New Delhi: In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, teams of Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders will face face to face today. This exciting match will be played at Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Both teams will enter the field this season with the intention of registering their first win.
The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) command is in the hands of veteran batsman Ajinkya Rahane this time, who would like to take the team on the path of victory. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals (RR) captained the last match by Ryan Parag, while Sanju Samson was launched as impact player. Even today, Rajasthan's captaincy is likely to live near Parag, while Samson can become part of the team as Impact Player. Talking about the previous matches, KKR had to face defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), while Rajasthan was defeated by Sunrisers Hyderabad. In such a situation, both teams would like to win this match and improve their position in the points table.
Guwahati's Barasapara Cricket Stadium is usually suited to batsmen, but fast bowlers can also help in the initial overs. It is considered difficult to chase the target here in T20 matches. However, the effect of dew has reduced due to the new IPL rules, which can prefer the batting team to win the toss.
There has been a tough competition in the IPL between Rajasthan and Kolkata. Both teams have won 14–14 matches, while one match went to the super over. In the last season also, there was a high scoring match between the two, in which Rajasthan achieved a huge target of 224 runs.
Rajasthan Royals: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Ryan Parag (Captain), Nitish Rana, Dhruv Jurael (wicketkeeper), Shimron Hetmire, Shubham Dubey, Joffra Archer, Mahesh Thikshana, Tushar Deshpande, Sandeep Sharma, Fazalhak Farooqui.

Seeing the current team balance, the Kolkata Knight Riders' pan seems to be heavy on Rajasthan Royals. However, the Rajasthan team is also capable of giving a tough competition. A big score can be seen on this pitch and the audience will get an exciting match.
