Quinton de Kock fires the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders to an emphatic 8-wicket victory against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025 at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati.
de Kock's blazing 97*-run knock did the job for the visitors who picked up their first win on the season to finally kick start their title defence now. The Knight Riders chased down the modest 152 within 18 overs as Raghuvanshi played a supportive knock of 22 runs in the end.
For Rajasthan, it is a second successive win in the season as skipper Riyan Parag has 2 losses in as many games now under his captaincy.
Earlier, Rajasthan Royals are restricted to a total of 151/9 in their 20 overs by Kolkata Knight Riders as the spinners bamboozle the RR batting order in IPL 2025 at the Barasapara Stadium in Guwahati.
Put to bat first, RR openers Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal couldn't give their side a strong start on what is a sticky wicket on the night. While Jaiswal managed to hit a few big shots, his opening partner departed on an unlucky thirteen on the night.
Moeen Ali, who came in as a replacement for the unwell Sunil Narine managed to take 2 scalps as spinners proved to be the star performers for the defending champions. Varun Chakaravarthy, and pacers Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Arora also took 2 to their name as they managed to limit the big hitters of RR in Guwahati. Spencer Johnson also managed to get himself a scalp in the final over of the innings as RR set a 152-run target for KKR
It will be interesting to see how the RR bowlers assess the conditions and make the most of it in order to get their first win this season. RR 1st innings scorecard:
