Royal Challengers Bengaluru are chasing their first home win of the season on Thursday after enduring three successive defeats at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Their opponent today will be the Rajasthan Royals, who are struggling in 8th spot in the standings, in the Indian Premier League 2025 match on Thursday. So far in IPL 2025, RCB have lost to Punjab Kings (by five wickets), Delhi Capitals (by six wickets), and Gujarat Titans (by eight wickets).
, led by Rajat Patidar, sit fourth in the with five wins — all in away matches — in eight games, while , which are enduring a dreadful start to their 2025 campaign are eighth with just two wins in eight games and are coming into the contest with four back-to-back losses.
The weather in on Thursday will be very hot, according to AccuWeather, with little to no rain predicted for the day. The mercury will rise to 36 degrees Celsius with gusty winds expected in the evening.
The Chinnaswamy pitch — which has been a batter’s paradise historically — has strangely been favouring the bowlers this time around. RCB have a solid bowling lineup with in-form bowlers like , Josh Hazlewood, Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma. In addition, they also have someone like Yash Dayal, who has been a very effective and handy bowler for RCB in slog overs. However, the home team has failed to click with both bat and ball as far as the Chinnaswamy strip is concerned. If RCB need to win their first home match, one department has to click for the home team.
