KKR vs RR Match Prediction & Analysis
Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Rajasthan Royals at their home venue in search of a way back in the race to the playoffs. The hosts have been inconsistent at this venue. Their batting hasn’t been reliable this season. Most of their key batsmen have failed to deliver.
Rajasthan Royals, a promising side that made it to the Finals a few seasons ago, has had a disappointing season. There were a few games that the Royals lost by a tiny margin, including one in the super over.
Samson’s injury has also affected the overall team balance. With just 3 wins from 11 games, the Royals are out of the race for the playoffs. After a convincing win at home against the Titans, the Royals’ batting collapsed in the next game, in a similar run-chase.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal are the key batters in the top order to watch out for. While skipper Riyan Parag is also in fine touch, he’s not been able to convert his starts into something big.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Kolkata Knight Riders Preview
Sunil Narine and Anukul Roy led KKR to a 14-run win against the mighty Capitals in their last outing at an away venue. The spinners were exceptional in delivering consistent breakthroughs while defending 204 runs.
KKR need their top-order to step up and deliver big in this game. They’ve got a deep lineup with big hitters like Rinku Singh and Andre Russell in the lower order.
However, without a good start, the finishers won’t have much to build on. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sunil Narine open the innings for the Knight Riders. Both of them have an attacking approach to their batting. On their best day, they can make a huge impact in the power play.
While the decision to replace Quinton de Kock with Gurbaz doesn’t sit well with experts and analysts, the latter isn’t a bad option for the opening position. Ajinkya Rahane holds the key to a big score. He will be crucial in striking partnerships at number 3 in this batting order.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi has shown great promise this year in the middle-order, but we believe he’s better suited at the top of the order. The young gun needs more freedom to play his shots, which he would find in the opener’s role.
Harshit Rana, one of the best bowlers for KKR last season, hasn’t been in good form this year. Vaibhav Arora is another key wicket-taker for the hosts. Sunil Narine will be one to watch out for, along with the experienced Andre Russell, who’s got the ability to deliver crucial breakthroughs.
KKR Over/Under Betting Tips
Rinku Singh played a blinder of a knock in the last match against KKR (36 runs in 25 balls). He has scored 99 runs in 4 matches at Kolkata this season and is averaging a staggering 49.50, striking at 176.78. Coming into bat at no 5 or 6 he has been impactful with his power hitting.
Rahane has scored 50, 61, 38 & 56 in the four matches played at Kolkata this season. He is in top form and has scored runs consistently leading from the front. With his team in desperate need of a win, expect another impactful knock from Rahane against the Royals.
Kolkata Knight Riders Predicted Playing XI:
Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane (c), Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Andre Russell, Rovman Powell, Harshit Rana, Anukul Roy, Varun Chakaravarthy, Vaibhav Arora

Rajasthan Royals Preview
Rajasthan Royals were off to a losing start this season. They secured back-to-back wins soon after, but their performances were always inconsistent. RR secured a win in their 4th match, and since then, they managed to win just 1 of their 7 games.
In the early stages, they looked very promising, and in the middle, there were some pretty close finishes in which they ended on the losing side. Had those 3 close encounters turned out in RR’s favor, they would have been in the top 5 by now.
Samson has been out of the XI with injury, and Riyan Parag is leading the side. Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s hundred broke all records as RR clinched their 3rd win of the season.
However, in a similar situation at the same ground in the very next match, the Royals lost both openers early in the run chase. A collapse from there on resulted in a 100-run loss for the Royals, and they were eventually eliminated from the race to the playoffs.
Nitish Rana, Riyan Parag, and Dhruv Jurel are the key middle-order batters responsible for building partnerships and taking the score beyond par. Rana’s been struggling to find his rhythm while Parag has been quite good.
Parag and Jurel will be crucial for the Royals in this game and are expected to lead the batting effort in the middle order. Shimron Hetmyer is the finisher for RR and needs to come good for the team.
Jofra Archer, Fazhalhaq Farooqi, and Akash Madhwal are all quality bowlers in the pace attack for the Royals. In addition, M Theekshana will be the key spinner for the side. The lack of form and consistency from the bowlers is a major concern for RR going into this match.
Rajasthan Royals Predicted Playing XI:
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Nitish Rana, Riyan Parag (c), Dhruv Jurel (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Kumar Kartikeya, Akash Madhwal, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Shubham Dubey

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
While the weather forecast is for scattered showers in Kolkata on the match day, it is likely to be partly cloudy around the match time with a high of 32 degrees Celsius. The last game here was washed out due to rain after the first innings. We don’t expect a similar fate for this one.

High Turn
It is a balanced wicket at the Eden Gardens. There has been some help for the spinners historically, and in recent years, we have also seen 200+ scores. Considering the small dimensions of the ground, it becomes easier to clear the boundaries often. The average 1st innings score in the last 5 matches here is 202 runs. Anything below 200 will not be easy to defend on this ground.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
The average total match score in the last 4 IPL matches played at Eden Gardens is 376. We predict another high scoring game on a good batting track and the total match score to cross the 369 mark.
We predict the home team, KKR to win the coin toss in match 53 of Tata IPL 2025.
Toss: To Bat
Teams batting first have won 3 of the 4 matches played at this venue in Kolkata. Spinners will find help at this venue in the second innings and could put the chasing team under pressure and get the upper hand in this contest. Moreover, it's a day match, and there won't be any due to help the chasing team.
KKR vs RR
Winning Prediction
Both teams feature a solid batting lineup with immensely talented players at every position in the order. However, both sides have struggled with inconsistencies lately. KKR will have the home advantage on their side, and after the recent bowling performance that led them to a win, we reckon the hosts will be confident of securing a win at home. KKR will start as favorites in our match prediction.
