Riyan Parag and Shubham Dubey produced a late offensive attack, but Kolkata Knight Riders prevailed through a nail-biting one-run win at Eden Gardens. The match continuously changed direction throughout the evening before ending with one of the most suspenseful IPL 2025 matches on the final delivery.
A Match of Margins and Missed Moments
Rajasthan Royals have faced an extremely unfortunate season throughout 2025. Rajasthan Royals started IPL 2025 with an undermanned roster because of their poor auction choices, yet they managed to obtain better results than expected throughout the campaign. The catastrophic conclusion of Sunday’s match represented one of many unfortunate episodes that denied the Rajasthan Royals their precious victory in the last seconds of the game.
During the chase, Rajasthan found it impossible to overcome the target until Riyan Parag demonstrated his vast abilities by striking six consecutive sixes over two overs. Through his extraordinary performance, Parag propelled the Rajasthan Royals into a winning position during the match.
Russell Special Rescues KKR
After KKR suffered quick wickets, Andre Russell entered to play the match-defining innings which had eluded the team for its entire season. His distinctive trademark performance of the season allowed Russell to knock out vital hits that secured KKR’s competitive score at the match. Russell showed crucial instincts during critical moments to help his team in the game’s determining phase.
Final Over Drama
As Vaibhav Arora entered the final over needing 19 runs from four balls, he lost his control of the match. Shubham Dubey appeared anxious up until that point, but then found a crucial racetrack. His first Premier League six appeared when he hit the ball clean over square leg, and he delivered another powerful four through midwicket and finished with a full toss drive down the ground for his third six of the over.
