The 6th match of the ongoing IPL 2025 will be played between former champions Rajasthan Royals and current champions Kolkata Knight Riders. Both teams have started the tournament with a loss but one of them will definitely make a comeback. The Royals seems to have massive concerns in their bowling while the Knight Riders looked a bit rusty.
Talking about the Head to Head Record of both teams, they have played 29 games against each other. The 2008 winners have won 12 while the three-time winners, KKR have won 14. However, one also needs to remember that both teams will play in Guwahati, where the Pink Brigade doesn’t have a great record.

This is the best possible playing XI for the first match of the tournament. The playing XI is expected to be the same unless the pitch demands other players to be included. However, there is an impact player rule which makes one of these players be replaced during the game.
