RR vs KKR Pitch Report & Weather Updates at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati: IPL 2025 Match 6

The sixth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will witness the clash between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on March 26.

With both teams desperate to recover from shaky starts, this fixture offers them a chance to climb out of the lower rungs of the points table, where KKR and RR currently find themselves stuck in ninth and 10th places respectively.

Rajasthan Royals kicked off their IPL 2025 campaign against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and found themselves overwhelmed by a ferocious batting display, led by Ishan Kishan, who scored his maiden IPL century. SRH piled on a colossal 286/6 with RR’s bowling unit struggling to find answers.

Despite a spirited response from Sanju Samson, brought in as an impact substitute, and a fiery knock from Dhruv Jurel, RR finished at 242/6, losing by 44 runs.

Kolkata Knight Riders, fresh off their 2024 title triumph, began their defense against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at Eden Gardens, only to stumble under the spotlight. At a belter of a pitch, KKR could only gather 174 runs in their 20 overs. RCB, led by Virat Kohli's unbeaten fifty, completed the run-chase in 16.2 overs as KKR lost by seven wickets.

For RR, led by local hero Riyan Parag, the match is a homecoming with added pressure to deliver. KKR, under Ajinkya Rahane’s leadership, will aim to recapture the magic that crowned them champions in 2024.
