The Rajasthan Royals (RR) started the IPL 2025 season with a mix of young energy and experienced international players.
They were hoping to finally win the title again after many years. Although the season had some tough matches and close finishes, RR became one of the most exciting teams to watch.
This was mostly because of the rise of young players and their strong bowling performances. As the fight for the playoffs continues, there are a few clear positives that show RR is heading in the right direction.
Here are three good things that stood out for them in IPL 2025:
1. Riyan Parag’s Historic Power-Hitting
Riyan Parag, leading RR, delivered a remarkable performance by hitting six consecutive sixes across two overs against Kolkata Knight Riders.
This feat marked the first time in IPL history that a batter achieved six sixes off successive legal deliveries.
Parag’s innings of 95 runs off 45 balls nearly led RR to a memorable victory, falling short by just one run. His aggressive batting style and leadership on the field have been a beacon of hope for the team.
2. Vaibhav Suryavanshi: A Teenage Sensation
At just 14 years old, Vaibhav Suryavanshi made headlines by scoring a blistering 101 runs off 38 balls against Gujarat Titans, becoming the youngest centurion in men’s T20 cricket.
His innings included 11 sixes and showcased maturity beyond his years.
Suryavanshi’s rapid rise and fearless approach have garnered praise from cricket legends and fans alike, marking him as a future star in the making.
3. Jofra Archer’s Resurgence
After overcoming injury setbacks, Jofra Archer returned to form, becoming the fifth bowler to claim 50 wickets for RR.
His performance against Punjab Kings, where he played a pivotal role in a six-run victory, highlighted his value to the team.
Archer’s pace and precision have re-established him as a key asset in RR’s bowling lineup.
