Huge win for KKR!

KKR vs SRH IPL 2025 LIVE Updates, Scores, News, Images and Free Commentary: KKR thrash SRH by 80 runs | sportzpoint.com

Andre Russell delivered the final blow as KKR wrapped up a dominant victory at Eden Gardens. Harshal Patel attempted a wild heave across the line but only managed to send the ball straight up in the air. Russell calmly took the catch, sealing SRH’s crushing defeat.  

It was a one-sided affair, with KKR outclassing their opponents in every department. SRH’s batting lineup crumbled under relentless pressure, and their chase never gained any real momentum. The writing had been on the wall for quite some time.  

This emphatic win will be a massive boost for KKR, not just in points but also in net run rate. Meanwhile, SRH will have plenty to reflect on as they attempt to bounce back from this heavy defeat. KKR win by 80 runs.

Apr 3, 2025, 5:24 PM

Double wicket over from Varun!

Here’s the next part of the summary:

Varun Chakravarthy struck twice in the 16th over, tightening KKR’s grip on the match. Pat Cummins fell first, miscuing a slog straight to long on, leaving SRH reeling at eight down. Simarjeet Singh followed immediately, bowled through the gate by a stunning delivery that spun sharply back in.

With SRH down to their last wicket, Mohammed Shami walked in to join Harshal Patel. Chakravarthy nearly completed a hat-trick, but Shami survived. The required run rate had skyrocketed to 21 runs per over, making SRH’s task nearly impossible.

KKR’s disciplined bowling attack continued to strangle SRH, with Varun and Arora leading the charge. Every dot ball pushed SRH further into desperation, and their chase looked all but over.

Apr 3, 2025, 5:23 PM

KKR closer to win!

Sunil Narine struck in the 10th over as Kamindu Mendis mistimed a pull shot straight to deep midwicket. Aniket Verma walked in and immediately made his presence felt with a classy boundary. However, with SRH needing 129 off the last 10 overs, the pressure was mounting.

Varun Chakravarthy joined the attack in the 11th over and removed Aniket Verma, who miscued a slog to deep midwicket. Pat Cummins arrived at the crease and got off the mark with a cheeky lap shot for four. Klaasen, at the other end, looked determined to take the game deep.

Klaasen took charge in the 14th over, smashing Narine for back-to-back sixes to keep SRH's hopes alive. However, KKR missed a chance to dismiss him when UltraEdge revealed a nick that went unnoticed. With the required run rate soaring past 15, SRH needed something special.

Vaibhav Arora delivered a crucial blow in the 15th over, dismissing Klaasen for 33 with a well-disguised slower bouncer. SRH’s chase took another hit, leaving Cummins and Harshal Patel with an uphill task. Despite some quick singles, the asking rate climbed to an almost impossible 17.4 runs per over.

KKR’s disciplined bowling attack, led by Arora and Narine, kept SRH in check. The fall of Klaasen all but sealed the game for KKR, with only tailenders left to chase an improbable 87 off 30 balls. Cummins and Harshal needed a miracle from there.

With the match slipping away, SRH’s batters struggled to find the boundary. KKR’s bowlers maintained tight lines, and the fielders backed them up with sharp work. As the equation worsened, KKR edged closer to sealing a convincing victory at Eden Gardens.

Apr 3, 2025, 4:40 PM

Russell gets Reddy | SRH 51/4

Kamindu Mendis takes on Russell with two massive sixes and a cracking four.  

Nitish Kumar Reddy throws his wicket away with a soft flick straight to Narine. He won’t believe how easily he gifted that.

After many rumours and speculations, we will see a dry pitch at Eden Gardens, which will surely help the spinners of the Kolkata Knight Riders. Ajinkya Rahane and company will surely look to take the "home advantage" to restrict the batting lineup of SRH. 

However, SRH also has someone like Adam Zampa in their ranks, who can be lethal on this wicket as well,

Team News

Lucknow Super Giants

LSG’s injury concerns have plagued their first 11 and the bench together, which means they don’t have much wiggle room to switch combinations. They’d be happy to get Akashdeep back, though, and like Avesh Khan earlier in the season, the Rs. 8 crore signing should slot into the 11 straightaway.

For that, Digvesh Rathi might be relegated to the impact players bench, and become an extra option alongside Prince Yadav, Manimaran Siddharth and Shahbaz Ahmed for the team’s needs according to the pitch.

The only other change LSG might make is to push skipper Pant to open the innings, just to see if that brings the best out of him and Aiden Markram, who’s also struggling with form.

Mumbai Indians

MI have been dealt a major blow recently as Jasprit Bumrah’s recovery has been reportedly delayed. Initially, he was to miss only the first three games but now there’s a chance he might not play the entire season.

So, the five-time champions need to build on the momentum they have got from the major win over KKR. Although the pitches in Lucknow have tended to be flatter than those at the Wankhede, Ashwani’s left-arm pace and Vignesh Puthur’s spin gives them good balance and adaptability in the attack.

There’s a good chance they stick with the same combination unless there are any injury concerns.

Possible XIs

Lucknow Super Giants: Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant (WK, C), Ayush Badoni, David Miller, Abdul Samad, Akash Deep, Shardul Thakur, Avesh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi.

Impact Subs: Prince Yadav, Manimaran Siddharth, Shahbaz Ahmed, Himmat Singh, Digvesh Rathi.

Mumbai Indians:Ryan Rickelton (WK), Rohit Sharma, Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (C), Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult and Vignesh Puthur.

Impact Subs: Ashwani Kumar, Corbin Bosch, Raj Bawa, Robin Minz and Satyanarayana Raju.

Fantasy Team Prediction

Nicholas Pooran (VC), Rishabh Pant, Ryan Rickelton, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, Hardik Pandya, Aiden Markram, Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Ashwani Kumar.

This is crunched over midwicket by Patidar and the skipper gets his first boundary. Flicked to mid-on now by Patidar for a single.

Patidar comes in now

Siraj bowls one outside off to the RCB skipper, who lets the ball go. However, umpire calls it a dead-ball, so Siraj will have to reload that one.
