No mercy! Rajasthan Royals’ brutal Powerplay tactic is shocking everyone | Cricket News
NEW DELHI: Rajasthan Royals are redefining Powerplay batting in IPL 2025, they usually’re doing it with brute drive. The 2008 champions have turned the primary six overs into their private six-hitting zone, smashing a staggering 37 sixes — probably the most by any staff this season. It’s a transparent reflection of their fearless model of cricket and intent to dominate from the get-go.
Rajasthan Royals sit comfortably forward of Kolkata Knight Riders (29), Mumbai Indians (26), and Punjab Kings (25) on this six-hitting spree.
Chennai Super Kings have struggled to seek out that early firepower, languishing on the backside with simply 5 Powerplay sixes — a stunning stat for one of many league’s most storied franchises.

Poll
Do you imagine Rajasthan Royals can preserve their six-hitting dominance all through the season?
Earlier, Royal Challengers Bengaluru posted a aggressive 205 for 5, powered by fluent half-centuries from Virat Kohli (70 off 42) and Devdutt Padikkal (50 off 27).
The duo added 95 for the second wicket on a barely tough floor.
Late cameos from Jitesh Sharma (20* off 10) and Tim David (23 off 15) gave RCB the ending kick.
