KKR vs LSG : In the match between KKR and Lucknow, there will be a contest between Narine and Digvesh, eyes will be on Pant

The IPL 2025 match will be played between defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday. There will be two matches in the IPL on Tuesday as the match to be played between KKR and Lucknow on Sunday had to be rescheduled. The match between these two teams will also see a contest between Sunil Narine and Digvesh Rathi.

Digvesh is a big fan of Narine

Digvesh is a big fan of KKR's experienced all-rounder Narine, but both of them will play against each other. It will be interesting to see who prevails in the match between Narine and Digvesh. KKR and Lucknow have performed mixedly so far and both the teams have four points each from two wins so far. KKR and Lucknow had won their last matches, so both the teams will try to maintain their momentum.

KKR got relief as Venkatesh returned to form

Kolkata played its last match on this ground and won easily against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Therefore, it is unlikely that it will make any changes in its playing-11. The relief for KKR is that its most expensive player Venkatesh Iyer has returned to form, while Rinku Singh and captain Ajinkya Rahane also made significant contributions. Young Angkrish Raghuvanshi also impressed. However, the opening pair remains a matter of concern for KKR. Quinton de Kock and Sunil Narine have failed to give the team an aggressive start like Phil Salt last season.

Pant needs to return to form

The worry for Lucknow is that its captain Rishabh Pant's bat has not worked yet. Pant is the most expensive player to be sold in the IPL auction, but has not been able to perform at that level so far. It seems unlikely that Lucknow will make any changes in the playing-11. They have the option of replacing Akash Deep with Prince Yadav, but Akash has a lot of experience playing at Eden Gardens, so the team will hardly take the risk of keeping him out.
