Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Table toppers Punjab Kings will be looking to maintain their winning momentum when they host struggling Rajasthan Royals in match 18 of the IPL 2025 on Saturday evening.

With two wins already under their belt, PBKS will be determined to add another victory to their tally to maintain their position on top, while RR, who have just one win in three games, will be aiming for a turnaround to their campaign.

PBKS are brimming with confidence after launching their campaign with two back-to-back wins under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, who has smashed consecutive half-centuries to score 149 runs in two games at a strike rate of over 200. He smashed 13 sixes in the tournament so far, trailing Lucknow Super Giants's batter Nicholas Pooran (15) in the most sixes list.
