KKR vs CSK Match and Toss Prediction: Who will win today’s IPL match?

Defending IPL champions KKR will host CSK at home on Wednesday. The 57th game of IPL 2025 is very important for KKR if they are to keep their hopes of making it to the playoffs alive. Both sides are coming into the game on the back of close games with varying results. 

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have won two games in a row as well as a washout against Punjab Kings, which keeps them in the hunt for a playoff spot. Ajinkya Rahane and his side won their last match against Rajasthan Royals by one run in what was an enthralling, high-scoring contest. 

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) come into the game on the back of their close loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru away from home. Despite the efforts of young Ayush Mhatre and veteran Ravindra Jadeja, the five-time IPL winners lost the game by two runs. Chennai faced KKR earlier in the season in what was MS Dhoni’s return as the skipper and lost by eight wickets. 

KKR vs CSK Toss Prediction

In the current season of the IPL, the teams batting second have gone on to win most of the games. KKR hold a slight edge as far as the toss is concerned, as it was seen in the last game where Rahane won the toss and chose to bat first. With the pitches starting to slow down, the spinners come into the equation. This means if KKR win the toss, they have a good chance of beating CSK for a second time this campaign.

IPL 2025, Match 57 : KKR vs CSK Today’s match prediction

On current form, KKR will start as favourites to win the game against Chennai on Wednesday night. One can expect the odds to be slightly in favour of the home side if they bat first after winning the toss and make use of the better batting conditions. This year, CSK have managed to lose few games while chasing and the KKR spinners will want to exploit this weakness. 

Player of the match (POTM) prediction 

Varun Chakravarthy has picked 11 wickets against CSK from the 10 matches he has played so far. The 33-year-old spinner has a good record against MS Dhoni in the past. Eden Gardens pitch can start to play tricks as the season moves into the final stages. Chakravarthy will be a prime candidate for the player of the match award against Chennai Super Kings.
