Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders Chance of Winning

Rajasthan Royals were brilliant in the group stages last season but in the second half of the campaign they struggled and their struggles continued in the playoffs last season. They went head to head against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the opening game and lost the game by 44 runs.

Kolkata Knight Riders, unlike last season, struggled in the opening game of the season against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. They got off to a great start but struggled in the last six overs and eventually lost the game by seven wickets. As per our calculations, KKR are favourites in the upcoming game.

Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Sanju Samson was one of the most consistent players for Rajasthan Royals last season. He scored 531 runs last term. In the opening game against SRH, Samson scored 66 which makes us believe he will score well in the upcoming game.

Venkatesh Iyer was brilliant for Madhya Pradesh in limited overs format this season. Last year Iyer scored 370 runs with an average of 46.25 and even though he struggled in the opening game, we believe Iyer will score well in the upcoming game.

Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders Match Toss Prediction

Historically the venue has suited the team that batted first. The last two matches have been won by the team that bowled first which makes us believe both sides would prefer to chase in the upcoming game.

Weather Report

Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders Betting Odds

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

Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals head into the game after both sides struggled in the first game of the campaign. Rajasthan Royals had a brilliant start last season but faltered in the second half of the campaign. This season in the opening game they went head to head against Sunrisers Hyderabad who dominated with the bat as they scored 286 runs in the first innings and RR lost the game by 44 runs. On the other hand, the defending champions went head to head against RCB at home and failed to capitalise on a brilliant start as they only scored 174 runs on a flat batting wickets and eventually lost the game by seven wickets. Sunil Narine and Sunju Samson both got off to a great start but its the form of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Quinton De Kock that would be a cause of concern for both sides. We expect Jaiswal to bounce back and RR to have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders Top Batters

Riyan Parag to be Rajasthan Royals’ top batter

Riyan Parag did not have a great start to the campaign against SRH regardless we are going to back him once again as with 573 runs he was the leading run scorer for his side last season which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Ajinkya Rahane to be Kolkata Knight Riders’ top batter

Ajinkya Rahane headed into this campaign after an impressive display for Mumbai in domestic tournaments. In the opening game he scored a brilliant half century which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders Top Bowlers

Jofra Archer to be Rajasthan Royals’ top bowler

Jofra Archer had a dismal debut for Rajasthan Royals against SRH regardless we are going to back him once again because of his quality and expect him to bounce back which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Varun Chakaravarthy to be Kolkata Knight Riders’ top bowler

Varun Chakaravarthy did not have a great start to the tournament as he struggled against RCB. He has been one of the most consistent bowlers for KKR last season and was also the leading wicket taker which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Kolkata Knight Riders

Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders head into this game after both sides struggled in the opening game of the campaign. On paper KKR look far more settled which is probably why the bookmakers have sided with KKR in this game and you should do the same as they would register their first win of the season in the upcoming game.
