Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 57 of the IPL 2025 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on May 7. With KKR fighting to stay alive in the playoff race and CSK already eliminated, the stakes are far higher for the home side in this iconic rivalry.
KKR are sixth on the table with 11 points and must win all their remaining matches to remain in playoff contention. While their spin duo of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy has been consistent, the batting has been unstable, with Venkatesh Iyer’s form being a major concern. However, Andre Russell’s return to form offers timely hope. KKR’s tactics have often lacked clarity, and they can’t afford further missteps, especially at home.
Chennai Super Kings, meanwhile, are out of the playoff race and are now focusing on rebuilding. Injuries to key players like Ruturaj Gaikwad forced MS Dhoni to return as captain, but even his presence hasn’t turned things around. CSK are now using their final games to test youngsters like Urvil Patel. Their unpredictability remains a threat to any side, including KKR.
