Kolkata Knight Riders are all set to lock horns with Rajasthan Royals in the sixth match of the ongoing Indian Premier League. KKR are currently at the second last position in the IPL 2025 points table and the defending champions will look to turn the table around very quickly. The Ajinkya Rahane-led Kolkata side suffered a heartbreaking loss at the hands of arch-rivals Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
