Rajasthan Royals handed Punjab Kings a disappointing welcome back to their new home ground in Mullanpur with a commanding 50-run win in their latest IPL 2025 clash.
Batting first, Rajasthan Royals posted a competitive total of 189/6, thanks to skipper Sanju Samson’s classy half-century and impactful contributions from Jos Buttler and Riyan Parag. Samson anchored the innings with well-timed strokes while maintaining a steady run rate.
In reply, Punjab Kings struggled from the outset. RR’s disciplined bowling attack, led by Trent Boult and Yuzvendra Chahal, dismantled the PBKS batting line-up, restricting them to just 139. Despite home support, PBKS failed to build any meaningful partnerships.
This dominant win boosts RR’s position on the points table and signals their strong intent this season, while PBKS will need to regroup quickly after the setback in front of their home crowd.
