RCB vs RR Highlights, IPL 2025: RCB knock out Rajasthan Royals in high-scoring match

Drilled straight to long-off and they take the risky single—trouble at the striker’s end! The throw comes in high and wide, but Jitesh Sharma does brilliantly to gather and stretch back to the stumps with his right hand. The bails light up just as Hasaranga’s bat hovers on the line.

Back of a length outside off, and Archer goes for the flashy inside-out shot without any footwork. It ends up being a loose slice that flies to the left of cover—Patidar moves well and takes a clean catch.

18 needed off the final two overs—it's getting tense! Hazlewood steps up with a big task on his shoulders. Can he pull it back for his side, or will the Royals finish this off in style? All to play for!

A short ball on leg that sits up perfectly for Dubey—he swivels and helps it on its way over square leg for a boundary. Clean and controlled!

A beauty from Hazlewood, hitting that perfect channel just outside off. It kisses the edge, and the umpire raises the finger! Massive moment in the match!

Into the stands! Jurel is shifting gears now, taking on the bowling with intent. This wasn’t even a traditional short ball, but he commits fully—pulling it powerfully over midwicket for a massive 90-metre six! That’s serious intent from the young man.

Jurel breaks free at last! A shorter delivery on the stumps, and he wastes no time—rocks back and pulls it hard in front of square for a flat six. A much-needed release shot for him and for RR. Still, only eight runs come from the over.

On a length outside leg, and Hetmyer just manages to get enough bat on it—glances it fine past the keeper. It’s too well-placed for short fine leg to cut it off, and Hetmyer picks up a crucial boundary for the Royals!

There's a change of balls, and Krunal Pandya is set to bowl his third over.

He nails the reverse-sweep! Getting into position early, he sends the full ball outside off over short third for a boundary.

At the halfway mark, the score stands at 113 for 3, compared to RCB's 83 at the same stage. Abhimanyu will take over for the remainder of the innings.

Krunal Pandya is finally on, their standout spinner this season, but his home record hasn't been impressive, with an economy rate of 10.50 here. The question is: can he deliver the breakthroughs or tighten things up like he’s done away from home in this IPL? There’s a brief delay as the umpires chat with Patidar first, then confer with each other.

At 136.2 km/h, the pace is on to Rana, who calmly taps the full delivery to cover.

At 135.6 km/h, it flies off the leading edge—and somehow sails over the keeper for six! Total chaos, but it counts all the same. All Shepherd can do is smile wryly and take his cap from the umpire. Sometimes, luck just isn’t on your side!

And Hazlewood strikes back—he’ll feel that’s sweet revenge! After taking some punishment, he hits back with a crucial breakthrough. That one will feel good!
