IPL 2025: PBKS vs RR Stats & Records at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur

In IPL 2025, Punjab Kings appear to have found their rhythm again, winning both of their games without even playing at home. The season’s first home game for PBKS will be their third match against the Rajasthan Royals. The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur will host five of PBKS’s home games, with the remaining two taking place in Dharamsala, same like in 2024.

With RR coming in second from last, PBKS is comfortably atop the points standings. In their last game, both sides did record victories. In contrast to LSG, PBKS had an easy time. As much as Nicholas Pooran could, Punjab’s bowlers collapsed in a powerplay. But as a second collapse threatened, Abdul Samad and Ayush Badoni gave the LSG total some legitimacy. With the help of Prabhsimran Singh and Shreyas Iyer, PBKS easily defeated the target banking on fifties. Both wickets were taken by Digvesh Rathi, while Nehal Wadhera also contributed some well-timed hits.

RR defeated CSK in their most recent match in Guwahati. While Nitish Rana attacked the bowlers throughout the powerplay, the other batsmen were unable to keep up with him. Wanindu Hasaranga caused a breakdown in the middle order, while Jofra Archer pushed RR ahead in the chase with economical powerplay overs. Ruturaj Gaikwad persevered, but his termination made the agreement final. MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja continued the chase to the very last over, but RR won by a margin of just six runs.
