Adjusting to a single home base has posed challenges for several IPL teams, but the Rajasthan Royals (RR) face an even steeper task in IPL 2025. After opening their season in Guwahati, the Royals return to their fortress at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur nearly three weeks into the campaign, aiming to bounce back from a mixed start.
Awaiting them this afternoon (April 13) is a red-hot Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) outfit that's been unstoppable on the road. RCB have pulled off historic away wins this season—toppling Mumbai Indians (MI) at Wankhede for the first time in 10 years, stunning Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Chepauk after 17 years, and outclassing the reigning champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens.
RCB’s numbers away from home underline their dominance: a robust 39.6 average runs per wicket and an explosive scoring rate of 10.5 runs per over. Their bowlers have backed it up with a stingy average of 21.2 runs per wicket. In stark contrast, their home performances have lagged behind—averaging just 22.1 runs per wicket with the bat and conceding heavily with a bowling average of 56.4.
