IPL 2025: Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders – Stats Preview

Rajasthan Royals will square off against the reigning champions Kolkata Knight Riders at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati in the ongoing IPL 2025 on Wednesday. 

Both RR and KKR lost their respective opening matches and they would look to clinch their first win of the season. While KKR lost the momentum with the bat against RCB, RR bowlers were thrashed by a potent SRH batting line-up. Riyan Parag would look to lead with aplomb as he was not up to the mark in the opening game.

Ergo, both teams would look to come up with an improved show in their second game of the season.
