KKR vs LSG Dream11 Prediction IPL 2025: Match 21 of the Indian Premier League 2025 brings us a high-stakes clash between Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants—two teams sitting in the middle of the points table and hungry for consistency. Both sides have shown flashes of brilliance but need a solid win here to stay in the playoff hunt.
Kolkata Knight Riders: Hot and Cold Season So Far
The defending champions KKR haven’t been able to find their rhythm this season. Their campaign began with a heavy defeat at home against RCB. However, they bounced back with an away win over Rajasthan Royals, only to be thrashed again—this time by Mumbai Indians. Most recently, they got their second win of the season by comfortably beating Sunrisers Hyderabad.
With 2 wins from 4 matches, KKR is currently sitting fifth on the points table, with a fairly average net run rate.
Lucknow Super Giants: Still Looking for Momentum
LSG started their season with a thrilling last-over loss to Delhi Capitals. They responded well with a dominant win against SRH but couldn’t keep that going, falling to Punjab Kings in their third match. In their most recent game, they held their nerve and defeated Mumbai Indians in a close contest.
Like KKR, LSG also has 2 wins and 4 points, but they’re sixth on the table due to a slightly weaker net run rate.

Eden Gardens Pitch Report – KKR vs LSG Match 21
Eden Gardens has returned to its spin-friendly nature this season. After a high-scoring 2024, the pitches are now offering sharp turn and grip again. Spinners have dominated in recent games, especially in the second half of the innings. Teams will look to capitalize in the powerplay before the pitch slows down.
Kolkata Weather Report: KKR vs LSG Dream11 Prediction
Expect a hot and sticky afternoon in Kolkata, with temperatures around 35°C. There could be some light cloud cover, but rain is unlikely. Humidity will be high, and the breeze may offer some movement early on for the bowlers.
KKR vs LSG Dream11 Prediction: 3 Key Players To Watch
- Venkatesh Iyer (KKR): After a slow start to the season, Iyer has finally found form. He smashed a powerful 60 off 29 balls against SRH in the last match and seems ready to justify his big price tag. If he fires again, KKR’s middle order becomes even more dangerous.
- Digvesh Rathi (LSG): This young spinner has impressed everyone with his control and ability to take wickets under pressure. Inspired by Sunil Narine, Rathi now gets a chance to bowl on the same ground as his idol—and on a pitch that suits his style perfectly.
- Varun Chakravarthy (KKR): Eden Gardens brings out the best in Varun. In the previous match here, he took 3/22 and made scoring nearly impossible in the middle overs. Expect him to play a crucial role once again on this spin-friendly surface.
KKR vs LSG Dream11 Prediction: Who Will Win?
Looking at the team balance and the home advantage, Kolkata Knight Riders look slightly stronger, especially with their spinners in form. Lucknow has firepower, but they may struggle on a turning track.
Prediction: Kolkata Knight Riders to win Match 21 of IPL 2025.
