KKR vs LSG: After a morale-boosting win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) return to Eden Gardens for their first afternoon clash of IPL 2025, facing the upbeat Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). The match, initially scheduled for Sunday, was moved to Tuesday due to Ram Navami celebrations.
Led by Ajinkya Rahane, KKR will look for a strong start from openers Quinton de Kock and Sunil Narine, who are yet to fire this season. While pacer Harshit Rana has taken wickets, his economy of 9.25 remains a concern.
LSG, fresh off a 12-run win over Mumbai Indians, boasts a balanced attack with spinners Digvesh Rathi, Ravi Bishnoi, and M. Siddharth, alongside pacers Shardul Thakur, Avesh Khan, and Akash Deep. Batting-wise, Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh have shouldered much of the load, but skipper Rishabh Pant, Aiden Markram, David Miller, and others add depth and firepower.
With both teams in form and a hot afternoon ahead, fans can expect a high-scoring contest, though KKR’s home advantage could tilt the scales in their favour.

Moeen didn’t bowl in KKR’s last match, but he remains a tempting spin option, especially if the Eden pitch stays low and slow.
Left-hand batters average just 9.60 against Arora this IPL, making him vital upfront—but his high economy against right-handers could be a concern.
With consistent performances and strong control, Rathi is a serious contender for Emerging Player of the Season and is outshining Ravi Bishnoi.
While Marsh has scored three fifties this season, his strike rate dips from 194 to 139 against spin—an exploitable weakness for KKR.
Markram has fallen to spinners in 5 of his last 12 innings, which makes him a prime target for Varun Chakravarthy’s variations on a tacky Eden wicket.
Pooran boasts a 209 strike rate vs spin since IPL 2024 but has managed just 25 runs off 33 balls against Sunil Narine, highlighting a potential key contest.
KKR’s spin trio—Narine, Varun, and Moeen—will be central on a dry Eden pitch, ideal for exploiting LSG’s known struggles against quality spin.
