KKR Playing 11 vs CSK- IPL 2025, Match 57:
Rahmanullah Gurbaz will open the batting along with Sunil Narine for Kolkata Knight Riders. The Afghan opening batter has failed to make the most of the opportunity he has had so far in the tournament.
Sunil Narine, who will partner with Gurbaz at the top of the order, will look to do the same as the left-hander has been in search of runs in the ongoing season of the league.
Middle-order: Ajinkya Rahane (c), Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Moeen Ali
Ajinkya Rahane, the Kolkata Knight Riders captain, has been in decent form and would like to lead from the front in the upcoming game against CSK by making a decisive contribution in a must-win clash.
Ajinkya Rahane will need good support from middle-order batters like Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Andre Russell, both of whom showed a positive display of batting in the last game against RR.
Russell, in particular, made the most of some inconsistent bowling from the RR bowlers as the hard-hitting batter scored an attacking half-century and guided the team to an above-par total.
Kolkata Knight Riders would be elated by the contribution of Rinku Singh in two of the three departments of the game as the left-hander hit a few boundaries in the last over of the team's batting innings.
Rinku also saved crucial runs in the field, including a diving stop near the boundary rope, which proved to be a decisive effort in the context of the game.
Bowlers: Harshit Rana, Vaibhav Arora, Varun Chakravarthy
Although KKR's batting hasn't been consistent, one of the positives for the team in the tournament so far has been their bowling, led by the pair of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy.
Varun and Narine have done a decent job in the middle overs by picking wickets, thereby stemming the flow of runs. The duo has been well supported by Moeen Ali.
KKR's spinners would look to put on another strong performance against CSK in what are expected to be helpful conditions for the slow bowlers, and help the team clinch two crucial points.
The duo of Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Arora has been effective with the new ball and has picked up wickets in the first six overs and in the final five overs, as well.
Having said that, KKR have been struggling with the choice of the third fast bowling option and have tried the likes of Spencer Johnson, Anerich Nortje, and Chetan Sakariya.
The lack of an in-form third fast bowler has come to haunt KKR in conditions that are conducive to fast bowling.
