KKR vs CSK
KKR vs CSK: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will keep their IPL 2025 going as they prepare to take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in match 57 of the season on Wednesday, May 7, at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
The Chennai Super Kings, led by MS Dhoni, enter this match having lost four in a row. The five-time champions, who were already eliminated from playoff contention, now have the opportunity to spoil the fun.
KKR come into the tournament on a high after securing a nail-biting one-run win against Rajasthan Royals at the same ground. The win proved to be a turning point for keeping the playoff hopes alive, and with captain Ajinkya Rahane at the charge, the team is looking to win all their remaining matches while banking on good results from other games.
Meanwhile, MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings come into this encounter after suffering their fourth straight loss. Already out of playoff contention, the five-time champions now have a chance to play party spoilers. Historically, CSK has dominated KKR and will be eager to maintain that advantage.
Kolkata Knight Riders Playing 11 (Probables):Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wicketkeeper), Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane (captain), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Moeen Ali, Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Vaibhav Arora

KKR playoff prospects:
Kolkata Knight Riders’ playoff aspirations are living on a thread currently with Ajinkya Rahane’s team needing to win all his remaining three games in order to qualify for the top 4. Their win in their last game by a narrow run ensured that the hopes are still intact as now they have to face a CSK team who has nothing to lose currently and might be dangerous on the night.
