On April 20, in Match 37 of the IPL 2025, the Punjab Kings (PBKS) will face the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) once more. At the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh, the Kings will host the Men in Red this time.
The team lead by Shreyas Iyer has had an excellent competition thus far, and after seven games, they are now ranked second in the standings with five victories and two defeats. They are seeking to replicate their home victory over the Bengaluru team at Mullanpur when they play there. This time, the game will take place in the afternoon and will put both teams to the test.
Even if RCB has enjoyed a respectable campaign thus far, the defeat in the last game will nonetheless leave them feeling let down. After seven games, the Rajat Patidar-led team has four victories and three losses, placing them fourth in the standings. They have yet to lose a game outside this season, despite losing all of their home games thus far. They hope to maintain that record coming into this match.

Key Player Battles for PBKS vs RCB, Match 37
Shreyas Iyer vs Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Shreyas Iyer has had a mixed season thus far; while he has made some outstanding knocks, he has also had trouble getting into other games. Iyer has had little luck against Bhuvneshwar Kumar, one of the bowlers who has kept him quiet and dismissed him three times in the event. Against the pace bowling mainstay, Iyer’s strike rate is just 90.
Virat Kohli vs Arshdeep Singh
The match between the greatest bowler in T20Is and the greatest Indian cricket player of the current era is one of the most intriguing contests. Although Virat Kohli has a good strike rate of 181.81 against the left-arm pacer and has punished him frequently throughout the competition, the Punjab pacer has also removed him twice. RCB lost the game on Friday after Arshdeep caught Kohli in front of his pads, causing the batter to leave after just scoring one run.
