Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take the Indian Premier League (IPL) in its 53rd match of 2025 in its home ground, Eden Gardens, Kolkata to Rajasthan Royals (RR). KKR launched its campaign with defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore (KKR), but after that, his victory curve has become quite mixed.
In ten matches, he has won four, and a game was closed due to rain. So now, they are at the seventh position of the points table. With just four matches, they still have a good opportunity to qualify for the playoff if they manage to win the games. Under Captain Ajinkya Rahane, the team's performance has been quite unexpected, which needs to be replaced.
Meanwhile, RR has been abolished before the tournament after losing eight out of eight out of 11 matches. Currently, they are in the eighth position in the points table. The match will be fought as KKR as KKR will show its way in the playoffs, while RR will try to stop them. From here, all the upcoming KKR matches are du-or-dai encounters they will try to win.
