IPL 2025: Archer, Sharma, And Theekshana Shine As Rajasthan Hand Punjab Kings 50-run Defeat
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Jofra Archer claimed three scalps while Sandeep Sharma and Maheesh Theekshana bagged two wickets each as Rajasthan Royals defeated Punjab Kings by 50 runs in Match 18 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium here on Saturday.
Asked to bat first, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag helped Rajasthan Royals reach a daunting total of 205/4 in the first innings, making it the first 200+ score at the venue.
The home side got off to the worst possible start in their chase of 206 as Jofra Archer bowled both Priyansh Arya (0) and Shreyas Iyer (10) in the first over. Sandeep Sharma joined the party, catching Marcus Stoinis (1) with his bowling. Nehal Wadhera (62) and Glenn Maxwell (30) came to the crease with a potential collapse on the cards, and the former got a lifeline when he was dropped by Dhruv Jurel on 5.
