Rajasthan Royals (RR) pay a visit to the undefeated Punjab Kings (PBKS) in match 40 of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh on Tuesday.

RR started the tournament on a fantastic note, winning the first four games but have managed one victory in their last four games.
