The Sawai Mansingh stadium is notoriously famous in IPL to be a safe haven for bowlers as the pitch is usually on slowish side and batters struggle to play big shots. Given the history of the ground, the match is not expected to be a run fest as the pitch will be a slow one with enough help for bowlers to dominate the proceedings.
The Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have played a total of 29 games between one another over the course of last 18 seasons and there’s barely anything separating the two sides. RCB only just have the upper hand with 15 wins out of these 19 games while, RR have won 14 matches.

Rajasthan Royals’ Top Players IPL 2025
Sanju Samson
The Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson has once again been the franchise’s best batter in Tata IPL 2025 with 178 runs to his name in four matches at a strike rate of 150.45. In a team that is low on confidence, Sanju Samson has led from front and has a high score of 66.
Wanindu Hassaranga
The Sri Lankan leggie Wanindu Hassaranga is once again in sublime form this IPL having picked up 6 wickets in just three matches at an economy of just 9.55. His best figures are 4/35 and given the deck at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur is a slow one it should assist Hassaranga.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Top Players IPL 2025
Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli is once again in sublime form in the Indian Premier League having scored 186 runs in his first five games with a strike rate of 145.31 and an average of 46.35. Kohli has already scored two half centuries and given the technicalities of playing at Jaipur, the pitch should favour him as he is hunting for 100th Fifty in T20s.
Josh Hazlewood
Josh Hazlewood missed out on IPL 2024 due to injury but he’s back in 2025 and is back in full form. Hazlewood has already picked up 8 wickets in 5 IPL games and is bowling at a strike rate of 14.13 with an impressive economy of 8.65. He’s Bengaluru’s go to bowler for wickets hence he should be one of the first names in your Dream 11 team.
Sandeep Sharma
Rajasthan Royals pacer Sandeep Sharma has been one of the best pacers for them in the tournament and has often proved to be a sure short wicket taker. He’s not an expensive pick when it comes to Dream 11 and could provide some much valuable points.
Shimron Hetmeyer
Shimron Hetmeyer is not an expensive pick and yet he’s one of the most impactful players in the RR squad. He scored a 50 in last game and his explosive batting and six hitting ability is a must have in your Dream 11 team.
Jacob Betthell
While, Jacob Betthell is an excitement prospect in the Royal Challengers Bengaluru lineup it is a player you must avoid as currently he’s not making the starting lineup of RCB. Hence, it will be a waste of credits and spot to select Jacob Betthell.
Tushar Deshpande
While, Tushar Deshpande does make it to the RR starting lineup the player is woefully out of form and is getting tonked by batters left right and centre in this edition of IPL. Picking him would be a huge risk given it can negatively impact your team.
Keepers – Sanju Samson, Phil Salt (vc)
Batsmen – Virat Kohli (c), Rajat Patidar, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shimron Hetmyer
All-rounders – Krunal Pandya, Liam Livingstone, Riyan Parag
