The IPL 2025 Match 28 between Rajasthan Royals(RR) and Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) took place on April 13 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. RCB decided to be the bowling team after winning the toss against RR. 

Rajasthan Royals Innings

Yashasvi Jaiswal hit a 35-ball fifty as he scored 75 from 47 balls while hitting Josh Hazlewood for four and six during RR's innings. Jaiswal partnered with Riyan Parag, who scored 27 runs, while both players benefitted from a powerful first over period that produced 10.7 runs. The momentum in RR's batting slowed down due to Sanju Samson's deliberate batting style since he scored 17 runs from 19 balls, while Yash Dayal delivered his slower delivery to dismiss Parag. Dhruv Jurel finished the innings with 35* runs from 23 balls to lead RR batting, while the team scored 38 runs in the last five overs. A tight line-strike display from Krunal Pandya and Yash Dayal (combined figures of 1/59) failed to stop the Rajasthan Royals from scoring 173 which fell short of Jaipur's home pitch average of 180.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Innings

In the RCB pursuit of the target Phil Salt delivered an electrifying performance of 65 runs in 33 balls while hitting his half-century in 28 balls by striking Jofra Archer with a six. Virat Kohli provided an outstanding unbeaten half-century while Devdutt Padikkal finished with an unbroken thirty as both players concluded the victory for their team. Archer (0/40) and the other bowlers performed poorly while dropped catches from RR created more difficulties for them. Directional play during RCB’s batting run in the fourth match brought them their fourth win among six attempts.

Post-Match Reactions

• Rajat Patidar (RCB Captain): Happy with how the bowlers bowled, especially in the powerplay. Said the pitch was tough and that they were looking to score around 150-170. Complimented the batting of Phil Salt, and Virat Kohli. Said they will always play positive cricket no matter where they are playing.
• Sanju Samson (RR Captain): Felt 170 was a good total but the powerplay for RCB took the game away from them. Said both teams dropped catches, but gave RCB credit for their performance in the game. Said the team is taking responsibility for their mistakes, and will come back again.
• Devdutt Padikkal (RCB): Working on some technical things in his batting and has been working with DK and Andy. Said he is happy with that role in the batting order and looking to score regularly. Said they have to avoid losing 2 or 3 wickets in a row at home.
• Phil Salt (Player of the Match): Yeah very pleased with my performance especially on the road. The venue was slightly different for me. I spoke about it before the game that I wanted to get my side to a good start and I am happy that I did exactly that today.
