RR vs KKR, IPL 2025: Match Preview, Probable Playing XIs, And Full Squads

RR vs KKR, IPL 2025: Rajasthan Royals (RR) are looking to bounce back against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their next match of IPL 2025. The Royals had a tough game against Sunrisers, scoring 242/6 but still losing by 44 runs after a challenging first innings. On the other hand, KKR were defeated by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by seven wickets in their opening match.

Riyan Parag and the team are looking to bounce back after a tough match. They hope for better bowling performances, especially from Jofra Archer, who had a rough day, conceding 76 runs, the worst in IPL history. However, the batting gave some hope, with Sanju Samson (66), Dhruv Jurel (70), Shimron Hetmyer (42), and Shubham Dubey (34*) performing well.

For KKR, captain Ajinkya Rahane’s solid 56 and Sunil Narine’s quick 44 were bright spots. However, a middle-order collapse with Iyer, Rinku, and Russell struggling hurt their chances. The bowlers also struggled, except for Narine, who took 1/27.
