Kolkata Knight Riders against Rajasthan Royals | KKR against RR Live Score Updates, IPL Cricket 2025: Hasaranga delivers a single to Gurbaz

The defending Champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will ride for new trust in order to revive their playoff hopes when they play in Eden Gardens in Eden Garden in a decisive IPL 2025 fight against Rajasthan Royals (RR). With four remaining league games, KKRS is easy, but difficult – they win all four to reach 17 points and secure a place in the top 4.

Her remaining games include home games against Rajasthan and Chennai Super Kings, followed by away games against Sunriser's Hyderabad and a reconciling Royal Challenger, Bengaluru. While SRH has lost the momentum, RCB is hard for a playoff base, which could make the last game a virtual knockout.

Before he presupposes too far, KKR's direct focus will be on back-to-back games in Eden Gardens, starting with a fighting team of Rajasthan Royals, which is already removed from the playoff race.

Although RR and CSK have been eliminated, they will spoil the party for the knights. However, KKR's challenge goes beyond the opposition – however, its shape at home was worrying. Eden Gardens, once a fortress, experienced only one victory for KKR in five attempts this season.

The home spinners have to struggle with inconsistent grip and jump, which are appropriate to the visiting pages. The striking unit is also increased compared to the title crown form of last year.

Finisher Rinku Singh did not meet the expectations and only achieved 169 runs in eight innings. Quinton de Kock, brought with him to fill the emptiness left by Phil Salt, only achieved 143 runs from seven games.

Venkatesh Iyer, again signed for 23.75 billion rupees and increased in vice captain, was under pressure. In 10 games he only achieved 142 runs-a steep fall from his 370-run record last season.

Skipper Ajinkya Rahane, the most constant KKR dough this season, is recovering from a hand injury.

A recent victory against Delhi Capitals picked up the teamoral, with Sunil Narine playing a key role of 16 balls, 3/29 with the ball and a direct exercise. His impact will be decisive again.

Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, decrypt her season with just one win in her last seven games. Injuries and auction strategies have contributed to their early exit.

While the century of 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi was an outstanding moment, the team cannot rely on such an individual brilliance. The lack of Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson let the impact.

Yashasvi Jaiswal was consistent at the top, but the middle order – including Hetmyer, Jurel and Rana – fought. Jurel has 249 runs from 10 Innerings, Hetmyer has an average of 20.77 and Rana did not find rhythm.

There are also bowling concerns. Without Yuzvendra Chahal, who is now with Punjab Kings, RR is missing a strike. The availability of Wanindu Hasaranga remains uncertain due to a niggle.

Jofra Archer collected 10 gates in 11 games, but on a costly average of 40.10, while Maheesh Theekshana did not experience expectations either.
