The Rajasthan Royals and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru are ready to face off against each other to begin the 28th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 Game on April 13, 2025, at 6:00 am ET/3:00 am PT.
The Jaipur-based team, the Rajasthan Royals, has only won two of their first five games. They lost badly against the Gujarat Titans by 58 runs in their most recent game. The team will require improved performance from players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Nitish Rana, who have not yet lived up to expectations, even if captain Sanju Samson has been their batting stalwart.
In contrast, Royal Challengers Bengaluru has won three of their last five games, although they recently suffered a six-wicket defeat at the hands of Delhi Capitals. RCB can rely on their potent opening pair, Phil Salt and Virat Kohli. Compared to prior seasons, their bowling, which is led by Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, has significantly improved.
