The Rajasthan Royals (RR) have a neck-to-neck head-to-head record of 14-14 against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) with two no-results between the two sides. The RR vs KKR encounter of IPL 2025 at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati will see one of the two sides going ahead in the face-offs.
Rajasthan did well in the last game with the bat as they fought well even after leaking 286 runs in the first innings. It was a fantastic performance from the inaugural champions to post 242 in reply to the marathon batting of the 2016 champions.
For the Kolkata Knight Riders, the batting could have been divided into three segments. They were off the track in the first three overs before Ajinkya Rahane broke the jail to gather a few aggressive and impressive runs in the last three overs of the powerplay. But they again struggled in the middle order, which they can’t afford in the second RR vs KKR clash.

Kolkata managed 60 runs in the powerplay of the opening IPL 2025 fixture against RCB for the loss of two wickets. Rahane, the KKR captain, drilled a few big shots against Rasikh Salam and Yash Dayal, while Sunil Narine also enjoyed the conditions pretty well to thump the ball out of the park.
In the run-fest against the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Rajasthan claimed 77 runs for the loss of three wickets in the powerplay of the second innings. Yashasvi Jaiswal found leaping Abhinav Manohar at the point region, while Riyan Parag and Nitish Rana could not contribute either.
It was impact player Sanju Samson and wicket-keeper, Dhruv Jurel, who changed the entire equation with some big shots. They hope to continue the same golden performance in the RR vs KKR fixture.
