How to get Kolkata Knight Riders to IPL 2025 playoffs:

IPL 2025: Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Delhi Capitals by 14 runs at their home in the last match. The team scored 204 runs losing 9 wickets while batting first. Angkrish Raghuvanshi (44) and Rinku Singh (36) played good innings. Delhi’s team chased the target, scoring only 190 runs at the loss of 9 wickets in 20 overs.

Ajinkya Rahane’s team defeated Delhi to keep the playoff hopes alive. Let us tell you how the team can now make its place in the playoffs of IPL 2025.

IPL 2025: Kolkata Knight Riders can reach the playoffs by doing this work

The Kolkata Knight Riders winning against Delhi Capitals at Arun Jaitley Stadium on 29 April was the fourth win of the current season. Ajinkya Rahane’s team is ranked seventh in the IPL 2025 points table with 9 points after 10 matches.

However, with just four wins and a draw after 10 matches, it is difficult for Kolkata to reach the playoffs. To stay in the top-4, the franchisees have to ensure victory in three of their remaining four league matches. If this happens, KKR will remain in Top-4 with 15 points after the league stage and can make it to the playoffs for the second consecutive season.

So far, two teams-Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals-have 14–14 points after 10 matches, and two teams-Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans-have 12–12 points and have at least four more matches (GT has to play five matches). These four franchises will have a chance to easily cross the 16 -digit figure.

Kolkata Knight Riders’ next four matches

Against Chennai Super Kings, May 7- Eden Gardens

Sunrisers against Hyderabad, May 10- Rajiv Gandhi Stadium

Royal Challengers against Bangalore, May 17- M. Chinnaswamy Stadium
