Kolkata Knight Riders suffered defeat against Gujarat Titans in the last match.
IPL 2025: Kolkata Knight Riders suffered an embarrassing defeat by 39 runs against Gujarat Titans in the last match. The Gujarat team scored 198 runs, losing 3 wickets, batting first in the match. In response, Kolkata was able to score only 159 runs in 20 overs at the loss of 8 wickets. This is the team’s fifth defeat in 8 matches in the ongoing season. The team is currently in seventh position in the points table with three wins and 6 points.
In view of the current position of Kolkata Knight Riders in the points table, it is difficult to reach the playoffs. But the team still has a chance. Let us tell you how Kolkata can reach the playoffs.
In this way Kolkata Knight Riders can reach the playoffs
Kolkata Knight Riders will have to win their remaining 6 matches to reach the IPL 2025 playoffs. If the team is able to do this, then at the end of the league stage they will have 18 points and the team can secure their place in the playoffs. Let me tell you, KKR’s run rate is good even after five defeats, so the team would like to make it better now.
If the team wins five out of the remaining 6 matches, then they will have a chance to make it to the top-4 with 16 points. However, six teams are already above them, so five wins will help them, which will depend on their better net run rate and other teams results.
If the defending champion team succeeds in winning four of their remaining six matches, then they will have 14 points. However, this season will not be enough to make a place in the playoffs. If this situation occurs, the team will be out of the race and will remain mathematically in the competition. Then for the team, not only winning but also to increase your NRR will have to win with a good difference.
