Rajasthan Royals struggled to 151/9 against Kolkata Knight Riders in their IPL 2025 clash on Wednesday after a middle-order collapse halted their early momentum. The Riyan Parag-led team scored 54 runs in the PowerPlay but lost momentum as the middle order collapsed. Dhruv Jurel was the top scorer with 33 off 25 balls, but wickets kept falling at the other end. This is the lowest total recorded by any team in this season’s tournament.
KKR’s Varun Chakaravarthy was the standout bowler, claiming two wickets for just 17 runs. Rajasthan Royals have a history of defending low totals, with their lowest being 144 against KKR in 2013. They repeated the feat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2022. If Rajasthan manages to defend this total, it will be among the lowest successfully defended scores in the franchise’s history.
