The Sawai Mansingh Stadium, located in Jaipur, will witness the 59th match of IPL 2025 between Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings. Since RR is currently out of the playoffs, they’ll want to finish on a winning note. PBKS sits well in form, having won seven out of eleven matches, and another couple of victories might seal their spot in the playoffs.
Some key player matchups to watch Include:
Prabhsimran Singh vs. Tushar Deshpande:
Prabhsimran has made scores of fifty in his last four matches, so RR would want to get him out early. With Jofra Archer out for the season, Deshpande would be crucial with the new ball. Prabhsimran has a powerplay strike rate of 163.92, and Deshpande’s economy is 13.
Yashasvi Jaiswal vs. Arshdeep Singh:
Jaiswal now changes gears with 473 runs at a strike rate of 154.57 after a slow start. Arshdeep will bowl against him in the powerplay, having sent him back twice in six IPL matches, maintaining a fine economy rate of 7 this season.
Riyan Parag vs. Yuzvendra Chahal:
Parag has been impressive, amassing 337 runs at a strike rate of 170.58 this season. He averages 61 against spinners but has managed to score only 8 against Chahal in their past encounters.

Sanju Samson vs. Yuzvendra Chahal:
Samson has not done well against Chahal, having scored only 42 runs in 10 innings while getting dismissed five times. If Chahal bowls while Samson is at the crease, PBKS would want to exploit this chance to weaken RR’s middle order.
