KKR vs LSG Dream11 Prediction, Playing 11, 21st Match – IPL 2025 | Fantasy Cricket Tips
Hello and welcome to the KKR vs LSG Dream11 Prediction and Fantasy Cricket Tips.
The first match of the Tuesday double-header will be between Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants at Eden Gardens, Kolkata – the home ground for KKR.
This IPL season is heating up with every passing game. Some of the big teams are still at the bottom of the table, and that only adds more drama to the upcoming fixtures.
As they try to bounce back, it’s going to get even tougher for the teams currently holding the top spots.
Kolkata Knight Riders have had a mixed run so far. They’ve played 4 matches, won 2, and lost 2, placing them in 5th position with 4 points.
As the defending champions, there’s pressure to deliver, and although there have been a few ups and downs, they’ll be feeling more confident now after a convincing win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last outing.
The most promising sign for KKR is the return to form of key players. Venkatesh Iyer and Rinku Singh, who were struggling early on, stepped up big time in the last match and were instrumental in the victory.
Add to that the impressive performance from Vaibhav Arora with the ball, and KKR finally seem to be finding their rhythm.
Lucknow Super Giants are in a very similar spot. They’ve also played 4 matches, with 2 wins and 2 losses, sitting just behind KKR in 6th place with the same number of points.
Like KKR, they’re also coming off a win—beating Mumbai Indians by 12 runs in a tight contest.
LSG’s top order looks solid with Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, and Nicholas Pooran all in decent touch.
But the form of skipper Rishabh Pant is a growing concern. He’s been struggling with the bat, and the team really needs him to anchor the innings and bring stability in the middle overs.
Injuries have affected LSG’s bowling depth, but the inclusion of Akash Deep has added a new dimension to their pace attack.
His presence brings much-needed balance and control, which they’ll need on a surface like Eden Gardens.
With both teams tied on points and trying to break into the top four, this clash is going to be crucial.
Expect a high-intensity contest, especially with the kind of firepower both sides have in the batting lineup.

The pitch at Eden Gardens, Kolkata is traditionally known to be excellent for batting and often produces high-scoring games.
The ball comes on nicely to the bat, and the quick outfield makes run-scoring even easier for set batters.
However, there’s also good bounce on offer, especially early in the innings, which allows seamers to be effective if they hit the right lengths.
As the game progresses, the dry nature of the surface starts to take over, bringing spinners into the game during the middle overs.
So, while it’s a batter-friendly wicket overall, bowlers with variation—especially spinners and swing bowlers—can make a big difference if used smartly.
