PBKS v RR IPL 2025 Match Prediction

The PBKS vs RR IPL 2025 match will be played in Mullanpur, Chandigarh on Saturday. The match starts from 7.30 pm IST. Punjab Kings will be led by Shreyas Iyer. PBKS are topping the points table with two wins from as many games.

Rajasthan Royals will see the return of Sanju Samson as the skipper. The Royals lost two out of the three matches led by Riyan Parag before they finally won against Chennai Super Kings.

Meanwhile, Samson has been cleared by BCCI's COE to keep wickets in the remainder of the season. He will return as the captain of RR starting with this match. The Royals are under pressure as they are languishing at ninth on the points table. They need to start winning games regularly now. This is the first game for the Punjab Kings in Mullanpur which is one of their two home venues this season.
