RR vs PBKS Head to Head Records Ahead of The 58th Match of IPL 2025

The afternoon clash on 18 May 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, sees the Rajasthan Royals (RR) hosting a playoff-hungry Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 59 of IPL 2025.

PBKS enter the match after a frustrating abandonment in Dharamsala, where they were flying high at 122/1 in just 10.1 overs before rain intervened. The replay in Jaipur presents a different challenge, with slower and unpredictable conditions replacing Dharamsala’s batting paradise. Nonetheless, PBKS remain one of the most balanced and aggressive sides this season. Openers Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya have been prolific, while captain Shreyas Iyer has led a fearless batting unit that thrives on high-intent cricket.

For RR, the season is effectively over. Already eliminated from playoff contention, they’ll look to salvage pride in their remaining games. Injuries and poor death bowling have haunted them, especially in tight finishes. However, the expected return of captain Sanju Samson is a big boost, as he was seen training ahead of the game. RR had beaten PBKS convincingly earlier in the season by 50 runs in Chandigarh.

Historically, Rajasthan have the edge with 17 wins in 29 meetings, including three of the last four. However, with PBKS in must-win mode and RR playing without key pacer Jofra Archer, the stakes are vastly different this time.
