Defending Champion Kolkata Knight Rider (KKR) I disagree Sunrise Hyderabad (SRH) In the 68th match of the ongoing IPL 2025, the SRH vs KKR match will take place on Sunday (May 25) at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
The match will put an end to KKR’s disappointing campaign at IPL 2025. The reality champions miserably failed in their quest to become the third team to defend the IPL title. They had struggled with consistency throughout the season this year, and saw little contest to qualify for the playoffs this year.
With 12 points in 13 games, KKR is currently struggling in the seventh spot in the points table. They are keen to win upcoming games and end the campaign with positive notes. As KKR prepares for the contest, we see KKR playing 11.

KKR is playing 11 vs. SRH-IPL 2025, Match 68.
Opener: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (WK), Sunil Narine
Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sunil Narine are set to be openers for KKR, who plays 11 for upcoming games. The responsibility is made to the duo to get a good start from the bat to their team. Garbuzz has played some impressive shots, but has yet to convert the start to a big score.
In the past five innings, the Afghan star has managed a modest 74 runs and is aiming to score a big score against SRH. Narin also starts regularly, but hasn’t had a big knock yet. The Southpaw has scored 215 runs in 11 innings so far.
Intermediate batters: Ajinkya Rahane (C), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Manish Pandey/Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell, Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh
Captain Ajinka Rahane has been a consistent performer in KKR’s bat this season. The right-handed batsman is about to lead the team from the front again. With 375 runs from 12 games, Rahane is the leading lanseller for KKR in IPL 2025.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi is one of the very few positives in a campaign of other, disappointing champions. The young man showed that by delivering in situations of pressure he could become a future star of KKR. He is looking to finish his campaign to the best.
Between Manish Pandee and Venkatish Ayer, it could be part of KKR, who plays 11 in upcoming games. Pandey wants to play Iyer on KKR at 11 for his final game and get another chance. Meanwhile, Iyer will be desperate to score big if he returns to 11.
Rinku Singh and Ramandeep Singh have also failed to deliver the expected line this season. Both are keen to finish their best season. Andre Russell is set to become one of KKR’s important all-arounds, with KKR playing 11. The West Indies star is looking to regain his form with the bat in recent games and make an impact again.
Bowlers: Vaibhav Arora, Varun Chakaravarthy, Harshit Rana
Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana are expected to be two pacers with KKR playing for 11, but Varun Chakravarthy could lead the spin offense. The KKR can also use the left arm spinner Anukul Roy as an impact player.
