KKR Playing XI against RCB in IPL 2025

The 58th match between the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is anticipated to be an exciting match up. The lineups of both teams are excellent. In the point table, KKR are sixth after winning five games, and RCB are second after winning eight games. The game will be interesting for both teams as many things are at stake. 

As the IPL playoffs near, both teams want to get a spot in the playoffs. KKR still has a chance to make it in the top four, while RCB needs one more win to get qualified for the playoffs.

Top Order:

Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sunil Narine will be leading the batting attack for KKR. Even though both openers are not giving good starts, Ajinkya Rahane helps the top order to get runs. Rahane has been leading the side from the front this season. While other batters are failing to score runs he stands tall and helps KKR in getting runs.

Middle Order:

Manish Pandey can get a chance to play for KKR. After some poor performance, Venkatesh Iyer will be dropped by the team ahead of the RCB game. Adding him to the team might be helpful for KKR. He can be a strong pillar in middle order as KKR have struggled in few games because of middle order batters. Angrish Raghuvanshi will also provide help and take the team out of trouble. 

Lower-middle Order:

Rinku Singh and Andre Russell’s responsibility is to finish the game. Both batters can change the game and are good finishers. During the game against Rajasthan Royals, Rinku and Russell helped KKR to reach 200 runs mark. Ramandeep Singh can also stand and get some runs on the scoreboard. 

Lower Order:

For KKR, Anrich Nortje will be in charge of the bowling attack. As the WTC finals draw closer, he seeks to unlock his full potential. Harshit Rana is going to help him. The only spin bowler on the team will be Varun Chakravarthy. His bowling helps KKR in taking crucial wickets during a power play.

Impact Player: Vaibhav Arora will be an additional bowler, who will support the bowling attack. KKR will utilize three pacers at the right time to get breakthroughs.
