RCB Clinch First Home Win, Surge to 3rd in IPL 2025 Points Table

Royal Challengers Bangalore finally tasted victory on home soil, defeating Rajasthan Royals by 11 runs at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in a thrilling encounter.

While Rajasthan Royals got off to a blazing start thanks to Yashasvi Jaiswal’s quickfire 49 off just 19 balls, their chase ultimately fell short. They needed 18 runs off the last two overs, but could only manage six runs and lost four crucial wickets in the process. Josh Hazlewood emerged as the hero for RCB, picking up two wickets and conceding just one run in the crucial 19th over.

This win propelled RCB up to the 3rd spot on the IPL 2025 points table, while Rajasthan Royals remain stuck in 8th place, facing an uphill battle to make it to the playoffs.
