IPL 2025 Fantasy Picks for KKR vs. PBKS: Having trouble At the legendary Eden Gardens in Kolkata, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will play the high-flying Punjab Kings in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 encounter on Saturday.
When KKR hosts the Shreyas Iyer-led Punjab Kings in a crucial IPL match, the player who guided them to success only a season ago might potentially jeopardize the team’s prospects of qualifying for the playoffs.
Iyer had guided KKR to their first IPL championship in ten years twelve months before. He will make his comeback on Saturday in the opposing colors, leading a revitalized Punjab team that is vying for a postseason berth.
On the other hand, KKR is in dire need of speed. Their already precarious playoff route might become much more precarious with five losses in eight games.
Ajinkya Rahane, the captain, will also be scrutinized since he failed to change tactics and finish games while sometimes anchoring the innings effectively.
On what they formerly referred to as their stronghold, their top order is still unsteady, their middle order is unpredictable, and their spin assault is ineffectual.
Toss: At 7:00 PM IST, the Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings will toss their IPL 2025 encounter.
Time: 7:30 PM IST on Saturday, April 26
