The 6th match of the ongoing IPL 2025 will be played between the defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders and 2008 winners Rajasthan Royals. Both teams have started the season with a loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad respectively. However, both teams won’t panic too much as this is the start of the tournament.
Notably, the Royals are playing their first two home games in Guwahati, which has been a strange phenomenon in the last couple of seasons. Meanwhile, they don’t have a great record at this venue. After playing four games, they have lost twice to Punjab Kings, won against Delhi Capitals and their match against KKR was abandoned due to rain last year.
