Rajasthan Royals will resume their IPL 2025 home leg in Jaipur on Sunday with a match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

After playing their first two designated home matches in Guwahati, the Royals return at their own abode.

Hotel and Air Fare Rise in Jaipur

Amid the impending Dust Storm alerts at the Pink City, it will be a monumental encounter for the Royals, who need to step up against a decent RCB side. But ahead of the match, the air fare has significantly risen.

On Saturday and Sunday, any inbound flight from Bengaluru has seen a huge hike. Generally, a direct flight from Bengaluru to Jaipur costs around Rs 7000, which has hiked to around Rs 14,000 on Saturday, while Rs 12000 on Sunday.

The same goes for hotel prices as well. MyKhel explored a few hotels near the Sawai Mansingh Stadium and could witness the staggering change in prices for the weekend. A few hotels have almost doubled their tariffs, while the online prices have increased as well. Although many owed it to the weekend, a hotel manager confirmed it on condition of anonymity.

"You know the match is coming. And also, RCB playing means fans across Rajasthan and other places may come to see Virat Kohli.

So the price is just a bit increased for that," he said.

RCB cheers in Pink City

As RR play RCB, the tickets are almost sold on the online platform. Only Rs 31,000 tickets were showing available as we were checking, which means the buzz around the match is massive. MyKhel went to a few places to check the fan pulse and it is quite significantly tilting towards RCB.

We talked with the young, budding cricketers at the Jaipuriya Cricket Academy, and the majority of them love the Bengaluru outfit for Virat Kohli.

"RCB means Loyalty and Virat Kohli.

We love RCB...We will win this year," a young supporter told us.
