Kolkata Knight Riders will go up against five-time champions Chennai Super Kings in match no. 57 of the IPL 2025 season at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday. Ajinkya Rahane’s KKR are in a must-win clash if they hope to qualify for the Playoffs stage as they have only 11 points from 11 matches so far.
Although five-time champions CSK are out of playoff contention, the spotlight remains firmly on MS Dhoni, whose mere presence is expected to turn Eden Gardens into a sea of yellow, even on KKR’s home turf. For Dhoni, Kolkata holds deep personal significance — his in-laws live here, and it’s where he spent much of his formative cricketing years. Wednesday’s clash could be emotionally charged for the 43-year-old and his legion of fans.
The iconic Eden Gardens has been the stage for several of Dhoni’s career milestones, from his maiden first-class century to two of his six Test hundreds. He also featured in local club cricket, most notably shining in a P Sen Trophy final for Shambazar Club. So, when Dhoni walks out on May 7, many will wonder if it’s the last time they see the legendary No.7 at this historic venue.
While KKR face a must-win scenario, needing victories in all three of their remaining matches to stay in the playoff race, much of the attention will inevitably center on Dhoni’s legacy. KKR sit on 11 points, and winning their final three games would take them to 17, though qualification could still hinge on net run rate and other results.
Their run-in — against Sunrisers Hyderabad and RCB (both away) — poses significant challenges. Fresh off a thrilling one-run victory over Rajasthan Royals, KKR will look to sustain momentum.
Andre Russell’s return to form was pivotal in that win, and the Ajinkya Rahane-led side will hope Venkatesh Iyer, under pressure to justify his ₹23.75 crore price tag, can rediscover his touch—perhaps inspired by Russell’s explosive unbeaten half-century.
Although out of the playoff race, CSK are unlikely to make things easy for the hosts. With Dhoni still at the helm and youngsters like Ayush Mhatre eager to shine, CSK will aim to play fearless, expressive cricket.
