In game number 57 of the Indian Premier League, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are ready to take on the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). After defeating CSK in a previous match, KKR is now aiming for another victory. KKR wants to climb high in the points table. With 11 games played, KKR has five victories. They have 11 points and are in sixth place. For the defending champions, there is still a chance to qualify for the playoffs.
On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings season is over. This season has been very poor for the five-times IPL winners. CSK are going into the game with a defeat over RCB. However CSK will aim to bounce back and move from 10 places.
1. Ajinkya Rahane achieving 5000 runs in IPL:
In IPL 2025, Ajinkya Rahane, captain of Kolkata Knight Riders, is 31 runs away from reaching the milestone. Since playing IPL regularly since 2011, Rahane has scored over 4969 runs. The best seasons for Ajinkya Rahane in the IPL came in 2012 and 2015, when he scored 560 and 540 runs, respectively. However, the upcoming game against CSK gives him a chance to reach the 5000 runs mark in IPL and makes him the seventh player to achieve this feat. It will be more special for Ajinkya Rahane as he is leading the team.
2. Varun Chakaravarthy getting 100 IPL wickets:
Varun Chakaravathry immediately established himself as a vital member of the KKR team after making debut for KKR. Starting his IPL journey with Punjab Kings, Chakaravathry took 98 wickets in 82 IPL games. He needs just two more wickets to achieve 100 IPL innings. With the upcoming match against CSK, he may easily do this.
3. Sam Curran scoring 1000 runs:
So far, Sam Curran has played for only two IPL teams. Sam Curran is a good all-rounder and gets runs with the bat. Playing in 64 IPL he scored 997 runs. Currently, Sam Curran is still three runs shy of reaching 1000 runs in the Indian Premier League. Keeping in mind his form Sam can achieve this feat in the next game.
