RR VS PBKS IPL 2025 Highlights: Rajasthan Royals' struggles while chasing continued as they suffered yet another close defeat this time falling short by just 10 runs. This marked their fourth loss by 11 runs or less this season, not counting the Super Over heartbreak against Delhi Capitals.

Chasing a modest target, RR got off to a dream start with openers Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal going berserk early on. The duo dealt in boundaries, with not a single run scored until the fifth over only fours and sixes. It was pure carnage at the top.

However, once the opening stand was broken, the Royals’ innings unraveled. Wickets tumbled at regular intervals, and Dhruv Jurel was left to carry the chase single-handedly at the death. Despite his gritty efforts, the lack of support from the other end proved costly once again.

The standout performer for the opposition was Harpreet Brar, who delivered under pressure. On a night where most bowlers struggled, Brar returned stunning figures of 3 for 22, picking up the key wickets of Suryavanshi, Jaiswal, and Riyan Parag.
