Kolkata Knight Riders host Chennai Super Kings at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday hoping to complete a season double against MS Dhoni’s men, having thrashed them by eight wickets at Chepauk earlier this season.

Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings will square off in the 57th match of IPL 2025. It's a must-win game for KKR and a defeat here will end their campaign. Kolkata have 5 wins and as many defeats from 11 matches.

Although Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have nothing to lose, Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) playoff hopes are at stake as they host the five-time champions at the Eden Gardens on May 7, 2025, Wednesday. The Knight Riders are narrowly alive in the playoff race but need to win every match and also with a good margin to boost their net run-rate.
