The IPL 2025 21st match will take place on April 8 at 3:30 PM IST at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. This match will feature Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) taking on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Last season, the two teams faced off twice, in Match 28 and Match 54, and KKR won both encounters.

This truly reflects KKR’s dominance as the IPL 2024 champions. In the IPL 2025 19th match, LSG will have to visit Kolkata as the away team to challenge KKR. Given the difference in strength and the fact that it’s an away game, LSG’s situation isn’t looking very favorable. At this point, apart from giving their best, the only thing left for LSG might just be to pray to the gods.
