IPL 2025, Kolkata Weather Forecast: Will rain play spoilsport in today’s KKR vs CSK match at Eden Gardens?

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be facing off against the Chennai Super Kings at the iconic Eden Gardens on May 7th. KKR currently holds a record of five wins and five defeats in 11 games, placing them sixth on the points table. With only three games left in the season, a victory in each match could potentially secure their spot in the playoffs.

On the other hand, the Chennai Super Kings have already been eliminated from the tournament. With nothing to lose, they have the freedom to play fearless cricket. Despite their poor performance in the IPL 2025 season, CSK should not be underestimated. A loss to CSK would deal a significant blow to KKR's playoff aspirations.

In their previous encounters, both teams have faced each other 30 times, with the Chennai Super Kings emerging victorious 19 times. This dominance showcases CSK's supremacy over the defending champions, who have managed to secure 11 wins against the MS Dhoni-led side in the past

The upcoming KKR vs CSK match in Kolkata is facing a potential disruption due to a 55 percent chance of precipitation.
