KKR Toss Analysis (Captain)
If we look at KKR’s last five match toss records, we notice that they did not win any of the tosses in the prior five games, resulting in all losses in the toss. They played one game at home and lost the toss; they then played two games away, losing the toss in one of them and having the other one washed out due to rain. In the playoffs, they played two matches in which KKR lost the toss in both, indicating that the toss had recently not favored them.

They have only played one match away from home where they lost the toss, and they have only played one match in the qualifiers where they lost the toss, indicating that the toss is not helping the RCB team here either.

KKR vs RCB Toss Prediction
In the season opener of the IPL 2025 between KKR and RCB, we expect KKR to win the toss and elect to field first because they are playing at home in front of their fans in the season opener of the IPL 2025, so toss luck may favor KKR’s captain Ajinkya Rahane against RCB, and as previous statistics suggest, they may also choose to field first. Though the toss did not favor them, we believe that this season they are playing with the new captain, so toss luck may change as they compete in the new season with new energy and passion.
