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.

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.

KL Rahul has been in superb form, scoring 364 runs in IPL 2025 already. He will belooking to punish the struggling KKR team further. Varun Chakaravarthy, the ace spinnerfrom the camp of defending champions will be their only hope against KL Rahul. Hismystery spinners in the middle overs will be a trick for KL Rahul too. Mitchell Starc wasthe crucial bowler for KRR in the IPL 2024 play-offs. Not retained, he was picked by DC inthe auctions. This could be his chance to prove to KKR what they missed. Starc with hispace will be a threat to KKR’s pinch-hitting opener Sunil Narine, who has lacked runs thisseason too. Abishek Porel, the man from Bengal has 253 runs in the IPL this season. Hewill also be looking to hit some more. Harshit Rana with the new ball should target himearly.

DC vs KKR Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter of the match: Ajinkya Rahane

rahane

KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane scored his last 50-plus score against the Gujarat Titans two games prior and has been in solid touch since the beginning of the season. In eight innings, the veteran batter has scored 271 runs at an average of 38.71 and a strike rate of 146.48, including three fifties. The defending champions, who are in a make-or-break game situation, Rahane will have to once again come forward and give his team another blistering start.

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.

  • Overall, the Delhi Capitals seem to be the more balanced side compared to the Kolkata Knight Riders.

We are backing Delhi Capitals to win!

MANISH

Manish Pandey: A Cricketing Journey

Background

Manish Pandey is a name that resonates with Indian cricket history, especially in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Born on September 10, 1989, Pandey shot to fame at the young age of 19 when he became the first Indian player to score a century in the IPL. His unbeaten 114 off 73 deliveries for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) against Deccan Chargers in the 2009 edition propelled RCB into the knockouts and cemented his place in cricketing folklore .

Inspired by Rahul Dravid, Pandey has often credited the legendary cricketer as his role model. While his batting style reflects flamboyance and stroke-making ability, his swat-flick remains his trademark shot . Despite being part of the victorious India Under-19 World Cup squad in 2008 under Virat Kohli’s captaincy, Pandey wasn’t particularly impressive during the tournament. However, his domestic exploits soon brought him back into the limelight.


Domestic Career

Pandey’s domestic career has been nothing short of stellar. After making waves in the IPL, he returned to focus on domestic cricket, where he quickly established himself as a key player for Karnataka.

  • Breakthrough Season (2009-10):
    Pandey had a phenomenal Ranji Trophy season in 2009-10, scoring 882 runs at an average of 63, including four centuries and five fifties. His consistency earned him recognition as the highest run-getter of the season .
  • Memorable Final Performance:
    In the final against Mumbai, Pandey played a gritty knock of 144 in the fourth innings but narrowly missed out on taking Karnataka to victory, falling short by six runs. This performance showcased his temperament for big-match scenarios .
  • Fielding Prowess:
    Apart from his batting, Pandey’s fielding prowess has always been noteworthy. One such moment came when he took a breathtaking catch to dismiss Abhishek Nayar during a crucial match, which went viral on social media and caught the selectors’ attention .

Pandey continued to be a mainstay for Karnataka across formats, even captaining the side occasionally. His contributions have been instrumental in Karnataka’s success, including multiple Ranji Trophy victories.


International Career

Despite his domestic heroics, Pandey’s international career faced several ups and downs due to stiff competition for middle-order spots in the Indian team.

  • Debut and Early Promise:
    Manish made his ODI debut during India’s tour of Zimbabwe in mid-2015, scoring a fluent 71 in his maiden innings. His breakthrough came in January 2016 when he scored a match-winning 104* against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), becoming the first Indian to hit a century in an ODI at the venue .
  • Challenges and Comebacks:
    Pandey struggled to maintain consistency, especially during tours like New Zealand in 2016. However, selectors persisted with him, naming him in the Champions Trophy squad in 2017. Unfortunately, an injury during the IPL ruled him out of the tournament .
  • Missed Opportunities:
    Disappointment awaited Pandey again when he was left out of India’s 2019 World Cup squad. Though recalled briefly for a series against Sri Lanka in 2021, he was part of a fringe squad with regular players rested .

Despite limited opportunities, Pandey has proven his mettle whenever given a chance, showcasing his temperament for high-pressure situations.


IPL Career

Pandey’s IPL journey has seen its fair share of highs and lows, reflecting his adaptability and resilience.

  • Early Days (Mumbai Indians & RCB):
    Pandey began his IPL career with Mumbai Indians in 2008 but had a quiet season. He was later signed by RCB in 2009, where he etched his name in history by scoring the first IPL century by an Indian player—an unbeaten 114 against Deccan Chargers .
  • Kolkata Knight Riders Glory:
    After three quiet seasons with Pune Warriors India, Pandey joined Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2014. He delivered a match-winning 94 in the final against Punjab, helping KKR clinch their maiden title .
  • Later Years (SRH & DC):
    Pandey moved to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in 2018, where he initially showed promise but gradually lost form. In 2022, he managed just 88 runs in six games, leading to his release. The Delhi Capitals picked him up for INR 2.4 crore in the 2023 auction, giving him another opportunity to prove his worth
  • Now again in 2025 he joined KKR TEAM.

Manish Pandey has established a remarkable legacy in cricket, particularly within the Indian Premier League (IPL). Here are some key highlights of his record and contributions:

  • IPL Milestone : Manish Pandey became only the fourth player—alongside legends like MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma—to participate in every edition of the IPL, marking an impressive 18-season career in the league 3.
  • First Indian Century in IPL : He is celebrated as the first Indian player to score a century in the IPL, achieving this feat with an unbeaten knock that showcased his immense talent early in his career 5.
  • Steady Performer : Throughout his career, Pandey has been known for delivering match-winning performances and thriving in pressure situations. His steady contributions have played significant roles in many memorable victories for India and his respective teams 2.
  • Versatility and Dedication : His ability to adapt across formats and deliver crucial innings reflects both his versatility and dedication to the sport. This commitment has earned him respect among fans and peers alike

Sunil Narine

West Indies, Bowling Allrounder

Mystery spinner Sunil Narine is perhaps the first high-profile cricketer to make a career as a T20 specialist slow bowler, armed with a bag of variations – skidders, knuckleballs, carrom balls and more – for every occasion, and a party trick of thrashing quick runs up or down the order with the bat.

Turning Point:LSG vs DC

In a game filled with fireworks, it was a single delivery from Mitchell Starc that rewrote the script. At 99-1, Nicholas Pooran seemed ready to launch a brutal assault. But Starc, returning in the 12th over, outfoxed him with a slower ball that shattered his stumps and Lucknow’s momentum.

Pooran’s dismissal triggered a collapse that Delhi Capitals capitalised on with ruthless efficiency. The psychological edge Starc holds over Pooran deepened, making it a defining battle. From that delivery onward, the tide turned, proving once again how one ball in T20 cricket can shape the destiny of an entire match.

Unsung Hero: LSG vs DC

While Mukesh Kumar stole the headlines, it was Abhishek Porel who quietly set the stage for Delhi Capitals’ smooth chase. Opening the innings, the young left-hander scored a classy 51 off 36 balls, giving DC a flying start in a tricky 160-run chase. His knock blended elegance with maturity, keeping the pressure off the middle order.

Porel’s timing, control and smart shot selection ensured Delhi never fell behind the rate. Though he departed in the 12th over, his composed effort was the blueprint for Delhi’s dominance—an understated yet critical contribution that made him the unsung hero of the match.
