IPL 2025: Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings Expected Playing XI | RR vs PBKS (Match No. 59 )

It is time for match number 59 in the Indian Premier League, which is restarting after a one-week break. IPL 20-25 was paused for a week due to the India-Pakistan military conflict, but with tensions settling, IPL is back in action. The first game after the restart between RCB and KKR was washed out, but this game is expected to be very interesting, featuring a matchup between the Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings. This article will discuss both teams' playing XI for the upcoming match. This article will discuss the head-to-head record between both teams.

Rajasthan Royals, after losing several key star players before this season, have not been able to maintain their performance and have disappointed their fans so far. The team has missed players like Jos Buttler, and the injury of captain Sanju Samson has also affected their performance. In the 12 matches played so far, Rajasthan has won only three matches while losing nine, and they are currently in 9th position on the points table. On the other hand, Punjab Kings, in their effort to rebuild their squad for the season, have performed exceptionally well, winning seven out of the 11 matches played so far. The team is currently in 3rd position on the points table with 15 points.

In the 29 matches played between both teams, Rajasthan Royals have won 17 matches, while Punjab Kings secured victory in 12 matches. The upcoming game will be crucial for Punjab, as the team needs one more victory for playoff qualification.
