Updated IPL 2025 Points Table After Rajasthan Royals Inflict First Defeat On Punjab Kings

IPL 2025: The Rajasthan Royals have secured a comfortable victory over the Punjab Kings at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, on April 5, Saturday. This was Rajasthan's second win, while Punjab succumbed to their first victory in IPL 2025.

Led by Sanju Samson, the Rajasthan Royals batters were on point with their attacking intent from the very first point, and the Punjab bowlers failed to resolve the situation. In the second innings, RR bowlers responded brilliantly as Punjab batters lost some quick wickets in the latter part of the innings and eventually complicated the plot.
