Rajasthan Royals Team Review

RR began their IPL 2025 journey with a disappointing 44-run defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad. Their bowling attack was under pressure, giving away 286 runs in 20 overs. Tushar Deshpande was the best bowler, claiming 3 wickets for 44 runs, while Maheesh Theekshana also chipped in with 2 wickets but was expensive.

During the pursuit, RR fought well, making 242 runs, but were short of the target. Dhruv Jurel was their best player, smashing 70 runs from 35 balls, and Sanju Samson contributed 66 runs from 37 balls. Shimron Hetmyer and Shubham Dubey also contributed good runs. With a well-balanced team, RR will be hoping to make adjustments to get their first win.

Kolkata Knight Riders Team Review

Defending title holders KKR also faced a defeat in their opening match, losing to Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 7 wickets. Batting first, they were able to score 174 runs in their 20 overs, with Ajinkya Rahane showing the way with 56 runs from 31 balls. Sunil Narine (44 runs), Angkrish Raghuvanshi (30 runs), and Rinku Singh (12 runs) chipped in.

KKR’s bowling attack, though, struggled and could not defend their score. Sunil Narine, Varun Chakaravarthy, and Vaibhav Arora took a wicket each, but the team could not hold back the opposition, who completed the chase in 16.2 overs.
