The Kolkata Knight Riders and the Rajasthan Royals are two of the original teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Both teams started their journeys from the inaugural 2008 season. The Kolkata Knight Riders are in their 18th season, while the Rajasthan Royals are in their 16th season due to their two-year ban in 2015. The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are owned by Knight Riders Sports Private Limited and have Eden Gardens as their home ground. Likewise, the Rajasthan Royals are owned by Royal Multisport Private Limited and host their home games at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.

The Kolkata Knight Riders have been IPL champions thrice, thereby making them the second-most-winning franchise in the league, as of May 2025. Unfortunately, the Rajasthan Royals only won the IPL championship once in the inaugural 2008 IPL season and are yet to win it again since then. For the 2025 IPL season, the Kolkata Knight Riders are being captained by Ajinkya Rahane, while the Rajasthan Royals have missed the services of their regular captain, Sanju Samson, in most of the games. Riyan Parag is leading the side in his absence. The two teams faced off against each other in Guwahati on March 26 in the IPL 2025 league stage match. RR only managed to score 151 runs on the board in the first inning. KKR achieved the target in 17.3 overs with eight wickets in hand, courtesy of Quinton de Kock's score of 97 not out off 61 balls. The two teams again played in a reverse fixture at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on May 04. KKR again managed to win the game against RR, this time by just one run. In a close encounter, KKR scored 206 in the first inning, and RR, who were cruising towards victory at one stage, fell just one run short. (via IPL's official website)
