The ongoing IPL 2025 match between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is turning into an one-sided affair as the Royals are struggling to chase down the mamoth total.

Notably, Sunrisers, batting first, registered the 2nd highest total in the history of IPL as they amassed 286 runs after the end of 20 overs, courtesy of Ishan Kishan's century. In reply, chasing 287, RR got off to the worst possible start as they lost two wickets in the first two overs.

Riyan Parag Starts IPL 2025 On A Negative Note

Simarjeet Singh stole the show as the right-arm seamer took two wickets in his first over of the match. He first got Yashasvi Jaiswal out and then sent captain Riyan Parag packing. 

Talking about Parag, the right-hand batter was playing his first match as a captain in IPL and disappointed the fans by playing a careless shot. He started off well and smashed a boundary on the first ball of his innings. However, he was beaten by Simarjeet's pace and mistimed a pull shot. It was an easy catch for Cummins at Mid-On. Watch the wicket here.

Talking about the match, then RR have lost more wickets and at the time of writing this article, RR are 72/3 after 5.4 overs. However, Sanju Samson and Dhurv Jurel are looking to build an innings and get closer to the chase of 287 runs.
