Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are gearing up to face Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 21st match of the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025), set to unfold at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on April 8.
KKR has secured two victories in their four outings. Their latest triumph came against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), where they flexed their muscle with a commanding 80-run win after piling on 200 runs. Sitting in fifth position, they are brimming with confidence and would aim to climb up the points tally, especially with the home crowd behind them.

LSG, too, has had an even run, winning two of their four games. Their most recent outing saw them edge out Mumbai Indians (MI) by a nervy 12 runs, proving they have got grit when it counts. Like KKR, they are stuck in the middle of the IPL 2025 points table, eager to pull ahead.
LSG’s batting has leaned on the top-order’s firepower and the steady hands of their middle-order. Meanwhile, their all-Indian bowling unit has shown promise. They would want their captain, Rishabh Pant, who has only scored 19 runs in the four matches this season, to come to the party.
