Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru in the 42nd match of IPL 2025 on April 24.
Here are the top three battles to watch out for in today’s RCB vs RR clash in the IPL 2025
Yashasvi Jaiswal vs Josh Hazlewood
After a slow start, Jaiswal has finally returned to form with three consecutive fifties. He will be up against Josh Hazlewood, who has taken 12 wickets so far from eight matches, with best bowling figures of 3/14. Jaiswal has previously dominated Hazlewood, scoring 55 runs off 21 balls while getting dismissed twice, at a strike rate of 261.9 in the IPL.
Virat Kohli vs Jofra Archer
Virat is the key to the RCB batting lineup, and when he performs well, it becomes easier for RCB to post big scores on the board. Jofra is the go-to pacer for RR, and after a poor start to this IPL, he has found his rhythm in the last few matches. He has taken eight wickets from eight matches. In the past, Kohli has struggled to score quickly against Jofra, managing only 34 runs off 32 balls at a strike rate of 106.2 in the IPL.
Riyan Parag vs Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Riyan has looked out of touch in this IPL, scoring only 212 runs from eight matches without a single fifty. Meanwhile, Kumar has been in decent form, taking eight wickets from seven matches at an economy rate of under eight. However, Parag has had the upper hand in their past matchups, scoring 36 runs off 17 balls at a strike rate of 211.8 in the IPL.
