KKR vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Today Match 15 Playing XI: IPL 2025 Fantasy Cricket Tips, Team, and Pitch Report

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be up against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in match no. 15 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Both teams have two defeats in three games, and will be desperate to bounce back.

The reigning champions suffered an eight-wicket thrashing against Mumbai Indians in their previous game. The batting unit had a disastrous outing in Mumbai, getting bundled out for just 116, with none of the batters touching the 30-run mark. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad lost their previous game to Delhi Capitals by seven wickets. Batting first, they too had a top order collapse before Aniket Verma smashed 74 off 41 to give them some hope. However, 163 was way below par as DC chased down the total with four overs to spare. 

Probable KKR vs SRH Playing XI and Impact Players:

Kolkata Knight Riders: Sunil Narine, Quinton de Kock (wk), Ajinkya Rahane (c), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Spencer Johnson, Varun Chakravarthy
