KKR vs CSK Match 57 Match Live: The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on the already-eliminated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 57 of the Indian Premier League 2025 at Eden Gardens on Wednesday. KKR, currently sixth on the table with 11 points from 11 matches, still have a slim chance of making the playoffs, but they must win all their remaining games and hope other results go their way. For CSK, who sit at the bottom of the table with just four points, it’s about finishing strong and testing bench strength as they prepare for a future beyond this season. Expect them to experiment with new combinations as they look ahead.
The pitch at Eden Gardens is likely to assist spinners again, though run-making has remained brisk at this venue. Over 400 runs were scored in the previous match here, and another high-scoring thriller could be on the cards if bowlers fail to hit the right areas.
KKR vs CSK: Full Squads
Kolkata Knight Riders Squad: Rahmanullah Gurbaz(w), Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane(c), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Andre Russell, Rinku Singh, Moeen Ali, Venkatesh Iyer, Ramandeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Vaibhav Arora, Harshit Rana, Anukul Roy, Manish Pandey, Rovman Powell, Luvnith Sisodia, Anrich Nortje, Mayank Markande, Spencer Johnson, Chetan Sakariya, Quinton de Kock
Chennai Super Kings Squad: Ayush Mhatre, Shaik Rasheed, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, Dewald Brevis, MS Dhoni(w/c), Shivam Dube, Deepak Hooda, Anshul Kamboj, Noor Ahmad, Khaleel Ahmed, Matheesha Pathirana, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jamie Overton, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Ramakrishna Ghosh, Vijay Shankar, Rahul Tripathi, Shreyas Gopal, Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Mukesh Choudhary, Urvil Patel, Nathan Ellis, Andre Siddarth
Ajinkya Rahane gets up and running against pace with an average of 104.5 and strikes at 174.17, but against the turning ball, it drops to 16.86 and 114.56 respectively.
Ajinkya Rahane, KKR’s captain, has been the leading run-scorer for his team so far in the IPL. But his numbers against pace and spin are very contrasting.
KKR’s spin-duo of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy have a terrific record against CSK’s middle-order, with only Shivam Dube and Sam Curran striking above 100 against Chakaravarthy and Narine respectively.
On form, KKR are the better side, although they haven’t been at their dominant best. Apart from keeping their playoff hopes alive, this game will also be an opportunity for them to register their first-ever season double over CSK.
Pitches have been good for batting this season, as they have been in recent years. However, there has also been a bit of grip on offer for the spinners in some of the matches. Just enough for the likes of Narine and Chakaravarthy to hold fort.
The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on the already-eliminated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 57 of the Indian Premier League 2025 at Eden Gardens on Wednesday.
