Kunal Singh Rathore would be keen to make a solid impact with bat in the ongoing game against Kolkata Knight Riders. With the franchise now building up for the next year, he would want to make a statement and retain his place for next year.

Rajasthan Royals looked in torrid touch with the bat and ball in the ongoing IPL 2025. The franchise has been eliminated from the tournament and now would want to spoil the party for others. Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand, are still in contention and would want to go one step ahead with a win today.
