KKR vs SRH IPL 2025 Live: KKR’s big names failed
KKR’s big-money re-signing, Venkatesh Iyer, has managed just nine runs from two innings, adding to the team’s woes. Among retained players, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Harshit Rana, and Ramandeep Singh have struggled to find their touch. The team’s aggressive batting approach — assuming 200 is the par score on all pitches — has also backfired as a tactical re-evaluation is also the need of the hour before it’s too late.

IPL 2025 Live: Pitch report
“62m and 64m square boundaries with the straight boundary at 75m. The pockets aren’t too big either, at 69m and 70m respectively. A pretty good surface, it’s really firm and well put together, well grassed. But there is an area where there are some spots which can be worked out by the spinners. You can bowl a full length, hit those spots and get some spin with the new ball as well. 100% chase if you win the toss, a hot day at around 35 degrees, dew could come in and make the ball skid,” reckon Pommie Mbangwa and Eoin Morgan, in their pitch report.

KKR vs SRH Live: Mitchell Starc’s absence hurting KKR
Mitchell Starc’s departure has particularly hurt KKR, as their pace attack appears toothless in his absence. To compound the frustration, Starc registered a match-winning 5/35 for DC against SRH in their last outing — the Aussie’s first T20 five-wicket haul and the best bowling figures of the season so far. Australian pacer Spencer Johnson, brought in to replace Starc, has failed to impress, while Anrich Nortje remains sidelined with a back injury.

KKR vs SRH IPL 2025 Live: SRH aim to bounce back
Sunrisers Hyderabad, after a record-breaking 286/6 in their season opener, have struggled to breach the 200-run mark in their last two games. Their ultra-attacking batting approach has led to collapses against Lucknow Super Giants (190/9) and Delhi Capitals (163 all out), resulting in consecutive defeats. Pat Cummins’ side will also need to reassess the strategy as they look to avenge their loss in last season’s IPL final.

KKR vs SRH Live: Eden Gardens’ pitch under scanner
KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane had initially downplayed concerns surrounding his team following a heavy defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the season opener, insisting there was “no need to panic”. However, with two losses in three matches — considering KKR lost just three games across both home and away legs in their triumphant campaign in IPL 2024 — the mood in the camp is slightly muted.
