IPL 2025: RR vs PBKS Playing 11, live toss and match time, streaming

Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs Punjab Kings (PBKS) Playing 11 Prediction: Both RR and PBKS are expected to have multiple changes in their team line-up when they return to action in IPL 2025

Match number 59 of IPL 2025 between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) is taking place on today, at Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium. PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer won the toss and elected to bat first in Jaipur.  This will be an important match for the Shreyas Iyer-led Punjab Kings, as a win in Jaipur will all but confirm their place in the IPL 2025 playoffs.

 

On the other hand, it will be a battle of survival for RR, who are already eliminated from the playoff race and are currently ranked ninth on the points table. They will try their best to avoid finishing with the wooden spoon this season, and for that, they will need to win their match against PBKS on Sunday.
