They headed into the game needing a win to stay in contention for a playoff spot and KKR did not disappoint as they won the match by 14 runs. KKR has four wins in ten matches and are currently seventh on the table. 

Rajasthan Royals have had an underwhelming campaign this season as they have struggled for consistency and with just three wins in 11 games they have already been knocked out of the competition. In the last game they were beaten by MI. As per our calculations KKR are favourites in the upcoming game.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals Prediction & Betting Tips 2025   

Sunil Narine was brilliant in the opening game of the season against RCB but since then he has struggled to make an impact. So far this season he has scored 178 runs which makes us believe he will score low in the upcoming game.   

Nitish Rana has struggled for consistency this season as so far in this campaign Rana has scored 217 runs with an average of 21.70. In the last two matches he has scored 5 and 9 which makes us believe he will score low in the upcoming game.  

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals Match Toss Prediction

Historically the venue has suited the team that bowled first. The last three of the four games have been won by the team that batted first, regardless we believe both sides would prefer to chase in the upcoming game. 

Weather Report

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals Betting Odds

Kolkata Knight Riders to have a better opening partnership than Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders head into this game after both sides have had disappointing campaigns this season and have struggled to make an impact this season. Rajasthan Royals have looked a shadow of themselves this season as they have only managed to have three wins in 11 matches and along with CSK have been knocked out of the competition. On the other hand Kolkata Knight Riders have nine points in 10 matches and are currently seventh on the table. They need a perfect run in the remaining matches to have a chance of making the playoffs this season. Both sides went head to head earlier this season and KKR dominated the game, they also had a better opening partnership in the game which makes us believe KKR will end up with a better opening stand in the upcoming game.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals Top Batters

Ajinkya Rahane to be Kolkata Knight Riders’ top batter

Ajinkya Rahane continued his brilliant form in the last game as he scored 26 off 14 balls. With 297 runs thus far he is the leading run scorer for his side which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game. 

Yashasvi Jaiswal to be Rajasthan Royals’ top batter

Yashasvi Jaiswal did not have a great game in the last outing but that doesn’t change the fact he has been sensational this season and with 439 runs he is the leading run scorer for his side which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game. 

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals Top Bowlers 

Varun Chakaravarthy to be Kolkata Knight Riders’ top bowler

Varun Chakaravarthy was phenomenal in the last game against DC as he bagged two wickets. With 13 wickets so far, Chakaravarthy is the leading wicket taker for Kolkata Knight Riders which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.   

Wanindu Hasaranga to be Rajasthan Royals’ top bowler

Wanindu Hasaranga did not play the last game but we expect him to return in the starting lineup. He has bagged 10 wickets thus far and is one of the leading wicket takers for his side which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Kolkata Knight Riders

Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals went head to head earlier this season and KKR won the game with eight wickets to spare. RR have already been knocked out of the tournament which is why the bookmakers have sided with KKR and you should do the same as they will bag maximum points in the upcoming game.
