IPL 2025: Predicting KKR’s Playing XI for their clash against SRH

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be playing their last game in the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL) against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in match no. 68. Both teams are knocked out of the playoff race and will play to end in a better position in the points table. The title defence for KKR ended after their game against RCB was washed out due to rain. With a seventh place in the points table, KKR can finish someplace above SRH, who are in ninth place.

The Kolkata Knight Riders won five of their 13 games, while weather forced the cancellation of two more. To close up IPL 2025 on a high note, the reigning champions will try to win this match.

Top Order:

Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sunil Narine will be the opening pair for KKR in the match. Sunil Narine could not live up to the mark of IPL 2024, and the Caribbean opener struggled to give a roaring start to the team. However, as it will be the last game for KKR, he would like to finish it well.  The team’s captain, Ajinkya Rahane, bats at number three and anchors the innings in each match. Rahane’s batting helped KKR many times.

Middle Order:

The team’s standout batter has been Angkrish Raghuvanshi. The young batter has shown a lot of talent with his batting style and can make a big name in the upcoming years. Manish Pandey can play a fiery knock and can hold one end. Andre Russell gives middle-order strength and batting depth, as he comes to bat late down the order.

Lower-Middle Order:

Rinku Singh and Ramandeep Singh give power to the batting lineup. Rinku Singh can play the position of finisher and is a powerful hitter. In fast few games Rinku played some important knocks for the team.

Lower Order:

Anrich Nortje and Harshit Rana will lead the team in the bowling department. When the match is at its most crucial phase, both bowlers are reliable for taking wickets. Varun Chakaravarthy has been KKR’s key bowler. He has always provided the breakthroughs for the team.

Impact Player: Vaibhav Arora will be playing a supportive role in the bowling unit. The pacer can help Nortje and Rana in the middle overs.
