The IPL 2025 match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals saw Nitish Rana facing his former franchise, KKR. Rana, who was not retained by KKR in the mega auction, was dismissed for just eight runs, leading to fans mocking him for his previous remark on loyalty. KKR CEO Venky Mysore’s reaction to Rana’s dismissal went viral as he smiled wittily from the stands. In the match, KKR restricted Rajasthan to 151/9, with Varun Chakravarthy and Moeen Ali’s spin bowling proving to be the game-changer. KKR chased down the target easily, with opener Quinton de Kock’s unbeaten 97 off 61 balls guiding them to victory by 8 wickets. This win marked KKR’s first points of the season.
