RCB vs RR Head-to-head stats and records you need to know before Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Rajasthan Royals IPL 2025 match

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match number 42 of IPL 2025 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Thursday, April 24. When the two sides clashed on April 13 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, RCB thumped RR by nine wickets. Benglauru are fourth in the points table, while Rajasthan are in eighth place.

RCB got the better of Punjab Kings (PBKS) by seven wickets in their previous match in Mullanpur. Bowling first, Bengaluru did a great job to restrict Punjab to 157-6 as Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma picked up two wickets each. In the chase, RCB cruised home in 18.5 overs as Virat Kohli top-scored with 73* off 54, while Devdutt Padikkal hammered 61 off 35 balls.

Rajasthan are on a four-match losing streak and would be desperate to turn around their fortunes. They would be the first to admit that they should have won their last two matches against Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) respectively. Against LSG, RR were chasing 181 and were well-placed for victory, but lost their way at the end to finish on 178-5.
