Pitch Report :

The pitch at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati will allow for good stroke play and the batters will find it easy to bat on the surface. The surface will not allow a lot of assistance to the bowlers and wicket taking is not going to be easy. It’s winter in India so there will be some help on offer with the new ball. Dew could also play a significant role in the outcome of the match. There should not be much swing available early on, allowing batters to go hard from ball one. Chasing could be the preferred option upon winning the toss, with dew likely to come into play in the second innings.

The average first innings score here is 190 runs so far.

Preview :

Rajasthan Royals (RR) will Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 6th match of the Indian Premier League 2025 on Wednesday, at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Both sides are heading into this fixture after suffering defeats in their opening encounters. The reigning champion Kolkata Knight Riders suffered a 7-wicket defeat in their opening encounter against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at home. They will be facing the inaugural season winner, Rajasthan Royals, in this game.

On the other Rajasthan Royals suffered a 44-run defeat in a high-scoring fixture against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). They bowled badly to concede a massive score but batted well to avoid significant damage.

Rajasthan Royals, whose bowlers were mercilessly taken for cleaners by the Sunrisers batters during their trip to Hyderabad, where they conceded a colossal 286 for 6 in 20 overs. The visitors didn’t panic at all in the run-chase and gave their all to post 242 for 6, eventually losing in the end by 44 runs. Dhruv Jurel (70), Sanju Samson (66), Shimron Hetmyer (42), and Shubham Dubey (34*) played their roles well but weren’t able to guide the side home. Riyan Parag’s captaincy stint didn’t begin in the right way as he was put under pressure straight away and he needs to be more proactive in the next two matches. Apart from Tushar Deshpande, who got 3 wickets, no other bowler was effective. Now they head to their second home, Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati where they play their next 2 matches.

On the other hand Kolkata Knight Riders not to take anything for granted as they got thoroughly thrashed by 7 wickets at the hands of newly formed Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the tournament opener. Asked to bat first on a batting belter, Knight Riders quickly surged to 107 for 2 in the first 10 overs. New skipper Ajinkya Rahane (56) in the company of Sunil Narine (44) added a 103-run stand for the 2nd wicket in no time.

After losing the duo in the span of 3 deliveries, they suffered a huge collapse in the middle overs and only managed 67 runs in the last 10 overs. In the defense, even their best bowlers have gone for plenty, especially Varun Chakravarthy, who had an off day going at 10.75 runs an over with a wicket to his name. Spencer Johnson on his KKR debut leaked 31 runs in just 2.2 overs. Sunil Narine did a fine job, picking up a wicket at an economy of 6.75.

Team Guide

Makes various team combinations with the help of these information.

*RR*

Sanju Samson :

Sanju Samson is the key batter for his side and has been in terrific form lately and scored 66 in the first game against SRH. He looked in great touch despite not being 100% fit. He has 529 runs against KKR in 20 innings at an average of 29.4 including three fifties. Must have pick.

Dhruv Jurel :

Dhruv Jurel's form is a great sign for the RR going forward. He was justified his price tag in the first match. He scored 70 in just 35 deliveries with the strike rate of 200 with the help of 5 fours and 6 sixes. Punt pick.

Yashasvi Jaiswal :

Yashasvi Jaiswal is the star opener, we all know how capable he is and what he can do on his day. Jaiswal has 139 runs against KKR at an average of 46.3 at a strike rate of 182.9 with a top score of 98. Default c/vc pick from batter section.

Riyan Parag :

Riyan Parag was phenomenal for Rajasthan in IPL 2024 smashed most 573 runs at an average of 52.09 and will play an even more pivotal role at number 4 this year as well as. But he's managed to scored just 106 runs at an average of 17.7 in six innings against the KKR. He is a good player of spin bowling and can play according to the situation. Parag may also bowl an over or two. Another safest c/vc pick.

Nitish Rana :

Nitish Rana is the quality batting allrounder who will bat at 3 or 4 for the Royals. He scored 50(29) in his only innings against the his former team KKR. He may roll his arm over if required. Punt pick.

Wanindu Hasaranga :

Wanindu Hasaranga is the star Srilankan bowling allrounder who has a 5-fer against SRH in the IPL. KKR’s current batting unit is excellent against spin but their attacking nature can go against them. Hasaranga has six wickets in three games against KKR. He is expected to play this match. Must have pick.

Jofra Archer :

Jofra Archer is the leading English pacer is making a comeback in the IPL after a long absence but he was gone wicketless and given 76 runs in his four overs in first game. He has the ability to contribute with the ball at all the important stages of a game and that makes him one of the prime choices for the match.

Tushar Deshpande :

Tushar Deshpande will be mostly used in the middle and death overs. He was by far better than the rest of the Rajasthan Royals bowlers against Sunrisers Hyderabad where he picked up 3 wickets. He also has has five wickets in five games against the Knight Riders. Must have pick.

*KKR*

Quinton de Kock :

Quinton de Kock is an experienced wicketkeeper batter who's having a quiet year in T20s (9 inns, 163 runs, avg. 18.1, SR 114.0) but he can fire on a good batting pitch. He also has 389 runs in 12 innings against the Royals at an average of 35.40 with three fifties. Good pick.

Ajinkya Rahane :

Ajinkya Rahane has reinvented himself to fit the modern-day cricketing mold with his attacking batting. He slammed 56 from 31 balls against in the IPL 2025 opener against RCB which included 6 fours and 4 sixes. He's coming from decent domestic season and scored 469 runs at an average of 58.62 in 8 innings in SMAT 2024. The vateran Indian top order batter has a poor record (59 runs, 5 innings) against Rajasthan but based on his current form and RR’s new ball attack. One of the best captaincy choice for grand league.

Venkatesh Iyer :

Venkatesh Iyer can tap into RR's lack of top class spin bowling. He's stay ended for just 6 against RCB. The left-hander was superb in the IPL last season, where he scored 370 runs at an average of 46.25 and strike rate of 158.79. He has played just four games against the RR and scored 109 runs against them. Good pick.

Rinku Singh :

Rinku Singh has been known for his brilliant strike rate and he has consistently delivered crucial knocks in high-pressure situations, particularly in the death overs. Having joined KKR in 2018, he has grown steadily and has amassed 905 runs across 41 innings in his IPL career. Punt pick.

Sunil Narine :

Sunil Narine is the most prolific all-rounder in the KKR squad, opening the innings for his team and making full use of the field restrictions in the first six overs. In the 2024 IPL season, Narine delivered a standout all-round performance, scoring 488 runs and picking up 17 wickets at an exceptional economy rate of just 6.73. Narine always comes up with special performances for his long-lasting associated franchise Kolkata Knight Riders. He made 44 runs and picked up a wicket against RCB. Narine has picked up 14 wickets in 19 innings against RR. He was smashed his only IPL century (109 off 56) in previous season against the RR. Default c/vc pick.

Andre Russell :

Andre Russell has pure Caribbean power and simply looks to knock the ball out of the park every time, he generates tremendous power by hitting the ball with full force, which can score him and his team many runs in the death overs. Russell strikes at 158.7 (300 runs) and has 7 wickets against RR. Another safest c/vc pick.

Varun Chakravarthy :

Varun Chakravarthy going through with supream form with the ball and he He has nine wickets in seven games against Rajasthan at an economy of 7.40. Must have pick.

Harshit Rana :

Harshit Rana could go for runs but he is a genuine wicket-taker for his team. He took the fourth-most wickets in IPL 2024 (19) with the high economy of 9.08. He has two wickets in as many matches against the RR. Good pick.
