Kolkata Knight Riders Seek First Win as Rajasthan Royals Aim to Continue Dominance
KKR vs RR: Every match will be crucial for KKR, as any defeat from here on out could jeopardize their playoff hopes. Today, they face RR. Before that, let's take a look at the strengths and weaknesses of both teams, along with their statistics.
Kolkata Knight Riders is the only team that hasn’t won a game in the 2026 IPL season. In an upcoming match on Sunday, Kolkata Knight Riders will be looking to get their first win of the season when they play against the formidable Rajasthan Royals at their home ground, Eden Gardens.
Across the head-to-head record for IPL encounters, KKR and Rajasthan Royals have faced each other 32 times in the past. Out of the total number of meetings, KKR have won 16 matches, while Rajasthan Royals have won 14 matches. Two games have ended in draws.
Meanwhile, KKR has been weak in every aspect of the game this season, be it batting, bowling, fielding, and captaincy. When batsmen score runs, their bowlers become vulnerable. Selecting the right players in the playing eleven and having them bat or bowl in the correct order has also been a challenge for KKR. Except for captain Rahane's opening position, no player's batting order is fixed, a disadvantage KKR is facing.
