Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will meet each other in the 28th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season on Sunday, April 13th. The enthralling contest will take place at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur and is scheduled to start at 3:30 PM IST.
RR, with just two wins from five games, will be aiming to get a crucial two points from their first home game of the season and climb up from bottom half of the table. Meanwhile, RCB, who are placed fourth with three wins in their five outings, seek another strong away victory to sustain their strong hold in the top half of the standings.
As it's going to be another cracker of a Sunday afternoon in Jaipur, here are the top three captain and vice-captain choices for RR vs RCB Match 28 of IPL 2025.
3. Riyan Parag
Why Will Riyan Parag Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?
Riyan Parag was unstoppable in RR’s home matches in Jaipur. He scored over 200 runs at an average of 69 and at a strike-rate 164.28 which draws serious expectations from the right-hander in RR’s upcoming home fixtures.
Looking at his current form, one big thing is due for Parag as he has failed to convert his starts where he looks in the best of form. As RR returns to Jaipur, Parag will be one of the top captain and vice-captain choices for this match.
2. Virat Kohli
Why Will Virat Kohli Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?
Virat Kohli will be another great fantasy pick in the upcoming RR vs RCB match. The legendary batter has been RCB’s one of the most consistent performers in the recent past, including this season where he is RCB’s top run-scorer so far with 186 runs at a strike-rate of 145.31.
Moreover, he enjoyed playing in Jaipur the last time RCB met RR in their own backyard. Kohli scored an unbeaten 113 off 72 balls in that match and will be hoping to replicate that performance again this year.
1. Sanju Samson
Why Will Sanju Samson Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?
Sanju Samson has been Rajasthan Royals’ best batter so far. The keeper-batter has scored 178 runs at an average of 35.60 and a strike-rate of 150.84. He will undoubtedly start as one of the top fantasy picks for this match.
In addition, Samson’s record at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur speaks for himself. He has a great time batting in RR’s home ground last year, scoring 272 runs at an average of 136 which includes three half-centuries in five games.
