KKR vs CSK Dream11 Prediction & Fantasy Cricket Tips: IPL 2025 Match 57

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 57th match of the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. 

This encounter is pivotal for KKR as they continue to battle to secure a playoff spot. A defeat here could dent their chances, while CSK, already out of the playoff race, aims to finish their season on a positive note and spoil KKR’s party.

Led by Ajinkya Rahane, KKR is currently sixth on the IPL 2025 points table, with five wins, five losses, and one no-result from their 11 matches. Fresh off a nail-biting one-run win against the Rajasthan Royals, thanks to Andre Russell's 25-ball 57, KKR is riding a wave of confidence, having won their last two games.

However, their heavy dependence on spinners Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy could come to haunt them. To clinch a playoff spot on their own, KKR must win all of their remaining games.

Chennai Super Kings, under the leadership of MS Dhoni, have had a tough season, sitting at the bottom of the standings with nine losses in 11 games. The Chennai-based franchise is on a four-match losing streak. 

Eliminated from the playoff race, CSK is now focused on nurturing its next generation of talent. Young batter Ayush Mhatre impressed with a 94-run knock against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, though it was not enough to chase down 214 runs. With Vansh Bedi sidelined, replacement player Urvil Patel is likely to make his IPL debut against KKR as CSK looks to build for the future while aiming to upset KKR’s playoff hopes.
