The 57th match of IPL 2025 will see Ajinkya Rahane’s Kolkata Knight Riders take on the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings at the historical Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on May 7. This clash holds immense significance for KKR, who are still in the race for a playoff spot, while CSK, already eliminated, will be playing for pride.
KKR enters this contest with momentum, having secured a thrilling one-run victory over the Rajasthan Royals in their previous game and having won two on the trot heading into this fixture. Their batting lineup, led by Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi, has shown improvement, with Rinku Singh and Andre Russell providing firepower in the middle order. On the bowling front, Varun Chakravarthy and Harshit Rana have been instrumental in keeping opposition batters in check.
CSK, on the other hand, has endured a tough season, suffering four consecutive losses. Despite their struggles, they have individual performers like Ayush Mhatre, who recently played a stunning 94-run knock against RCB in their previous fixture, and Noor Ahmad, who leads their wicket charts with 16 scalps. The team will be eager to end their campaign on a high and spoil KKR’s playoff hopes.
Talking about the wicket, the Eden Gardens pitch has favored batters this season, with an average first-innings score of 203. However, pacers have struggled, conceding runs at 10.6 per over, while spinners have been slightly more economical. Dew is expected to play a role in the second innings, making chasing easier.
With KKR needing a win to stay alive in the playoff race and CSK looking to salvage pride, this match promises to be a high-stakes battle.
