Kolkata Knight Riders are the defending champions of IPL 2025, and their season has been a complete roller coaster with a high win-loss percentage. They are currently in 7th position with 3 wins and 5 losses in 8 matches, so they are looking for a strong comeback.
On the other hand, under Shreyas Iyer’s leadership, the Punjab-based franchise will look to turn the tables. Iyer, who led KKR to win the IPL 2024 trophy, will look to replicate his performance for the men in maroon.
