Players like Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, and Marco Jansen add depth to their lineup, allowing them to mix up their strategies. On the other hand, Royals don’t have any true all-rounders and rely heavily on specialist batters and bowlers. This makes them less adaptable if a key bowler has a bad day.

 

Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur Chandigarh: Pitch report for PBKS vs RR IPL 2025  The pitch report from the middle courtesy of Ian Bishop and Michael Clarke - It is very cool tonight. It is 65m to the off side and 68m to the leg side for a right hander. The straigther boundaries are longer. There is some live grass but not too much in the middle. These wickets stay consistent for 40 overs, it is pretty hard and the surface hasn't changed too much from last season. It is pretty windy so there won't be much of dew as well. 170-180 would be a par score on this surface.
