RR predicted playing XI vs RCB: Akash Madhwal to play his first IPL 2025 game & who will be impact sub?

Rajasthan Royals return to Sawai Mansingh for their first home game, with Akash Madhwal likely to debut for RR against RCB.

In the 28th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, a Sunday double-header clash is on the cards. The first match will be played between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, which is hosting its first match of the season. This is Rajasthan Royals’ first home game at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in IPL 2025, and it promises to be interesting as both teams are coming off losses and will be aiming for a win today. Rajasthan Royals might make a few changes in their playing XI today; let’s look at the predicted combination.

Akash Madhwal in?

Akash Madhwal, the right-arm fast bowler who had a successful campaign with the Mumbai Indians last year, might make his debut today for Rajasthan Royals. He hasn’t played any match in IPL 2025, and this might be the opportunity for him to make his debut. Last year, he played 13 matches with Mumbai Indians and took 19 wickets. He is expected to come in for Tushar Deshpande.

Who will be impact sub?

If we look at the squad, Shubham Dubey might be the player who comes in as the impact sub. However, Shubham has struggled to make a significant impact for Rajasthan Royals as an impact player in the last three matches, with 44 total runs scored—34 not out against SRH, 1 run against Gujarat Titans, and 9 runs against KKR. The team might trust him again as they lack good finishers and lower order batsmen, so Shubham Dubey might make it into the XI as an impact sub.
