Royals return to Jaipur looking to halt RCB's away-win juggernaut

Nearly three weeks into IPL 2025, Rajasthan Royals will get a taste of their 'original' home conditions for the first time in the season, and would certainly hope for a winning start in the Pink city. The Royals had earlier played two of their 'home' matches in Guwahati with mixed results.

Having said that, Sanju Samson's men will be up against a side that has won all their matches on the road and Rajat Patidar's outfit will be desperate to keep that momentum going.

The RCB side beat Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Wankhede for the first time in 10 years, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Chepauk for the first time in 17 years, and have also thrashed defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens in the season opener. Going by RCB's winning record in away games, the Royals will have to get their act together and revisit their strategy, especially after losing their previous match to Gujarat Titans. RCB are placed at the fourth spot in the points table after winning three of their five games so far, while RR are at seventh after managing only a couple of wins from as many outings.
