Ajinkya Rahane vs Jofra Archer

Rahane has scored just 1 run in 9 balls. He has been out once. Archer bowled 8 dot balls to him. No fours or sixes. Rahane’s strike rate is just 11.1 against Jofra Archer. Archer has always dominated Rahane with sheer pace and bounce.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals Top Players Picks

Kolkata Knight Riders’s Top Players IPL 2025

Sunil Narine

Sunil Narine is doing great with both bat and ball this season. He was off during the first half of the season but he has taken the responsibilities of bowling and batting in his own hands now. He has scored 178 runs and taken 10 wickets in 9 matches. His best with the bat was 44 runs against Chennai Super Kings in a recent match. His best bowling of 3 wickets for 13 runs came against Delhi Capitals in the last match.

Ajinkya Rahane holds an average of over 37 this season. His top score is 61 and he has hit three fifties. In his recent match, he made 26 runs and scored a fifty against GT.

Rajasthan Royals’s Top Players IPL 2025

Yashasvi Jaiswal

Yashasvi Jaiswal is one of the top batters for Rajasthan this season. He has made 439 runs in 11 matches with five fifties. He is also very slow in finding the form this season but in the recent games he has scored five fifty plus scores including three 70s. His highest score is 75 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Jaiswal scored 70* against Gujarat Titans to win the match for his team and make a comeback. He has a strike rate of over 150 runs which makes him more special.

Jofra Archer

Jofra Archer has taken 10 wickets in 11 matches for RR. He is not only contributing with the bat, but he is also supporting his team with his batting ability as we saw in the last match against Mumbai Indians. Jofra Archer scored 30 runs in the last match. He will be important with his bouncers at Eden Gardens. His best this season is 3 for 25 runs. Jofra Archer picked 2 wickets against DC and 1 each against LSG and RCB.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals Dream11 Prediction: Budget Picks

Maheesh Theekshana

Maheesh Theekshana has taken 10 wickets in 10 matches for RR. His best this season was 2 wickets for 35 runs. In recent matches, he picked 1 wicket against MI and 2 against GT. He has great matchups against the KKR batters like Ajinkya Rahane and Sunil Narine.

Angkrish Raghuvanshi

Angkrish Raghuvanshi has scored 241 runs in 9 matches this season. His average is above 40 which shows good consistency. He scored 44 in the last match and also played useful knocks like 37 and 27*. He is a young and talented batter who plays with confidence. Angkrish is becoming a strong part of KKR's top order.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals Dream11 Prediction: Avoid Players

Rovman Powell

Rovman Powell is playing for KKR in IPL 2025 but he is listed at a lower order of Kolkata Knight Riders which has reduced his chances to perform in this match. He is a very destructive player but he is not used as one by KKR. His chance to bat will be very less, so you can avoid him in your team.

Fazalhaq Farooqi

Fazalhaq Farooqi is out of form this season and is ineffective too. His pace has reduced over the time which has affected his swing bowling in the powerplay. Farooqi not only is ineffective during the first six over mark but he is also going for plenty during the back end of the inning. If he plays, you can avoid him in your dream11 team.
