The Rajasthan Royals (RR) delivered a statement victory in the 2025 Indian Premier League, defeating the previously unbeaten Punjab Kings (PBKS) by a convincing 50-run margin. The match took place at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Chandigarh on April 5, 2025.
Batting first, RR posted an impressive total of 205 for 4 in their 20 overs. Yashasvi Jaiswal was the top performer, scoring a fluent 67 runs that set the tone for a high-scoring game. He was well-supported by skipper Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag, who chipped in with quick runs at the death.
In response, Punjab Kings were never really in the hunt. Despite a promising start by Shikhar Dhawan, the middle-order faltered under pressure. The team managed only 155 for 9 in their 20 overs, falling well short of the target.
Jofra Archer starred with the ball, taking 3 crucial wickets and breaking the back of PBKS' batting lineup. Spin support from Yuzvendra Chahal and tight death overs from Trent Boult sealed the match in RR's favor.
The turning point came in the 11th over of PBKS’ innings when Jofra Archer dismissed both Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran in a single over. From that moment, Punjab’s chase derailed entirely.
With this win, Rajasthan Royals gain crucial momentum in the tournament and climb up the IPL 2025 points table. For Punjab Kings, this match marked their first defeat of the season, and they’ll look to bounce back quickly as the league progresses.
