IPL 2025: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants – Stats Preview

The reigning champions Kolkata Knight Riders will square off against Lucknow Super Giants in the 21st match of the ongoing IPL 2025 at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Tuesday. Both of these two teams have managed two wins and as many losses in the tournament so far and they would look to be more consistent in their performances.

Ajinkya Rahane has done a decent job as a leader as he has got the best out of the players. KKR has all the depth in their batting unit and they must make the most of it.

On the other hand, LSG is continuing with their strategy of playing with four overseas batters and they should look to strengthen their pace battery, which lacks experience.
