Eden Gardens is all set to host the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) vs Chennai Super Kings (CSK) match on Wednesday, May 7. The match starts at 7:30 PM IST and is the reverse fixture between the two sides.
KKR is in a must-win territory heading into this game. They need to win this game as well as the last two to keep themselves alive in the playoff race. They can get to a maximum of 17 points, which might not be enough to take the side to the last four, as multiple teams above them might get 18 points or more.
Meanwhile, CSK is already out of the tournament. They have endured one of their toughest seasons in IPL 2025, with nothing going according to plan for the side. Despite playing impressive cricket, they ended up losing a close encounter against RCB. Meanwhile, with Andre Russell finding some form in the previous game for KKR, CSK would be wary of his threat as well.

KKR vs CSK Eden Gardens, Kolkata - Pitch Report
The pitch at Eden Gardens has been a high-scoring one throughout the season. KKR managed to win by just 1 run in their previous match against the Rajasthan Royals. CSK is heading into this game after losing a high-scoring match themselves. We can expect another high-scoring contest with the spinners getting more off the pitch than the batters. With quality spinners on both sides, this should be an interesting contest.
