No mercy! Rajasthan Royals' brutal Powerplay tactic is shocking everyone

NEW DELHI: Rajasthan Royals are redefining Powerplay batting in IPL 2025 , and they’re doing it with brute force. The 2008 champions have turned the first six overs into their personal six-hitting zone, smashing a staggering 37 sixes — the most by any team this season. It’s a clear reflection of their fearless brand of cricket and intent to dominate from the get-go.


Rajasthan Royals sit comfortably ahead of Kolkata Knight Riders (29), Mumbai Indians (26), and Punjab Kings (25) in this six-hitting spree.

Chennai Super Kings have struggled to find that early firepower, languishing at the bottom with just five Powerplay sixes — a surprising stat for one of the league’s most storied franchises.
