a much-needed win?
