IPL 2025: Kolkata Knight Riders Playing XI against Sunrisers Hyderabad | SRH vs KKR
The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League has given us so many exciting moments and matches, and the excitement level is expected to rise even further as it progresses towards the playoffs. For the next match of the season, Kolkata Knight Riders will be facing Sunrisers Hyderabad at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. In this match, number 60 of the season, Kolkata will be looking to secure a victory as it needs to win all of the upcoming matches for playoff qualification, while Sunrisers Hyderabad, who have disappointed with their game this season so far, will be trying to end their season on a high note by winning the last few matches. This article will discuss Kolkata Knight Riders' expected playing XI for the upcoming match.
The Kolkata Knight Riders, the defending champions, haven't played impressive cricket this season as they did last season. The team has played twelve matches so far but has achieved victory in only five matches, losing six, while one match was abandoned due to rain, earning one point in that match. KKR is currently in 7th position in the points table with 11 points from 12 matches. On the other hand, the Sunrisers Hyderabad have played even more disappointing cricket, having lost most of their matches despite being a strong team. Hyderabad is currently in 8th position in the points table with just 7 points from 11 matches.

Top Order
In the top order, Kolkata Knight Riders will have the opening combination of Afghan Rahmanullah Gurbaz and West Indian all-rounder Sunil Narine. The team had initially gone with De Kock and Narine, but after inconsistent performances, they have included Gurbaz as an opener. Meanwhile, at the number three spot, captain Ajinkya Rahane will bat. He started the season in explosive form, but failed to maintain the momentum.

For the middle order, KKR will have Venkatesh Iyer, who has underperformed so far despite being acquired for a whooping 23 crore price. Alongside him, the team will include Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Moeen Ali and Rinku Singh. Meanwhile, in the lower middle order, KKR will also feature Raman Deep Singh and all-rounder Andre Russell.
Bowlers
In the bowling attack, KKR will feature a pace unit led by young Indian fast bowler Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Arora, along with Russell handling the death overs. The team will also be having a strong spin department, with Sunil Narine and Moeen Ali at the taking the charge, and star Indian spinner Varun Chakravarthy playing a crucial role in the middle overs.
