New Delhi: Rajasthan Royals experienced another collapse as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) staged a remarkable recovery to claim their first home victory of IPL 2025. Dhruv Jurel had placed the Royals in a commanding position, but his dismissal, followed by Josh Hazlewood’s pivotal final over, shifted the momentum, allowing the hosts to successfully defend 205 at Chinnaswamy Stadium.
In pursuit of a challenging 206, Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal added 52 runs for the opening wicket before Bhuvneshwar Kumar dismissed Suryavanshi, who attempted to hit one shot too many. Hazlewood then claimed the crucial wicket of Jaiswal for 49 off 19 balls as the left-hander looked to take the game to RCB. Krunal Pandya followed up with a strike off his first ball, sending Riyan Parag back to the pavilion after a rapid start.
