Delhi: The 44th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is being held between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) today, that is, on Saturday at the historic Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata. Punjab has won the toss and decided to bat first.
Captains’ statements:
“It is about playing good cricket, it is important to achieve whatever goals are. Our bowling has been very good. The bowlers have improved a lot. The boys have disappointed a little in the batting, but have to play fearlessly in this format. Our batting unit will have to do well in this match. We are playing good cricket in pieces. Now we need to be positive.”
Shreyas Iyer: “We are batting first. Since we are playing on the same pitch, on which they also played, there are some cracks, this will give us an idea of the behavior of the pitch. Playing in front of the audience is always a great experience. Today there is a chance, there is a chance here, coming here and enjoying this atmosphere. We are getting a great start to enjoy this atmosphere. That the bowlers take wickets, this changes the match’s momentum.
