Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will lock horns with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Wednesday, May 07, in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) season. CSK is already out of contention in the playoffs race, while KKR is still in the hunt for the playoffs, but only mathematically, as they need to win all their games with a positive net run rate.
KKR has looked extremely patchy with the bat in hand, as apart from Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi, none of the batters have looked convincing. Also, the failure of Venkatesh Iyer and Rinku Singh has compounded more problems. Talismanic all-rounder Andre Russell returned to form against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) by scoring a blazing 50-run knock. It remains to be seen if he continues with the same aggressive intent in the rest of KKR's matches.
