The upcoming IPL 2025 match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals brings personal benchmark opportunities for KKR players Ajinkya Rahane and Varun Chakravarthy. The 37.13 batting average of Rahane during this IPL season positions him at 61 runs from reaching 5000 IPL career runs. Varun Chakravarthy demonstrated his value as a mystery spinner after grabbing 13 wickets and earning an economy rating of 7.15 through ten IPL matches yet remains four wickets away from reaching the milestone of 100 IPL wickets. The players possess genuine prospects to write their names more profoundly into IPL historical registers tonight.
Rahane On The Verge Of Achieving The Milestone Of 5000 IPL Runs
The current season has witnessed Rahane in respectable form as he has accumulated 297 runs in his nine innings while maintaining a solid average of 37.13. A meaningful opening partnership in play could help him achieve the milestone of 5000 IPL runs after he scored 61 and 56 runs in previous matches against LSG and RCB. After achieving the milestone Ajinkya Rahane will join Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as well as seven other batters who achieved this league barrier with more than 5000 runs.

Varun Chakravarthy On The Verge Of Achieving The Milestone Of 100 IPL Wickets
The Kolkata Knight Riders mystery spinner currently holds 13 wickets from his 10 matches while maintaining a 7.15 economy rate for this IPL season. IPL 2025 saw his best bowling performance as he took 3 wickets for a total of 22 runs which solidified his position as KKR’s lead attacking bowler. It may prove difficult to reach the milestone of 4 four-wicket haul yet early Royals’ collapses could present an opportunity for Varun to achieve the milestone of 100 IPL wickets.
