Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants (KKR vs LSG) has been scheduled for the 21st match of the IPL 2025, which Eden Gardens (Kolkata) will host on Tuesday afternoon (April 8). Both teams will play their fifth match of the season, while both have four points each, with two wins and two losses for each team.

Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders' top-order batting is a big concern, as they are failing to provide confident starts. It has affected the three-time champions despite managing to win two games. Among the KKR bowlers, Varun Chakaravarthy (six wickets), Vaibhav Arora (six wickets), and Andre Russell (four wickets) have impressed. 

On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants' top-order batting has brought strong answers, and the middle-order batters need to play more responsibly. Their pace bowling unit is slowly recovering from the injury, which can make the team better.
