Both teams are likely to stick with the same playing eleven for this match.
Match No. 53 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Kolkata Knight Riders are coming into this match after a 14-run win over Delhi Capitals. So far, they have played 10 matches, with four wins, five losses, and one match that ended without a result. They need to win this game to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Rajasthan Royals suffered a heavy 100-run defeat against Mumbai Indians in their last game. They have managed only three wins from 11 matches and lost eight, which means they are no longer in the playoff race.
Both teams are likely to stick with the same playing eleven for this match.
KKR included Anukul Roy in their playing eleven in the previous match, and since he was part of their winning combination, they might stick with him for this match too.
KKR XI (confirmed): Rahmanullah Gurbaz(w), Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane(c), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Moeen Ali, Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Vaibhav Arora
