KKR vs SRH Live Updates, IPL 2025: Kolkata Knight Riders host the Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
ℹ️MATCH INFO
The chase is on! The men in white, the umpires, stride purposefully to the middle, followed closely by the Rajasthan Royals, a blue wave crashing onto the field after a final, rallying huddle. Kolkata Knight Riders answer the call with Quinton de Kock partnering a surprise package at the top - Moeen Ali, stepping up in Sunil Narine's absence. Let's see how this unexpected pairing fares!
ℹ️MATCH INFO
The Saga Begins: THE RUN CHASE ...
ℹ️MATCH INFO
Chasing a gettable 152, the Kolkata Knight Riders will stroll out with swagger, riding the wave of momentum. If the evening dew makes its presence felt, batting will become a dream, a veritable cakewalk! However, if the conditions remain dry and the ball grips, the Rajasthan Royals bowlers must strike with venom, exploiting any early assistance the pitch offers to stay afloat in this contest. A tantalizing chase awaits under the Guwahati lights! Don't go anywhere!
ℹ️MATCH INFO
Just as the Rajasthan Royals were looking to launch, the game took a dramatic twist! The introduction of spin triggered a collapse of epic proportions, as RR went from a comfortable 67/1 to a precarious 82/5 in the blink of an eye! The KKR bowlers cranked up the pressure, tightening their lines and lengths, and suffocating the RR batsmen, turning the middle overs into a run-scoring desert. Dhruv Jurel, the young warrior, stood tall, battling the storm and forging crucial partnerships with Shubham Dubey and Shimron Hetmyer, but his dismissal signalled the beginning of the end for RR. A true team effort from KKR, with every bowler raising their hand! Apart from Spencer Johnson, who snared a vital wicket, all the other KKR bowlers helped themselves to two wickets apiece.
ℹ️MATCH INFO
Now, over to Varun Chakaravarthy for a quick chat. He mentions that the wicket was a touch sticky, offering a bit of hold, and he cleverly exploited the lengths to reap the rewards. He also expressed his joy in bowling alongside Moeen Ali, praising the all-rounder's impactful performance. Interestingly, Moeen was drafted in at the last minute, just before the match commenced! Varun is content with the score on the board, believing that a smart, calculated batting approach will see them home, especially considering that this pitch differs significantly from the Eden Gardens track. He noted that Riyan Parag looked in sublime touch, prompting him to bowl a slightly fuller length, trusting the pitch to provide the necessary assistance.
ℹ️MATCH INFO
Asked to bat first, Yashasvi Jaiswal appeared slightly out of sorts initially, but managed to find some rhythm alongside Sanju Samson in a cautious start, as they both sought to gauge the conditions. However, Vaibhav Arora struck a crucial blow, dismantling Samson's stumps and handing KKR an early breakthrough. This brought skipper Riyan Parag to the crease, and together with Jaiswal, the duo consolidated the innings with a steady partnership, ensuring RR ended the Powerplay on a respectable 54/1.
ℹ️MATCH INFO
A masterful bowling display from the Kolkata Knight Riders has put them firmly in the driver's seat, restricting the Rajasthan Royals to a below-par 151/9! In a tournament characterized by high-octane, high-scoring thrillers, the Guwahati pitch has sprung a surprise, playing with a touch of unevenness and offering assistance to the bowlers, setting the stage for a captivating second act.

The batters take off for the second, and the fielder reacts quickly and throws it to the bowler's end. However, Johnsone fumbles the collection, allowing the second run. Rajasthan Royals limp to the finish line with 151/9!

ℹ️MATCH INFO
It's Presentation Time folks!
ℹ️MATCH INFO
Earlier in the day, Rajasthan Royals managed a somewhat respectable total, with several batsmen chipping in with cameos, but failing to convert them into substantial scores proved to be their undoing. The Kolkata Knight Riders bowlers were spot-on from the get-go, and with the exception of Spencer Johnson, who grabbed a single wicket, each bowler contributed with a couple of scalps to keep the hosts in check.
ℹ️MATCH INFO
Rajasthan Royals will be deeply disappointed with their bowling display, despite not having a huge total to defend. Their spinners couldn't replicate the effectiveness of KKR's, and while they managed to pick up a couple of wickets, it wasn't enough to put the chasing side under any significant pressure. Ultimately, the visitors chased down the target with relative ease in just 17.3 overs.
ℹ️MATCH INFO
Kolkata Knight Riders got off to a solid start, crucially avoiding any early wickets in the Powerplay. Quinton de Kock played the anchor role to absolute perfection, even as wickets fell at the other end. He brought up his maiden IPL fifty for KKR in style, looking in magnificent touch throughout his innings. His partnership with Angkrish Raghuvanshi, worth over 50 runs, kept Rajasthan Royals at bay, and it was fitting that De Kock was there to finish the job in style.
ℹ️MATCH INFO
The defending champions are up and running! A dominant performance from Kolkata Knight Riders as they comprehensively outplayed Rajasthan Royals in all facets of the game, condemning them to their second consecutive defeat of the season.

Too short again, and just outside off, Raghuvanshi is waiting for it. He gets on the back foot and punches it nicely to long off for a single. Sensible batting.

That's a nagging length, right around middle. QDK skips down the track and absolutely smashes it, but it's straight to sweeper cover for just a single. He timed that beautifully, just couldn't find the gap!
