IPL 2025 has been hit by yet another security breach as a fan managed to get past security to meet Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag. Parag, who was appointed captain of RR for the first few matches of IPL 2025 due to Sanju Samson’s injury, lede his team for the first time in front of his home crowd in Guwahati during their match against Kolkata Knight Riders on Wednesday.
Earlier, during the first match of IPL 2025 at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens, a fan had managed to sneak past security to meet Virat Kohli.

Moeen Ali finished with impressive figures of 2/23 while Varun Charavarthy bounced back with of 2/17 (4), after going for 43 runs in the opening game against RCB.
Dhruv Jurel, batting at no.6 and Jofra Archer at no.9, ensured Rajasthan Royals batted the full 20 overs. Dhruv Jurel’s patient 33 and Jofra Archer’s quickfire 16 not out off seven balls took Rajasthan Royals to 151/9.
In reply, KKR lost some early wickets but the partnership between Quinton de Kock and Ankish Raghuvanshi ensured that there were no hiccups along the way as KKR got to the total with plenty of time left in the game.
