KKR playoff chances IPL 2025 News

As IPL 2025 nears its climax, the playoff race intensifies with teams like RCB, MI, GT, and DC in strong positions, while CSK has been officially eliminated. KKR, PBKS, LSG, and RR remain in contention but need key wins and favorable net run rates. SRH and RR face near-impossible paths, requiring dominant performances and other results to go their way. CSK's poor form and NRR ruled them out despite four games left. With just weeks remaining, every match now holds massive playoff implications. Fans can expect high-stakes clashes as teams fight for a top-four spot in IPL 2025.

Delhi Capitals suffered a 14-run defeat to KKR in IPL 2025 after a middle-order collapse, despite strong efforts from Faf du Plessis, Axar Patel, and Vipraj Nigam.

Venkatesh Iyer’s underwhelming performances, including a sluggish 14 off 19 against Gujarat Titans, have sparked heavy criticism as KKR’s IPL 2025 campaign falters with five losses in eight matches.

KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane admitted their 39-run loss to Gujarat Titans was due to a faltering batting performance while chasing a chaseable target in IPL 2025.

Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) IPL 2025 playoff hopes took a hit after a 39-run loss to Gujarat Titans. Chasing 199, KKR managed only 159/8 despite Ajinkya Rahane’s 50 and a late cameo from Angkrish Raghuvanshi. GT’s win was powered by Shubman Gill’s 90 and disciplined bowling from Rashid Khan and Prasidh Krishna. With just three wins in eight games, KKR must now win at least five of their remaining six matches to stay in playoff contention. Their positive net run rate offers some cushion, but any further losses or big defeats could severely damage their chances.
