Kolkata Knight Riders will be eyeing another win when they take on Rajasthan Royals in the 53rd match of IPL 2025. The KKR vs RR match is scheduled to be played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday (May 4).
The defending champions have kept alive their slim chances of making it to the playoffs with a hard-fought win over Delhi Capitals in their last game. Batting first, the three-time IPL champions scored 204/9 in 20 overs.
In reply, DC were on 136/3 in the 14th over and were looking destined to win the game. However, a brilliant 3-wicket haul from Sunil Narine helped KKR turn the game on its head and eventually restrict DC to 190/9 to register a 14-run win.
KKR are currently at the seventh spot in the points table with 4 wins from 10 games. A win over RR will surely put them in contention for the last four. Earlier this season, KKR thrashed RR by 8 wickets in Guwahati and will be confident of beating them once again.
RR, on the other hand, have nothing to lose as they have already been knocked out of the tournament. Their exit was confirmed after their loss in the last game against the Mumbai Indians. Chasing 218 runs, RR were bowled out for just 100 runs and suffered their 8th loss in 11 games this season.
With only pride to play for, RR will be hoping to get back to winning ways as they look to end their campaign on a high. As KKR and RR gear up for the match, we are taking a look at all the details regarding the live streaming and broadcasting.
