Despite the off-field comedy, the Rajasthan Royals had a dominant outing with the bat. After being put in to bat first, Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal gave RR a flying start with an 89-run opening stand. Samson scored a brisk 38 off 26 deliveries, while Jaiswal registered his first half-century of IPL 2025.
Following their dismissal, Riyan Parag and the middle-order batters kept the momentum going, helping RR post a commanding total of 205/5 in 20 overs.
As for Punjab Kings, who are currently unbeaten this season, they now face the daunting task of chasing down the challenging target to maintain their perfect record and solidify their position at the top of the IPL 2025 points table.
While the result of the match is awaited, Archer’s nap moment has already become one of the most talked-about highlights of the evening, adding a humorous twist to a fierce contest. However this sparks meme fest.
