The league phase of IPL 2025 is approaching its business end and things are getting exciting in the top half of the table.

…And in all probability, it’s expected to go down the wire, much to the delight of the fans out there.

Nonetheless, for us, we have only W on our minds since the last few games and that mindset is not gonna change anytime soon, with a fixture against the Rajasthan Royals up next!

Trent Boult, who was on the other side of the contest for the previous three seasons, appeared in the pre-match press conference to opine on the team’s terrific recent form following an underwhelming start to the campaign.

“The squad is feeling very good. It's a long tournament. We would’ve loved to start stronger. But, to turn around our form and win five games in a row is a great feeling.

“We've got some great experience in the squad and it's nice to see things are clicking at the right time. But, still a lot of hard work to be done. We’re ready to come up against a good side tomorrow and just looking forward to a good encounter,” he said.

Referring to RR’s young prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s record-breaking century versus the Gujarat Titans, the pacer revealed that the side is prepared to face their in-form openers while cherishing his partnership with Bumrah.

“The whole world saw that performance the other night. Quality from such a young kid. It's gonna be an exciting challenge to come up against a guy who's fearless and running in hot form at the moment.

“They have very good batters, high-quality strikers of the ball… A squad and a ground that I know pretty well. But, different colours for me this time out. Looking forward to coming up against my old team. I feel we've got a good squad in terms of bowlers that can cater for most conditions. So I'm just really looking forward to that challenge,” Boulty said.

“I've got a great relationship with BOOM. He's a leader in the side & a very experienced bowler playing a huge part in our squad. He's definitely lifted the group since his return. Nice to see him amongst the wickets in the previous game. He's gonna play a big role for us for the rest of the competition,” he concluded.
