 "IPL 2025 PBKS vs RR live streaming: Where to watch cricket match live today")
Rajasthan Royals set a challenging target of 206 runs for Punjab Kings in Match 17 of IPL 2025 at the newly built Mullanpur Stadium. Sanju Samson’s debut game as captain this season saw him and his opening partner, Yashasvi Jaiswal, lay a solid foundation for the Royals, enabling them to post a competitive total.
Riyan Parag’s quickfire 43 off 25 balls, along with a fiery 20-run cameo from Hetmyer, ensured the visitors crossed the 200-run mark.
Despite the PBKS bowlers breaking key partnerships in the middle overs, they restricted RR to 205/4 in their allotted 20 overs. Lockie Ferguson was the standout bowler for PBKS, taking 2 wickets, while Arshdeep and Jansen also claimed one wicket each for the home team.
With the hosts now chasing the target, they will aim for their third consecutive victory. On the other hand, the RR pacers will be eager to maintain their winning streak and defend the total.

Both skippers after the toss: Shreyas Iyer: We'll bowl first. Looking at the last game, we were playing on a new wicket and we want to see how the pitch plays. Same mindset here as well. We need to stabilise the rhytmn from game one and that's happened. Important to steady the ship from here, boys are in high spirits. Need to maintain composure and calmness throughout the season. We've played the practice games here so we know how the wicket will play. We played our last two games on red soil so hopefully we can adapt early. We have the mindset of champions. Bowling first, no changes for us. Will change things around maybe with the impact sub. Sanju Samson: Pretty happy to bat first and put on a decent total. (On playing as an impact sub earlier) I could feel what the coaches would be going through, a bit restless and helpless. But excited to be back now. It is a new team and team management, we have got to know each other now and it takes a bit of time. We are geling better now, last game we pretty much had the perfect game. We have a small niggle for Tushar Despande, so he's out for today and Yudhvir comes in for him.
