KKR vs PBKS, IPL 2025: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are set to clash with Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 44th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. KKR are in a tough spot with only three wins and five losses from eight matches, coming off a 39-run defeat to Gujarat Titans. The poor form of key players like Andre Russell, Rinku Singh and Ramandeep Singh is hurting their playoff hopes, and another loss could severely dent their chances.
Meanwhile, PBKS have had a stronger campaign so far, with five wins from eight matches, though they recently suffered a seven-wicket loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer, who started IPL 2025 brightly, has seen a dip in form and will be eager to bounce back and lead from the front against KKR.
