In the 28th match of IPL 2025, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) outclassed Rajasthan Royals (RR) with a stunning 9-wicket win in Jaipur. Chasing a target of 174, RCB made a strong statement with their fearless batting approach. Phil Salt led the charge with a blistering 65 off just 32 balls, attacking from the very first over. His aggressive intent set the tone, while Virat Kohli played a composed and unbeaten knock of 62*, registering his 100th fifty in T20 cricket.
Despite Yashasvi Jaiswal’s brilliant 75 off 47 balls for RR, the rest of the batting lineup couldn’t offer much support. Rajasthan posted 173/5, but their slow start and dropped catches—four in total including Kohli and Salt—cost them dearly. Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel struggled to keep up the momentum, and even a late push wasn’t enough to put pressure on RCB.
RCB’s bowling was sharp and disciplined, with Krunal Pandya and Yash Dayal keeping things tight in the middle overs. With their deep batting lineup and fearless strategy, RCB proved why they’re one of the most dangerous teams this season.
