Both teams will be looking to return to winning ways after suffering defeats in their opening game of the season. The defending champions, KKR, will look to get a big total on the board to ensure the bowlers have enough to work with.
RR under Riyan Parag’s captaincy will look to improve themselves on the field. Considering that their fielding let them down in a high-scoring game, they would want to plug those holes to ensure the batters have to work for their runs.
Expect warm and humid conditions in Guwahati here, and dew is likely to play a factor in the second innings. So, winning the toss and batting first could be the call for both teams here.
The Rajasthan Royals have locked horns with the Kolkata Knight Riders 29 times in the IPL. Both sides have won 14 matches each and one match without a result.
The match is set to begin at 7:30 PM (IST) at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati.

Ahead of the fifth match of IPL 2025, here’s a look at head-to-head stats of 29 IPL matches played so far between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders.
Matches: 29
RR won: 14
KKR won: 14
No result: 1
 
With the lack of someone like Mitchell Starc as an out-and-out wicket-taker, KKR might be relying even more on Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy to get them more wickets in the middle-stages. They may need a fast-bowling option as well who could do the job that the Aussie quick did in the last season.
The RR bowling attack has not been able to deliver as a collective. The first thing on RR’s agenda would be to ensure that RR can get a genuine wicket-taking option in the middle-stages. Perhaps Wanindu Hasaranga could get a look-in.
The defending champions have not shown signs of the form that took them to the title in the last season. The middle-order was particularly disappointing against spin and could be a big vulnerability for the Rahane-led side.
A high-scoring game could be on the cards here. Riyan Parag with his experience of playing here could also be a big advantage for the Royals here. But it remains to be seen if he can step up from the captaincy front.
