Match no. 37 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 features Punjab Kings (PBKS) squaring off against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur.
These two teams have already played against each other once this season. In that match, Punjab Kings defeated RCB by five wickets. It was a 14-over game because of rain. RCB scored only 95 runs, and PBKS chased it down with 11 balls remaining.
Josh Hazlewood has been in good form this season, picking up 12 wickets in seven matches. In the last game, he took 3 wickets for just 14 runs in 3 overs. Except for one match, he has taken at least one wicket in every game so far.
Yuzvendra Chahal has made a strong comeback after a slow start to the season. In the first five matches, he managed to take only two wickets. However, in the last two games, he has performed well with figures of 4 for 28 and 2 for 11. With his recent form, he can be a good captaincy pick for this match.
Virat Kohli may have missed out in the last match, but he is still in good form this season. He has scored 249 runs in seven matches so far, including three half-centuries. Out of his last four innings, he has scored two fifties. He can be a solid captaincy pick option.
