The Indian Premier League 2024 finalists, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), will face off for the first time in IPL 2025 on Thursday, April 3, at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, West Bengal. (Live Streaming | Full Coverage | More Cricket News)

Both teams are struggling, with just one win from their first three games. Sitting in the bottom three, defending champions KKR are currently last on the points table. To make matters worse, both sides head into this clash on the back of defeats.

KKR got off to a horror start in their last game against MI as Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar did much of the damage in the powerplay. The day though, belonged to debutant Ashwani Kumar.

Ashwani took the best bowling figures by an Indian player on IPL debut to pummel KKR into the ground. Ryan Rickelton made a fifty in the chase and Suryakumar Yadav applied the finishing touches on a paltry chase of 117. 

SRH suffered a top-order collapse against DC, with Mitchell Starc tearing through their batting in the powerplay. It was uncapped Aniket Verma who stepped up, counterattacking brilliantly to steady the innings amid the early wreckage.
