IPL 2025: RR vs KKR head-to-head record, key toss stats in Guwahati

RR captain Sanju Samson holds the record for the most runs in RR vs KKR, with a total of 400 runs, while Sunil Narine has taken the most wickets (14)

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face off on Wednesday, both eager to bounce back after disappointing losses. KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and will be bowling first against hosts Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati.

 

KKR's bowlers, apart from Sunil Narine, struggled against RCB, raising concerns about Varun Chakravarthy's effectiveness. The team hopes Chakravarthy can regain form on a more favourable Guwahati pitch, and the possible return of Anrich Nortje from injury could strengthen their attack. 

 

KKR's middle order, despite a promising start from Ajinkya Rahane and Narine, collapsed, with Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell, and Rinku Singh struggling for consistency. Meanwhile, RR's bowling unit, including Jofra Archer and Fazalhaq Farooqi, was ineffective, and stand-in skipper Riyan Parag's leadership appeared uncertain.  Check IPL 2025 RR vs KKR LIVE SCORE UPDATES here
