The second match of IPL 2025 will be a rematch from IPL 2024 Qualifier 2, where SRH ran away with an easy 36-run victory vs Rajasthan Royals
Australian great Matthew Hayden has hailed the selection of Krunal Pandya as a smart pick for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) camp in this IPL season, adding that there is something special about this RCB unit this year. RCB halted Kolkata Knight Riders' charge in the IPL opener on Saturday, staging a remarkable comeback to secure a seven-wicket win, which was completed with 22 balls to spare in pursuit of 175. Left-arm spinner Pandya set up the win for RCB, returning figures of 4-0-29-3. The opening pair of Phil Salt (56) and Virat Kohli (59) then scripted the chase, with skipper Rajat Patidar (34) making all the right moves to ensure RCB began the season with a victory. It was an emphatic and important victory for Rajat Patidar as the new captain. Having Virat Kohli in great form certainly helps, Hayden was quoted as saying in a JioStar release.

Williamson, who went unsold in last year's IPL auction, observed that Kohli's changed approach to the game will not affect his batting or effectiveness. "It's quite interesting as players kind of go into differen
