Rajasthan Royals (RR) will kick off their IPL 2025 season on March 23, a day after the T20 league starts. They will face last season’s runners-up, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), in the first double-header of this season.
RR will hope to get off the mark with a win as they chase the IPL glory for the second time. They haven’t won the league since their first triumph in 2008.
Although they came close to the title in the last few years, they failed to give the final push. As RR start afresh this season, they will aim to cap off with the trophy.
