Preview: KKR and SRH, last season’s finalists, now meet in a low-stakes clash to cap off a disappointing IPL 2025 campaign for both sides. SRH started strong but fizzled out as their high-risk batting faltered and the bowling lacked cutting edge, while KKR’s season was marked by batting inconsistency despite their dominant spin duo of Narine and Chakaravarthy. With pride on the line, both teams will look to experiment and end their campaigns on a positive note, even as they reflect on what could have been.
Venue: Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi
Date & Time: May 25, 07:30 PM LOCAL
Pitch & weather Report: The Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch is traditionally known to be on the slower side, favoring spinners as the game progresses. However, in recent seasons, the surface has been batting-friendly with short boundaries assisting in the high-scoring matches. A high-scoring match can be expected at a neutral venue for both teams.
SRH Probable XI: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan(wk), Heinrich Klaasen, Nitish Reddy, Abhinav Manohar, Aniket Verma, Pat Cummins(c), Harsh Dubey, Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Eshan Malinga.
KKR Probable XI: Rahmanullah Gurbaz(wk), Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane(c), Venkatesh Iyer, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Ramandeep Singh, Andre Russell, Rinku Singh, Harshit Rana, Vaibhav Arora, Varun Chakaravarthy, Anrich Nortje/Spencer Johnson
