Kings Pandjab is approaching the playoffs for the first time in 11 years after their ten-year victory over Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on Sunday 18 May. Panjab, who last got into the playoffs in 2014, restarted the IPL 2025 campaign on the right remark and Brar sin and took over.
It was a well-known story for Royals when they went through another big run-play, which was in control soon and disintegrated in the middle. Pandjab won the throwing on the day when IPL 2025 officially restarted after washing in Bengalur on Saturday. Shreyas decided to burn first and Punjab’s beginning was fast, but quickly lost goals. Priyank Arya fell in the form of 9 and Mitchell Owen’s debut fell on the duck. Prabhsimran scored 21 out of 10 balls, but a weak nickname on the side of the leg was his demise, because PBKS was 34 in 3 in 3.1 overs.
RR VS PBKS: Veliky | Scorecard
Shreyas joined Nelal Wadher in the middle in an unusual place 5, but it turned out that he was a master. This step helped the duo to stabilize the shifts when Wadhera took over the pitch, while Shreyas was alert and played an anchoring role.
They published 67 Runs with Shreyas, which scored 30. Skipper PBKS looked set before he became a little greedy against Riyan Parag and went to a big shot and was caught in Hluboká. Despite the fall of her captain Wadher, she continued to attack a pitch and got to his fifty of only 25 balls as a border outside Akash Madhwal. This was followed by six, because PBKS was looking for a big goal, with as Azmatullah Omarzai and Marco Jansen still in the pavilion.
Wadhera received good support from Shashank Singho, who began slowly and exploded into life at the end of the shifts. Duo deployed 58 on 33 balls before Wadhera fell to 70 out of 37 balls, Incredible knocking due to PBKS position was inside. Azmatullah Omarzai gave a good company SHASHANK with a 9-Míček 21. Shashank continued and scored his fourth IPL fifty out of 27 balls when PBKS published 219 runs.
Once the second shifts were launched, the big name in the PBKS line -up was Shreyas, who was subjected to Harpreet Brar. SHASHANK took over as a stand-in captain for second shifts and the beginning was far from ideal.
Yashsvi Jaiswal hit 22 runs from Arshdeep Singh’s Firsts with four borders and six. Young Vaibhav SuryavANSHi was not behind when he began to attack Marco Jansen and 17 runs appeared when RR flew.
Xavier Bartlett was also not spared because the duo built a 50-run stand for only 2.5 overs, the fastest team this season. The return of Arshdeep was not fertile because SuryavANSHi hit 16 runs from it, which included two large sixes in the last two balls.
Fourteen -year -old decided to go after Harpreet and got a few boundaries before PBKS Spinner rejected him to 40 of 15 balls. Jaiswal got in the next few borders when RR got to 89 in PowerPlay.
But just as it was with Royals this season, they began to slow down significantly after the first six and the panejab slowly began the competition. Jaiswal got to his fifty in 24, but fell from another ball he faced Harpreet. Samson’s move to No. 3, In an attempt to keep VAIBHAV upstairsMaybe he worked for a young man, but not for Captain RR. He fell on 20 out of 16 balls because PBKS was again in hunting.
Onus was on Riyan and Jurel, and the duo began to show signs of fighting in the 13th place from Omarzai, where they received 17 runs. But just after the break Harpreet hit and cleaned Riyan when Spinner ended up with characters 3 for 22 in his four exceeds.
Jurel looked into the groove and had the task of getting his side home and avoiding another collapse while chasing. Six off Chahal and the border from Omarzai meant that the Indian dough was the key to Royals in Chase because they needed 55 out of 24 balls.
Arshdeep’s bad form continued on the day when Jurel destroyed his rhythm with a fine of six and 14 of his third. Omarzai ended Hetmyer’s fight in the middle, because the known sinking the feeling began to hit RR fans again. But Jurel fought and hit six of the equation of 30 out of 12 balls.
Jurel got to his fifty 28 balls as the border when the tension was built. However, Arshdeep held his nerves and ensured RR to need 22 of the finals. Jansen then packed things with the goals of Jurel and Hasarangs to seal the victory.
The Pandjab project will approach its first checkpoint
When Ricky Ponting took over as a PBKS coach, his goal was simple. Win the title and make the current team best in the history of Pandjab. It was a franchise, which has been fought with several changes to the coach and captain in the last 11 years since the finals in 2014.
However, it seems that Ponting and Shreyas have been given the Punjab project on the way to Jinx breaking and getting into the playoffs. The kings found themselves in a worrying place when Jaiswal and Vaibhav went to Berserk, but eventually the side resistance ended. With a bat, they created a history by registering the highest score after they lost 3 goals below 35 runs. With the ball they delivered Harpreet and Jansen.
In the end, Arshdeep, although expensive, bowed to the brilliant 19th, which sealed the game for the king. The promise country is close because they now have 17 points and sit in second place for now.
The persecution of problems continues to Royals
Another great persecution. Another game in the palm. And another loss for Rajasthan. The Royals’ IPL 2025 season was the story of what could be because they were haunted 9 times and lost 8 of them. In this, games against DC, LSG, RCB and KRK were those where Royals seemed to easily get through the line, but eventually defeated.
Sitting 9. On the table points with only six points and lost a total of 10 games this season. While Royals maybe the team in the transition, their problems lie in the middle order, where the consistency was a rare commodity among the players they retained.
Like Riyan, Jurel and Hetmyer, they tried to keep running in the middle order, and this season it was evident. RR lost 38 goals this season this season, most on each side.
Next season must solve problems in the auction and we could see many changes in the franchise.
