Bangalore vs Rajasthan on April 24

 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) square off against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match No. 42 of the ongoing  Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Thursday, April 24. RCB replaced at No. 3 on the points table with five wins and three defeats from eight matches. They are coming into this clash on the back of a resounding seven-wicket win against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur on Sunday. The Rajat Patidar-led side has not won a game at home this season. They would want to change that on Thursday and give their passionate fans moments to celebrate. Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals are all but out of the playoffs race. They only have two victories from eight games, and are stationed at No. 8 on the points table. Sanju Samson will miss the upcoming clash due to an injury, as Riyan Parag will continue at the helm. They suffered an agonising two-run defeat against Lucknow Super Giants in their most recent fixture, which was held at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

Best economical pick – Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the 14-year-old Rajasthan Royals opener, made a sensational IPL 2025 debut by scoring 34 runs off 20 balls at a strike rate of 170, including two fours and three sixes, and became the youngest player ever to hit a six in the IPL. His fearless and attacking innings, which included a six off the very first ball he faced, helped Rajasthan Royals in their chase against Lucknow Super Giants, showcasing his potential as a valuable fantasy pick despite his very young age.

Top captains & vice captains – Yashasvi Jaiswal will open the batting and scored 435 runs in 15 matches in the previous edition. He will be a good captaincy pick for this match. Virat Kohli is getting better with each passing game. He has accumulated 322 runs from eight innings at an average of 64.40 and a strike rate of 140. The Delhi batter has registered four half-centuries so far. In the last game, he smashed an unbeaten 73 off 54 balls, hitting seven fours and a six. He will look to play the anchor's role once again on Thursday. 

Smart pick – Josh Hazlewood is proving his worth in almost every game, as he is adapting to the conditions in a jiffy and picking up important wickets for RCB. The Australian pacer has 12 wickets from eight matches in IPL 2025 at an average of 20.17 and a strike rate of 14.42. His spell inside the powerplay and at the death will be important for RCB's chances.

Cautious Pick – Based on Shimron Hetmyer's performance in IPL 2025 so far, you should be cautious about picking him in your fantasy team. In 3 matches, he has scored a modest 68 runs at an average of 22.67 and a strike rate of 144.68, without any half-centuries, though he has taken 3 catches; his contributions have been limited as Rajasthan Royals' top order often finishes games, restricting his opportunities to make a significant impact. While Hetmyer remains a dangerous middle-order hitter with a history of power-hitting and finishing games, his current form and limited chances this season suggest he may not be a reliable fantasy pick.

My XI – Yashasvi Jaiswal (Captain), Virat Kohli (Vice-Captain), Josh Hazlewood, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Philip Salt, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar, Nitish Rana, Tim David, Krunal Pandya, Jofra Archer
