Overview

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) continue their ongoing IPL 2025 campaign by taking on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their upcoming match. Both sides will face off at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata in the 57th game of the tournament on Wednesday, May 07.

Kolkata will be coming into the clash after registering a one-run win over Rajasthan Royals at the same venue. The recent win has kept their hopes alive to stay in the race for a playoff berth. The Ajinkya Rahane-led side will look to win all their remaining games and hope other team results land in their favour. 

On the other hand, the MS Dhoni-led side is coming off its fourth consecutive defeat. Being the first team to be eliminated this season, the Yellow Army has a good opportunity to spoil other teams’ parties. Notably, CSK has had an upper hand over the Men in Purple in the past and will look to better that.

Eden Gardens Pitch Report

The Eden Gardens pitch is expected to be an even contest. This season, the surface has helped seamers early with swing and bounce, while making it tough for spinners due to even grass cover.  Dew could play a major role in the second innings. In the previous match here, slow bowlers found grip and success, but this time, the pitch is expected to favour batters more. The team that wins the toss might look to bat first and put on a good total.

Temperature: 25-28°C (night).

Humidity: 60-75%, humid due to coastal proximity.

Angkrish Raghuvanshi
Angkrish Raghuvanshi

Angkrish Raghuvanshi could be the best batter in the upcoming game against the Chennai Super Kings. With 285 runs in his last 10 innings, the right-hand batter has been a dependable batter for the defending champions so far. The young batter is coming off a solid 44-run cameo against the Rajasthan Royals and will be hoping to carry on the same momentum. 

Probable Best Bowler of the Match—Varun Chakaravarthy

Varun Chakaravarthy.
Varun Chakaravarthy.

KKR’s star spinner Varun Chakaravarthy has always put his hand up whenever the team is in a tough spot. With 15 wickets in his last 11 matches, the mystery bowler has been KKR’s highest wicket-taker this season so far. Chakaravarthy, who is well-versed with the pitch conditions, will be looking to use them to his advantage and bamboozle the CSK batters.

Match Overview

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will look to keep their playoff chances alive when they host Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the iconic Eden Gardens on Sunday, May 3, in match No. 53 of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025).

KKR are positioned at No. 7 on the points table, having won four games and lost five. One of their matches ended without a result. In their most recent fixture, the defending champions beat Delhi Capitals by 14 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Meanwhile, the Rajasthan Royals were knocked out of the race to the playoffs after their 100-run defeat to the Mumbai Indians earlier this week. The inaugural champions have only managed three wins in 11 matches in what has been a forgettable season for them.

KKR and RR met earlier in the season in Guwahati. The Knights won the match by eight wickets, chasing down a 152-run target in 17.3 overs. Ajinkya Rahane’s men are the favourites once again, but expect RR to come out all guns blazing as they do not have the pressure of qualifying for the next phase of the tournament.

Head-to-Head Record

KKR and RR have played 31 matches against each other so far, with the former winning 15 and the latter 14.

Team Preview

Delhi currently sit in fourth place in the standings with six wins and three losses. They will hope to register a win against KKR and move up in the IPL 2025 standings. The side is coming off a disappointing loss against RCB at their home ground. However, with the season moving at its fag end, it will be important that DC pull up their socks as two other teams are just behind them with almost a similar situation.

On the other hand, KKR have not picked up their form. With three wins, five losses, and a no-result fixture in nine games, the Kolkata-based side currently sits in seventh place in the standings, and they will hope to register their fourth win of the season. The Ajinkya Rahane-led side is in a must-win situation, and another defeat could be their potential exit.

The chances of the Kolkata Knight Riders in this tournament are getting diminished day by day.Kolkata Knight Riders’ last match against Punjab Kings ended with no result due to bad weather.Before that, Kolkata Knight Riders lost their match against Gujarat Titans by 39 runs.

