KKR vs CSK Playing 11: Impact Players, Likely Batting Order for Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings Today IPL 2025 Match

If KKR win this game, their chances of reaching the playoffs will stay alive.

Match No. 57 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Kolkata Knight Riders beat Rajasthan Royals by just one run in their last match. So far, they have played 11 matches, winning five, losing five, and one match had no result. If they win this game, their chances of reaching the playoffs will stay alive.

Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, lost their previous match to Royal Challengers Bengaluru by two runs. They have managed to win only two out of 11 matches and have lost nine, which means they are already out of the playoff race.
