IPL 2025 RR and PBK’s main players: from Shreyas Iyer to Vaibhav Suryavanshi; check the full list and more

Although key overseas stars such as Josh Inglis, Marcus Stoinis and Marco Jansen are unavailable, PBKS is still an obvious favorite. The franchise has shown extraordinary depth this season, with its Indian core strengthening.

Captain Shreyas Iyer has been in red, holding a bat to sail through the front and provides the full side.

Prabhsimran Singh and Nehal Wadhera provide a solid start, while Priyansh Arya and Shashank Singh contributed usefully in the middle stage.
With the speed of the ball, Arshdeep Singh’s pace and Yuzvendra Chahal’s Guile form a deadly combination and is supported by Harpreet Brar’s control. PBK’s ability to deliver in stressful moments makes them one of the most balanced outfits of the season.

PBKS Key Showdown:

Shreyas Iyer vs Hasaranga/Theekshana – Can test Iyer’s fight against mysterious spins.

Marcus Stoinis vs Hasaranga – Stoinis (if appropriate) ruled 175 in T20’s Hasaranga. Chahal vs Hetmyer – Chahal dismissed Hetmyer 3 times in 7 innings.

PBK may play XI

Prabhsimran Singh, Josh Inglis (WK), Nehal Wadhera, Shreyas Iyer (C), Priyansh Arya, Shashank Singh, Marcus Stoinis, Marco Jansen, Marco Jansen, Harpreet Brar, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Yuzvendra Chahal

RR: Youth and Courage Final Bow

With their playoff hopes dashed, the Rajasthan Royals will hope to play the destructive game and end with high results. Captain Riyan Parag will integrate youth and experience to cope with the momentum of PBKS.

The team’s brightest moments of the season came from 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, whose century became a social media sensation.

However, the absence of Jofra Archer due to injury made their bowling thin, while the spotted form of Shimron Hetmyer added to the team’s plight. Much depends on Yashasvi Jaiswal’s powerful attack, and Parag himself must anchor the game.

In the bowling department, Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana will have to take responsibility without big-name Pacers. With PBK becoming famous for its offensive highest order, RR’s bowling division faces its biggest test to date.

RR key showdown

Yashasvi Jaiswal vs Arshdeep Singh – Arshdeep fired him twice in six IPL innings.

Hetmyer vs Chahal – Chahal has Hetmyer’s phone; RR may want to keep him safe from spins.

Riyan Parag vs Arshdeep Singh – Parag looks solid, with an average of 44 against Arshdeep.
