  The Kings vs Royals rivalry has produced some unforgettable IPL moments, with Rajasthan holding a 16-12 edge in their 28 encounters. From RR’s dramatic 1-wicket win chasing 189 in 2008 to PBKS defending 191 by 4 runs in 2015, these clashes have never failed to entertain. And who can forget Rahul Tewatia’s iconic five sixes in an over during the 224-run chase in 2020, or Kartik Tyagi’s last-over heroics in 2021? In their most recent face-off in 2024, RR clinched a 3-wicket win while chasing 148. Fans can expect a thriller on the fresh Chandigarh wicket.   

 

Meanwhile, Sanju Samson is set to return as Rajasthan’s captain in IPL 2025, after Riyan Parag stood in as skipper for RR’s first few matches. Samson’s presence behind the stumps will be a big boost for the Royals, especially after their morale-boosting win against CSK in the previous game. Sanju now needs one more win to surpass the legendary Shane Warne as the most successful captain in RR’s history.

 

Sanju Samson as Captain in IPL:

• Matches: 61
• Won: 31
• Lost: 29
• Tie/NR: 0/1
• Win percentage: 51.6

 

Most wins as a captain for Rajasthan Royals in IPL

• Shane Warne: 31 matches
• Sanju Samson: 31 matches
• Rahul Dravid: 18 matches

 

Both teams are likely to retain their Playing XI, coming off emphatic victories in their previous outings. However, given the grinding nature of the tournament, the possibility of one or two changes due to injuries or niggles cannot be ruled out.
