The reigning champions Kolkata Knight Riders will square off against previous season’s runners-up Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata in the 15th match of the ongoing IPL 2025 on Thursday. Both teams have won a solitary contest out of the three matches they have played and this would be a crucial game for both sides.
The win and loss column is not the only thing which is common between these two finalists of the previous season. Both team’s star-studded batting line-up has not delivered in two of the three games and it has led to their downfall.
