KKR vs SRH Playing 11: Expected Combinations, Impact Players, and Likely Batting Order for Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL 2025 Match

Since both teams are coming off defeats, expect some changes in their playing 11s.

Match No.15 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will feature Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) taking on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Both teams have lost two out of three games.

KKR did not perform well in their previous match against Mumbai Indians, being bowled out for only 116 runs and losing by eight wickets.

SRH also struggled in their previous game against Delhi Capitals. Their top order collapsed early, but Aniket Verma’s 74 off 41 balls gave them some hope. However, their total of 163 wasn’t enough as DC chased it down with four overs left.

Let’s take a look at the KKR vs SRH playing 11 combinations along with Impact Player choices.
