KKR vs RR Dream11 Match Prediction | Who Will Win Today Match
Kolkata, April 25, Thursday at 08:00 PM IST
The Thursday’s clash in the Vivo IPL 2019 is scheduled to be played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata between the hosts Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals. Both the sides have faced defeats in their last encounters and would be desperate for a win.

On the opposite, Rajasthan Royals have managed three wins in ten encounters and are sitting at the bottom place. Along with securing wins in each of the remaining encounters, Royals need to finish off with a better run rate to fancy their chances in the playoff.
While the road to the playoffs is quite difficult for both the sides, let’s see who manages to keep their nerve cool in crucial situations. The match will start at 08:00 PM IST.
We are back home, and this man has a special connection with Eden! ?
