Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are set to host the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Eden Gardens in today’s IPL 2025 clash. For KKR, a win is crucial to stay alive in the playoff race. On the other hand, CSK are already out of contention for a top-four finish but will look to play spoilers and dent the defending champions’ hopes. In the reverse fixture earlier this season, KKR had defeated CSK in Chennai.
Pitch Report
The pitch at Eden Gardens has been dry and generally favours spinners. However, with short boundaries, batters can make the most of their scoring opportunities.
Head-to-Head Record
Out of the 30 matches played between these two sides, CSK have won 19 times, while KKR have secured victory in 11 games.
Top 3 Fantasy Picks
Andre Russell (KKR)
The explosive all-rounder was the Player of the Match in KKR’s last game against the Rajasthan Royals (RR). He smashed an unbeaten 57 off just 25 deliveries, showcasing his big-hitting ability and match-winning credentials.
Ayush Mathre (CSK)
The young CSK batter nearly got to a century in the previous match, scoring a brilliant 94 off 48 balls. His fearless stroke play and composure under pressure are earning him attention.
Sunil Narine (KKR)
Narine has been a consistent performer for KKR this season. His bowling has been effective, and his ability to chip in with handy runs at the top or lower down makes him a crucial player.
Fantasy XI
Ajinkya Rahane (C), MS Dhoni (WK), Rinku Singh, Ayush Mathre, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Noor Ahmad, Vaibhav Arora, Shivam Dube, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Ravindra Jadeja (VC).
