The eighteenth season of the mega tournament of cricket has started with a lot of fun and excitement. It has hooked the cricketing fans across the country, showcasing new talents and the experienced ones sharing the same field and fighting for their respective IPL franchise. It has been an exciting tournament so far. On 26th march, 2025, Rajasthan Royals will be going to face the Kolkata Knight Riders.

The tournament started with the defending Champions KKR’s clash with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Eden Gardens. RCB won the match with a run chase of 177 runs. Following this, RR will also be playing their second match, as they already went against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. During this game, SRH had won the match by 44 runs. Now, it will be exciting to see how both the teams, RR and KKR are going to perform while facing each other. 

Here are the top 3 player battles to watch out for the RR vs KKR clash:

1. Varun Chakravarthy and Sanju Samson: 

Varun Chakravarthy had shown his bowling skills quite well during the Champion Trophy tournament while playing for team India. He has been in great form since then. The star player is expected to play the role of the mystery spinner for the Kolkata Knight Riders. He is expected to cut through the batting line-up of the Rajasthan Royals and take an early wicket of Sanju Samson.

2. Jofra Archer and Andrew Russell: 

It is going to be great to witness the two powerful stars Andrew Russell and Jofra Archer face off against each other. Russell has to control his batting prowess, and has to dodge the powerful pace and deadly bouncers showcased by Archer. 

3. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sunil Narine: 

Yashasvi is known for his fearless batting skills and has proven his worth multiple times while playing for the country. It can be expected that the young batter will also prove to be beneficial for the RR side. On the other hand, there is no doubt about Sunil Narine’s performance and it can be expected that he will show his spin skills with the ball to take on the star batter.