It has been a good season for Delhi Capitals so far, as they have won six matches out of nine. However, Axar Patel’s men lost their most recent match against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 6 wickets. In today’s match, Delhi Capitals would like to forget their previous defeat and give the gift of victory to their fans at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.

Probable Best Bowler of the match: Axar Patel

Axar

In 11 matches, the left-arm ace spinner Axar Patel has only managed to take three wickets. The DC skipper might not have picked as many wickets, but has been economical. Bringing himself into the powerplay against RCB, Axar bagged two wickets under the powerplay. With an effective arm-ball and the ability to vary his pace, the 31-year-old will be important for his side’s quest to record their seventh win of the season.

The Toss Will Play a Crucial Role

In their previous match at this venue against RCB, RCB won the toss and opted to bowl first, restricting the home team to a mere 162 runs. RCB then comfortably chased down the target. The first innings saw the ball gripping the surface, causing difficulties for the Delhi batsmen. In contrast, RCB benefited from the dew in the second innings, making the run chase easier. With significant dew expected, the toss will be a critical factor.

Who will win today’s IPL match between DC vs KKR?

  • Delhi Capitals won six matches and are currently at 4th place in the point table.
  • Delhi Capitals have the advantage of playing at their home ground.
  • Kolkata Knight Riders, with only 3 wins, is currently at 7th place in the point table.
  • In head-to-head encounters, Delhi Capitals have won 15 matches out of 34, and Kolkata Knight Riders have won 18, while 1 ended with np result.

Batting first, Gujarat posted an impressive 198 for 3, thanks to standout knocks from Shubman Gill (90 off 55) and Sai Sudharsan (52 off 36). Gill was later named Player of the Match for his commanding innings.

In response, KKR couldn’t keep up with the required rate and fell short of the target. Ajinkya Rahane top-scored with a steady 50 off 36 balls, while Angkrish Raghuvanshi chipped in with a quick unbeaten 27 off 13. Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana picked up a wicket each, but it wasn’t enough. Prasidh Krishna and Rashid Khan both took two wickets as Gujarat sealed a comfortable 39-run win.

Eden Gardens in Kolkata offers a balanced pitch, providing pace and bounce early on for fast bowlers. As the game progresses, the pitch slows down, favoring spinners with some turn. The outfield is quick, making it ideal for high scores, but batting can become tricky as the match wears on. Dew may also assist chasing teams in the second innings.

The weather at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on April 26th at 7:30 PM is expected to be warm and humid, with a temperature around 27°C (81°F). There’s no significant chance of rain, so the match should go ahead without interruptions.

IYER

Venkatesh Iyer: The All-Rounder Who Rose from Accounts to Stardom

Unconventional Beginnings
A “bright student” with a Chartered Accountancy degree and an MBA in finance, Venkatesh Iyer worked at Deloitte in 2018 before choosing cricket over spreadsheets 27. His towering 6’3″ frame and pace-bowling prowess masked a late-blooming talent.

Domestic Dominance

  • Breakthrough (2020-21) : Smashed 198 off 146 balls vs. Punjab (Vijay Hazare Trophy) and averaged 75.66 in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, earning his KKR IPL debut for ₹20 lakh 87.
  • 2023-24 Resurgence : Scored 550+ Ranji runs and bowled consistently post-injury, proving his all-round value 79.

IPL Meteoric Rise

International Journey

  • Debuted in T20Is (2021) and ODIs (2022) as India’s finisher, but struggled to cement his spot 67.
  • Ankle injury in 2022-23 halted momentum, forcing a reboot as a specialist batter 7.

The Comeback King
Venkatesh’s resilience shone in 2024:

  • Ranji Trophy : 550 runs + wickets, showcasing all-round grit.
  • IPL 2024 : 4 fifties @ 158 SR, proving he’s more than a finisher 49.

Why He’s Unique
A rare blend of power-hitting (198 in Vijay Hazare), medium-pace nuance , and a fighter’s mindset —Venkatesh embodies the modern all-rounder India craves. 🏏💥
