KKR vs CSK Dream11 Prediction, IPL Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report & More Updates for Match 57

KKR vs CSK Match Preview:

The 57th match of IPL 2025 is scheduled to take place between the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday. KKR’s performance this season has been sub-par and the team has been lacking form. We are halfway through the tournament, and the KKR team is holding the 6th position in the points table with just 5 wins in 11 matches they have played. On the other hand, this season has proved to be unlucky for CSK. They are at the extreme bottom end of the points table, where they have only won 2 out of 11 matches they have played. 

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings Team Analysis: 

Kolkata Knight Riders:

The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team will likely try to give it their all with the hope of making it to the play-offs. They might retain their game strategy and the performance that they have had against the Rajasthan Royals in the last game. 

Chennai Super Kings:

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) performance has been quite disappointing for the fans to watch this season. In the previous game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, CSK lost by just 2 runs. On one hand, where players like Ayush Mhatre have proved to be a knight in shining armour, giving the team a solid start, there are bowlers like Noor Ahmad who seem to be struggling in the second half of the tournament. 

It can be expected that this game is going to be a close encounter between the two teams, Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings.
