Match No. 59 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will be played between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. We discuss the RR vs PBKS Playing 11 and batting order here.
Rajasthan Royals have managed just three wins from 12 matches, suffering nine losses. With only six points, they are already out of the playoff race.
Punjab Kings’ previous match against Delhi Capitals was stopped midway. It was eventually abandoned due to the rising tensions between India and Pakistan. The situation also caused a temporary suspension of the tournament. As per the revised schedule, that game will be replayed later. For now, PBKS will shift their focus to their upcoming clash against the Rajasthan Royals.
PBKS have 15 points from 11 matches so far, with seven wins, three losses, and one no result. They need just one more win to officially secure a spot in the playoffs.
Both teams are likely to make a few changes to their playing XIs for this match.
According to reports, Rajasthan Royals will miss the services of Jofra Archer for the rest of the season, as he has opted not to return to India.
