Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will lock horns with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 57th match of the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on May 7.
With KKR fighting to secure a playoff berth, this clash is critical for their campaign. A loss could severely dent their chances of qualifying, while CSK, already eliminated from playoff contention, aims to play the role of party poopers and end their season on a high note.
KKR vs CSK Match Preview
Kolkata Knight Riders, led by Ajinkya Rahane, are clinging to playoff hopes, sitting sixth on the IPL 2025 points table with five wins, five losses, and one no-result from 11 matches. Coming off a thrilling one-run victory against the Rajasthan Royals (RR), KKR is buoyed by Andre Russell’s return to form, who smashed 57 runs off 25 balls.

However, over-reliance on spinners Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy remains a concern. KKR need to win all their remaining games and boost their net run rate to secure a top-four finish.
Chennai Super Kings, under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, have endured a disappointing season, languishing at the bottom of the points table with nine losses in 11 games. Despite their elimination from the playoff race, CSK is building a squad for the future. Their replacement player, Ayush Mhatre, hammered 94 runs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) but could not take his side home as CSK fell two runs in a chase of 214 runs.
Urvil Patel, who has been picked as an injury replacement for Vansh Bedi, is likely to make his IPL debut versus KKR as CSK looks to groom future talents.
KKR vs CSK Head-to-Head
In 31 IPL encounters, CSK holds a massive edge, winning 19 matches compared to KKR’s 11, with one match ending in a no result. However, earlier in the season, KKR thrashed CSK by eight wickets.
