The 53rd fixture of the IPL 2025 season will feature the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) take on the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Eden Gardens, Kolkata today. KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and elected to bat first against Rajasthan on the day.
 
KKR, who have already secured a win over RR earlier in the season, will be eager to complete a double against them. With only four victories in ten games so far, the reigning champions find themselves in a tough spot, sitting at seventh in the standings and needing every win to stay in the playoff race. 
 
 
Rajasthan Royals, much like their opponents, have endured an inconsistent campaign. However, they showed signs of resurgence earlier this week by defeating the high-flying Gujarat Titans by 8 wickets, snapping a five-game losing streak. RR will be keen to build on that momentum and seek revenge for their previous loss to KKR.
 
As the two sides prepare for this crucial encounter, all eyes will be on the weather and pitch conditions that could influence the outcome of the game.  Check KKR vs RR IPL 2025 full scorecard here
