Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders look for their first points after opening their campaigns with losses in the Indian Premier League 2025. KKR lost the IPL 2025 opener to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, while RR suffered a loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders face Rajasthan Royals in their second match of the Indian Premier League 2025 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. Both RR and KKR lost their respective opening fixtures and are in search of their first points.
Knight Riders lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL 2025 opener, while RR faced the brunt of Sunrisers Hyderabad’s batting might in a high-scoring game.
KKR were bossing the things batting first until they lost steam in the middle and ended up on a pretty under-par total of 174. They could not contain the RCB batting fire as Virat Kohli and Phil Salt snatched the game away to setup a seven-wicket win.
RR were punished in the bowling department as Sunrisers’ batters turned on a carnage. Ishan Kishan’s blistering hundred helped SRH post the second-biggest total in the Indian Premier League history – 286/6. RR fought but ended up way too short on 242. Both teams now look to bounce back to open their account in the tournament.
