Kolkata Knight Riders Battle Chennai’s Pride to Keep Playoff Dreams Afloat

IPL 2025 play-off fight turns more intense with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) hosting knocked-out Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a do-or-die affair at Eden Park on May 7. KKR, on the back of a heart-stopping one-run victory over Rajasthan Royals, needs to win every remaining game and rely on encouraging results elsewhere if they are to remain in contention. Ajinkya Rahane's side will rely on the current match condition batters and bowlers to make their play-off dreams turn into reality.

 

Meanwhile, MS Dhoni’s CSK-already knocked out after a string of losses-are eager to spoil KKR’s party and end their season on a high. Historically dominant over KKR, CSK could still influence the playoff picture.

 

The match begins at 7:30 PM IST, with live coverage on Star Sports and free streaming on JioHotstar.
