KKR vs RR head-to-head records [Source: AP]
The Kolkata Knight Riders are set to head back home and host the Rajasthan Royals at the Eden Gardens in Match 28 of IPL 2026 on April 19 at 3:30 PM (IST).
In the first of the two fixtures of the day, the Knight Riders, who are yet to win any match this season will have an uphill task to get the first win of the season against an in-form RR outfit. The RR are comfortably placed in the top half of the table, with four wins in five matches, contrary to KKR’s solitary point, keeping them at number 10.
Thanks to the in-form Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, alongside the overseas stars like Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger, RR have settled into the tournament very quickly. KKR are still chopping and changing to find their best combination, as their wait for Matheesha Pathirana to join them continues.
As the sides meet on Sunday afternoon, here’s a look at their head-to-head records in 18 years of IPL encounters.
