RR vs KKR Highlights, IPL 2024: The match between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders was abandoned due to rain at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. KKR captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and opted to bowl first after the toss took place with a delay of around 3 hours and 30 minutes, thus forcing the match to be reduced to 7-overs-a-side. The rain returned soon after that and forced the match to be called off. The no-result meant that RR finished at the third spot in the points table, setting up an Eliminator clash with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2024 playoffs. On the other hand, it is SunRisers Hyderabad that will face KKR in Qualifier 1. (Scorecard | IPL 2024 Points Table | Playoffs Schedule)

Travelling to Ahmedabad and then back home in Kolkata for a day's practice and again heading to Guwahati for the final league clash could be quite frustrating and break their rhythm of four-match winning streak. It remains to be seen if the Gautam Gambhir-mentored side manage to hold on to the winning momentum without appearing to be rusty.
