KKR seek win to boost playoff hopes; Haddin lauds youngsters before key clash
Gulf Today
|May 04, 2025
Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are aiming to secure a playoffs spot in IPL 2025. For that to happen mathematically, they need to win their remaining four matches, starting with a home game against the already-eliminated Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Eden Gardens on Sunday afternoon.

The task for seventh-placed KKR is easier said than done, considering their home leg form has been poor-only one win coming from five matches.
Their batters have been inconsistent - Rinku Singh and Venkatesh Iyer haven't been at their run-scoring best while their opening combination never got a settled look.
Captain Ajinkya Rahane is also nursing a hand injury which he picked during their 14-run win over Delhi Capitals (DC) earlier this week - though it is expected that he will be fit in time for Sunday's game.
It's the bowling where there's been some solace - spin duo of Sunil Narine, who had a brilliant all-round show in Delhi and Varun Chakaravarthy have been at their best.
